LEGO Star Wars 2015 Wookie Gunship Revealed! (SDCC 2014)

It’s become tradition that LEGO debut the first few sets from the next year’s line of LEGO products during San Diego Comic Con each year. And while San Diego Comic Con 2014 won’t begin officially until tonight, LEGO just couldn’t wait to give us a glimpse at the very first of the LEGO 2015 sets to be revealed! And where better to start than with the most popular LEGO licensed theme of all-time: a LEGO Star Wars 2015 set! Coming our way in January 2015, it’s the LEGO Star Wars Wookie Gunship 75084!

LEGO Star Wars 2015 Wookie Gunship 75084 Set

We’re still almost a year away from Star Wars Episode VII hitting theaters, which means that we’re a long way out from getting LEGO Star Wars Episode VII sets. But to fill the void while we wait for the new Star Wars movie trilogy to arrive, Disney has a highly-marketed new cartoon TV Series to keep our Star Wars appetites whet: Star Wars Rebels!

And while we have no idea yet how well-received the Star Wars: Rebels series will be, LEGO is wisely choosing to release a set in 2015 that harkens back to the previous Star Wars movies by including everyone’s favorite hairy aliens species that isn’t the Ewoks–Wookies!

LEGO Star Wars 2015 Minifigures from LEGO Wookie GunshipLEGO 75084 will include four minifigures: a LEGO Kanan Jarrus minifigure (one of the main characters of Star Wars Rebels), a LEGO Wullffwarro minifigure and two LEGO Wookiees Minifigures. Though we don’t know a whole lot about this plot in the Star Wars: Rebels TV Series just yet, everybody always loves Wookies, right?

LEGO 2015 Rebels Wookie Gunship Set Back ViewThe LEGO Star Wars Rebels Wookie Gunship 75084 set itself will contain 570 pieces at a retail price of $69.99. I’m really not liking that parts-per-piece price-point of over 12 cents per piece! I’ll have to see how much I enjoy the Star Wars Rebels series and how relevant the Wookie Gunship is in the show before I decide if I’m interested in picking up this set.

There aren’t a whole lot of images of the 2015 LEGO Star Wars Wookie Gunship just yet, but once SDCC 2014 opens up later today, there should be plenty (as in, “thousands”) of photos of the set floating around. And I am dying to see the new LEGO rapid shooters in action, so here’s to hoping that LEGO has some demos set up with the Rebels Wookie Gunship LEGO Star Wars set this weekend!

75084 LEGO Wookie Gunship LEGO Star Wars 2015 SetThe 75084 LEGO Star Wars Wookie Gunship set is scheduled to be released in January 2015. I’ll continue to post photos and updates throughout the year as the rest of the Winter 2015 LEGO Star Wars sets are announced, so be sure to ‘Like’ Bricks and Bloks on Facebook to have news sent right to your Facebook Newsfeed!

How do you like the first LEGO 2015 Star Wars set, LEGO fans? Are you excited about the future of LEGO Star Wars Rebels sets, or are you bummed that LEGO will be putting an emphasis on the upcoming Star Wars Rebels cartoon series?

  1. $69.99 is probably a mistake. The highest any winter set has been was $59.99. This situation happened to the AT-AP as well.

  2. I have to say that is a pretty cool set and I suppose its marketing success will depend on the success of the new TV show “Rebels”. Anyway I will be looking to get that set, when it comes out. 🙂
    Thanks for posting this information guys!
