Lego, if you are going to keep redoing Star Wars sets, try these!

So the flavor of the last few years for Lego Star Wars while we are waiting for the new movies to come out has been to redo great sets in a (normally) better or different light. Some have been successes and some haven't. If they are going to do this anyway, I think they should ask us what we want redone next. So I took the liberty of putting together the 5 sets I hope they redo (if they insist on redoing sets).

1. Cloud City (10123)

Alright, before you jump on me about how awesome this set is, I totally agree. I honestly just want it without having to pay 800 dollars for it. In all seriousness though, I would love a UCS set for Cloud City. Think about what they could do with 4000 pieces. It would be amazing and it would fly off the shelves. The original has some awesome attributes but I would love to be able to have the whole feel of cloud city...along with an awesome place to put your Millennium Falcon to dock.

At $800 and counting, its hard to understand how this set only has 698 pieces. A new one could have the same old scene, but add all of the great clouds and ships that make the scene from the movie iconic. Or maybe they could even make it so that the new one fit around the old set! That would really take off!

2. Mos Eisley Cantina (4501)

This is a great little set, but with the way Lego has done some of the larger sets, this screams remake with 2500 pieces. Think about all the extra minifigures you could have with the Cantina Band and Jabba in the corner – again with a place to put your Millennium Falcon. Honestly they could cut out the Landspeeder and just do the whole building scene.

I would also love it if they made it a full building that opened up in some manner. The Star Wars theme really lacks a more modular set to give it a different feel and this could be one of those to go along with the new Jabba's Palace and Rancor pit. Honestly you could make a Jabba set of scenes from the early 200s and from 2013 to show how far Lego has come in 10 years!

3. Watto's Junkyard (7186)

Honestly this set never appealed to me that much. I really like the scene and Watto is a pretty fun character, but this set is a little too old and blocky looking for me. However, it has some serious potential to be redone.

All of the different parts and aspects of the Junkyard could be redone with all the amazing detail Lego uses with their larger sets. They could have a few working Podracers along with some that are half taken apart. A bunch of extra parts would be included laying around as well.

4. Destroyer Droid (8002)

I hope everyone agrees with me that this is the sweetest droid in the Star Wars movies. Honestly I didn't love episode 1-3 near as much the first three (darn you and your dyslexia with episode numbers George Lucas), but this droid was my favorite part of the movies. Plus, I loved fighting against them in Star Wars Battlefront II all the time.

What could really be awesome here is if they added a motorized part. Think about a shield that pops out around it and then it starts firing and walking towards you. The playability would be incredible along with its display-ability. Set it right up along that brand new UCS R2D2!

5. Home One Mon Calimari Cruiser (7754)

Honestly this is the set that made me think of this whole article. It is just... awful. I am convinced that Mega Blocks did it and paid Lego to put their name on it. The detail is not awful, but Calimari Cruiser is massive and amazing... and you put a couple of small rooms from it in the set along with a green A-wing?

The new one needs to be the whole ship, the size of the 10221 Super Star Destroyer. The minfigures were all done pretty well so we could keep them, but add a dock/hanger for other ships that would fit some of the smaller models inside of it for playability. This set had so much potential and it just leaves so much to be desired – which is why you can still get it for $35 under retail. -6% CAGR isn't too bad right?

So Lego, if you are listening, please do these next! And I will be happy to collect a “finder's fee” as well .

What sets would you like redone? Do you agree with these?
