Toy Fair 2013: Star Wars

LEGO's longest-running and biggest license is the subject of this batch of Toy Fair coverage. That's right, you all wanted to see sets from a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away! What does this perennial moneymaker have to offer in 2013? Read on to see!View the full article

Jek was a clone trooper that was with Yoda in the first episode of The Clone Wars, though that minifig looks nothing like him. I want to believe that it is going to be a tie in to as of yet un-aired episode of The Clone Wars because other sites are referring to the other minifigs as special types of Clone Troopers. But something about this set screams video game to me. It might be from some new content for The Old Republic since the last time I saw a synthetic arm like was in KOTOR II. Or maybe 1313 is coming out much earlier than expected, or it is from some project that has not even been announced yet.

The Droidekas look pretty cool, but I don't get why Lego releases the same model(let's just say, a Republic Gunship) a few times, just using different pieces. I suppose it's their way of making money, but a few sets for a Republic Gunship is kind of strange. Anyway, the Tank Droid has a good design, and so does the new AT-TE(or whatever it's called).

I believe Jek's stealth fighter is a tie in with a LEGO movie or show called the Yoda chronicles. Since it's based on Lego I imagine the ship is not canon but I'll get it anyway because it will always be an E-wing to me. It, along with the A-wing, Headhunter, and battlepacks will probably be the only star wars sets I get this year.

My take on Jek's Stealth Fighter is that it's from the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic. That would be the third or fourth set based on the game.

I took a looksee at the 1313 screenshots and I think it's safe to say the figure to the left of the blue stormtrooper is in the game. Most likely it's from the game.
