With aerial combat being re-introduced in Star Wars Battlefront II, heroics in space will be taking centre stage again.

It is amazing that the LEGO Group has not done this before, but a pack with pilots and astromech droids seems like a no brainer. By popping four of them in a box, ideally making a slight colour change on each one, the mould would be optimised and fans would finally be able to bulk out those Wookiee armies for a reasonable price. In the set 75084 Wookiee Gunship, the LEGO Group produced new moulds for the furry characters. With Battlefront II taking players to the species’ home world of Kashyyyk, the opportunity is there for a LEGO Star Wars Battle Pack. The exceptionally cool armour that Iden Versio’s group wear makes them ripe for a minifigure makeover, with the intriguing storyline adding to their desirability.Ĭhewbacca may be the most famous of them all, but Wookiees have long intrigued Star Wars fans and having more of the lovable species would be no bad thing at all. The rest of the entries on this list are the types of Battle Packs that fans have been seeking for a while, but Inferno Squad are of course new to the game. The story promises to bridge the gap between the end of Return of the Jedi and the opening of The Force Awakens. This will focus on Inferno Squad, an elite group of troopers responsible for carrying out special missions in the wake of the Emperor’s death. And this time around, the launch trailer shows that there are so many more factions to choose from…īattlefront II will provide a story mode, a relief to the many fans of the series who were disappointed at the omission in Battlefront (2015).

With EA releasing Star Wars Battlefront II, the latest game in the beloved all-out war series, this may be an opportunity for the LEGO Group to base some battle packs on the game as they did in 2016. Over the years there have been must-haves such as Stormtroopers and Rebels, obscure but beloved characters such as Mandalorians and utterly boring choices such as Assassin Droids.

Star Wars Battle Packs have become a mainstay of the LEGO Star Wars line over the last decade, giving collectors the chance to amass armies of the most desirable troop builders.
