San Diego Comic Con 2012 – LEGO Star Wars Rancor Pit

July 12, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

A picture of the new LEGO Star Wars Rancor Pit has surfaced a couple of days before the LEGO Star Wars themed day at the 2012 San Diego Comic Con. My first impression of just looking at the picture is that it’s a decent, medium-sized build that could possibly fit under Jabba’s Palace (9516). I will be getting a closer look at the set and have more images and details of it when I go to Comic Con this Saturday.

Images have now emerged for LEGO Star Wars Palpatine’s Arrest (9526) from Germany. The scene is from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith where Jedi Master Mace Windu confronts Palpatine after he finds out that Palpatine was actually the Sith Lord they were after. This is also where Anakin Skywalker turns to the Dark Side when he slices off Windu’s hand and Palpatine shoots him out the window.
