Summary
Legohas been rolling outStar Warssets at a faster rate than usual so far in 2024 to celebrate 25 years of turning locations, characters, and vehicles from a galaxy far, far away into Minifigures and sets. NewR2-D2 and Millennium Falcon setsare already available, anda TIE Interceptor setwill be released later this week ahead of Star Wars Day. To further mark 25 years of working with Star Wars, Lego has put together a video featuring characters and elements from throughout the series, including some who haven’t been turned into Lego yet.
Among the inclusions that can’t be found in Lego sets yet but make an appearance in the video is Star Wars Jedi’s Cal Kestis. As Saw Gerrera and Ahsoka’s Ezra are being overwhelmed by Storm Troopers, the two look down to find BD-1 between them - that’s right, a BD-1 Minifugure was teased too. The camera then zooms out to show Kestis nailing a superhero landing, lightsaber in hand so he can help heroes from other corners of the Lego Star Wars universe fight off the Empire.
Lego has crammed as much as it possibly can into the three-minute video, so Kestis’s appearance was brief. TheFallen Orderprotagonist’s Minifigure does make another appearance at the end of the celebratory montage, standing alongside Lego recreations of characters from throughout Star Wars history for a Grogu-taken selfie. Kestis and BD are only a small part of the wealth of stuff included in the video, and multiple viewings will almost certainly unearth all sorts of Easter eggs.
Who Else Can You See In Lego’s Star Wars Anniversary Video?
As for what this means in terms of Kestis getting a Minifigure, and perhaps even a Lego set of his own, remains unconfirmed. Just because he and BD were shown in Lego form doesn’t mean physical versions are definitely coming. It does make what was already a likely thing even more likely to happen, though. A Kestis Minifigure appearing in the video above comes after a rumor a few months ago thatLego is working on a new Death Star setfor the 25th anniversary of its first Star Wars set, and that one of the Minifigures included with it will be Kestis.
No, there is no direct connection between Kestis and the Death Star, but Lego has been including special anniversary edition Minifigures with unrelated sets throughout 2024. The figures come with a 25th anniversary plaque and so far Gerrera andKnights of the Old Republic’s Darth Malakhave been among them. Not only another video game connection making the introduction of Lego Kestis even more likely, but the anniversary Gerrera figure is the same one the Jedi lands in front of in the celebratory Star Wars video.
