In the realm of Star Wars-inspired Lego sets, we can see interesting moves here and there. Mostly in time. It’s still clear why the BD-1 droid set, inspired by 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order action-adventure, only came out this summer. After all, a full-fledged sequel called Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is coming out in a few months, so block model BD-1 will still be quite relevant. But why, for example, at the beginning of 2015, the Shadow Trooper pack appeared from the first volume Star Wars: The Force Unleashedwhen the project was already published in 2008, we don’t really understand it. And now we have another such feature.

Already January 1/January 2023 A pack called 501st Legion Clone Trooper Battle Pack appears on the market, which is clearly based on a multiplayer shooter Star Wars: Battlefront 2 since 2017. Thus, the build kit will be available five years after the release of the game template and almost two years after the end of content support.. And no, since it won’t officially release until next year, you’re not reading the Christmas commercial. Although it is true that in some markets it can be obtained in advance.
However, at first glance, this set could only be inspired by the movie. Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002) or a slightly more recent animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This is evidenced, for example, by the relatively general design of the gun included in the set, or the symbol on the box, dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Clone Wars era. Only The soldiers included in the pack are based directly on the playable classes of Battlefront 2..
Veteran shooters from DICE and EA will likely notice that not only do the class names—Heavy, Officer, and Specialist—and weapon type match, but also helmets that exactly match the gear of the clone troopers running around in the game. That is, if we forget about, fortunately, not too long a period that preceded the realization by the creators that Officers, probably, should not run around the battlefield only in uniforms and caps. In other words, they must also have full armor at their disposal.
This isn’t the first time DICE has released a Battlefront 2-inspired Lego set. At the beginning of 2019, the combat pack of the Inferno squad has already been releasedbut it’s more inspired by the single player campaign and accompanying book Star Wars: Battlefront 2: Inferno Squad from Christy Golden. Games have also received their own LEGO sets in the past. Star Wars: Frontline from 2015 or Star Wars: The Old Republic, and of course there are sets that tie into this year’s LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga title.
In any case, it seems that the creators of the most famous kit are still able to find inspiration in the world of video games even in the context of a galaxy far, far awayso we’re already looking forward to what they come up with next. We have a feeling that not only Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, but also Star Wars Eclipse, Star Wars: Hunters, Ubisoft’s Star Wars or the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake can offer more than enough inspiration.
