Fans of the Star Wars saga were looking forward to the season start of “The Mandalorian” for a long time until the streaming format was finally broadcast in Germany in March 2020. The story of the bounty hunter and the child has become so popular that Lego dedicated a series to it.
As early as October, Disney + showed the second season of “The Mandalorian”, which was celebrated at least as much as the first. And although it was initially said that the series would be told after two seasons, it is now clear: There will be a third season, which – rumor has it – will appear around Christmas this year. To bridge the gap until then, you can try one of the Lego novelties 2021. Matching the first real series from the fictional Star Wars universe, there are miniature modular systems for handicrafts and collecting for real Mandalorian fans. With great attention to detail.
Lego Star Wars: The Mandalorian – Five sets
1. Trouble on Tatooine
Scenes from the second season can be played with the 277-piece Lego set “Trouble on Tatooine“(75299) can be recreated and re-enacted: This includes the Mandalorian and his speeder bike including saddlebag, a Tusken robber with hut and ballista as well as of course the child – which was (and is) often incorrectly referred to as Baby Yoda.
2. The child
The secret star of the Star Wars series is (besides the Mandalorian) very clear: the child. Initially, many fans speculated that it was the infamous Yoda as a baby – which is not possible if you know the film series and its chronology. The Lego set consists of 1073 parts and is 19 centimeters high, 21 centimeters wide and 13 centimeters deep when assembled.
3. Razor Crest
In addition to the main actors, the Mandalorian’s spaceship is one of the (optical) highlights of the series: “The Razor Crest“, the transporter of the bounty hunter, contains 1023 parts. The side walls of the cargo hold can be opened, in the cockpit there is space for two Lego minifigures. The scope of delivery includes the Mandalorian, Greef Karga, a Scout Trooper and the child.
4. AT-ST robbers
At least as spectacular as the Mandalorian’s spaceship is the “AT-ST runner“. His legs are just as articulated and posable as in the series, and the Lego version also has two shooters for firing and a rotating turret – a figure can be placed in it. The accessories include the Mandalorian, Cara Dune and two Mini runner.
5. Battle Pack
This set is less suitable for handicrafts than for playing. The Lego Star Wars “Battle Pack“(7914) consists of 68 individual parts. This includes a speeder from” The Mandalorian “and a blaster cannon tower as well as four minifigures with their associated weapons: an assassin droid with a panther rifle and three troopers.
The Mandalorian: what is the series about?
For those of you who haven’t seen “The Mandalorian”, here’s a quick recap of the storylines from the first two seasons: As you have probably noticed, the series revolves around a bounty hunter, the Mandalorian. The name refers to its origin, the planet Mandalore. After the fall of the empire, the protagonist is given the task of tracking down a fugitive who is 50 years old. When he finds him, however, the prisoner turns out to be a small child who – purely optically – looks very similar to the Jedi master Yoda (hence the confusion). When he realizes that there is much more to the little guy, he decides not to hand the child over to his imperial client. And protect it instead. So it happens as it has to come: The Mandalorian turns from the hunter to the hunted.
