Prequel fans and Mandalorian fans will likely both agree - it's time for LEGO to release a minifigure-scale gunship. The ship has been seen prominently this year both in the Bad Batch and the most recent chapter of The Mandalorian.

In an awesome treat for Star Wars fans on Wednesday, Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best returned to live-action Star Wars as Kelleran Beq, a Jedi Master who featured in a kids spinoff show a few years back. In an epic scene on Coruscant, Kelleran was tasked with escorting Grogu out of the temple and protecting him from the onslaught of the 501st clone troopers.

After a massive wave of positive feedback from viewers it would be an absolute no-brainer for LEGO to cash in on this awesome scene. A set featuring Kelleran Beq, Grogu, some regular clone troopers and some shock troopers would likely be very well received by the community, and collectors would likely buy multiple to expand their armies.

Right now there is no guarantee at all that LEGO will ever make this set, but based on how well it was received and the hype it gathered on social media, LEGO would be shooting themselves in the foot if they didn't.
For those who can't wait to see more LEGO Star Wars announcements, LEGO will be updating their website when the Mandalorian Fang Fighter and TIE Interceptor battle takes place towards the end of this season, showing off their new set. We'll also be sending an email out to subscribers, so if you want to stay in the loop, make sure you subscribe or keep an eye on our blog for more updates!
