What do YOU consider a SW remake to be?

[comicblast]

I am just curious what qualifies as a SW remake. I gave a few options above along with an example next to it.

I would say any set which has a vehicle or scene which has already been produced, ie ANY Hoth set, X-Wing Tank Droid.

Similiar price points don't matter since the redesign usually costs more than the original design.

Names in general work, but there have been a small amount of sets with different names featuring similiar designs.

Pieces used don't make a difference either. They just need to look the part basically.

Here are two different versions of the Ewok Attack set. Same same and similiar design but years apart.

7139 Released 2002

7956 Released 2011

And here are two that are basically Anakin's spaceship but with two very different names, features, price and exclusivity.

Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid Released 2005

Anakin's Jedi Interceptor Released 2012

You also have General Grevious' Starfighter that has been done like 2-3 times I think.

So are you saying TOK that a SW remake has similar aspects in the set?

Yes. This applies to any themed set really.

Here's a couple more sets with completely different names and features, but the main model is roughly the same thing.

Clone Scout Walker 2005

AT-RT 2013

And here's an odd one. The original had both the spaceship and cannon, but recently Lego came out with two seperate sets. One with just the fighter and the other with only the cannon.

Geonosian Fighter 2003

Geonosian Starfighter 2011

Geonosian Cannon 2012

The Geonosian Fighter, Starfighter, and Cannon was a bit of a confusing one for me too. Also the TIE Fighter & Y-Wing sets are confusing. They come individually as well as in a pack with both. TLG is a mystery in many aspects of their business...

I love vehicles, and I would love to see Lego make more.

Yes, I agree. But what does this have to do with this thread?
