Surely simply knowing the information and being able to notice references that others cannot is good enough, or do you need that surefire satifaction from making someone look as if they are an idiot. Poor Communication Kills: A large part of why Mace distrusts Anakin is because of how heavily he lets his emotions dictate his actions, and because of how close he is to Palpatine, whom Mace feels is grabbing at too much power. However, he never tells Anakin either of these things, even when the Council asks him to spy on the Senator, which only ends up making the relationship between the two strained. Similarly, he doesn't explain that Anakin being far too emotional about not getting the rank of Master is what prevents him from getting the rank of Master. Confusing is the word to summarise 75342 Republic Fighter Tank. The minifigure selection is superb, particularly for the exclusive Mace Windu and his colourful Clone Troopers. Selecting these non-canonical Clone Troopers, among numerous potentially more prominent options, is surprising though. Even so, I do love the purple! Underestimating Badassery: Mace severely underestimated the level of skill that would be needed to take down Palpatine, as two of the masters die near instantly, and Kit Fisto dies soon after. While he was enough to match Palpatine, the others were clearly outclassed in every way. This set comes with the legendary Jedi Master and his purple lightsaber to boot. He is a mighty warrior that very few can withstand and could probably do a hefty bit of damage on his own without the aid of his Clone buddies.

The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures These minifigures also wear straps across their armour, further corresponding with the action figures. Each trooper includes a blaster rifle and the Clone Trooper heads under their helmets are identical, naturally. While these minifigures are well-executed, I would have preferred many other legions, or even plain Phase II Clone Troopers instead. Regardless, I have no issue with LEGO producing Legends sets or minifigures. In fact, there are myriad subjects I would love to see, notably including the Ebon Hawk to accompany the upcoming Knights of the Old Republic remake.

No-Nonsense Nemesis: Mace doesn't bother with fancy moves or drawing out fights, he aims to disarm and kill his opponent as fast and efficiently as possible. Except when it matters most...

Quite some of the fans that are complaining about the figs in this set are the exact same ones who have been asking for more clone unit minifigures? LEGO has absolutely delivered, and I think even though the tank looks overly disappointing, the minifigures are great.In The Clone Wars, Anakin questions why he doesn't go after Boba Fett and arrest him, citing the young boy caused a lot of destruction to kill Mace. The older Jedi responds that he is in a war, and as such, going after Boba would be pointless.

Good Is Not Soft: Mace is a virtually unstoppable force in combat and willing to break the Jedi Code if he feels it will serve the greater good.Well-Intentioned Extremist: Mace arguably becomes one over the course of the Clone Wars. His goal is a very noble one; to end the war and save the Republic and the Jedi from oppression and/destruction, but he becomes increasingly willing to do morally questionable things, such as death faking, secret-keeping, assassination, and even execution, in the name of the greater good. I would love to see Ponds in minifig form, but I doubt that would ever happen since he was only in two Clone Wars arcs excluding the Windu assassination. Also random fun fact, we actually have the Lightning Squadron in minifig form!" Two standard Battle Droids complete the minifigure selection. These skeletal figures are very common, but provide reasonable play value. While few alterations have been introduced since Battle Droids arrived in 1999, the figures remain immediately recognisable. Even though newer designs could absolutely prove interesting, they would not be my priority. The distinct role of the ARF Clone Troopers can be better understood by looking at their Recon Force stance. While primarily a ranged unit with particularly high accuracy, ARF Troopers can competently engage in melee when pressed. Their Combat Tree emphasizes tactical options over pure damage output but can still deliver punishing shots, also gaining early access to inflicting the Pin and Shove conditions, and the choice of Exposing or Disarming the target. It makes sense he wants to stay at range, but he isn’t too shabby in Combat. The tree doesn’t have too many branches, but the ones he has are quite versatile. You can not only deal extra damage, but reposition, shove, disarm, or even pin. ARF Clone Troopers Rules

As the Clone Wars drew to an end, his admiration for Palpatine diminished. And then Anakin revealed that Palpatine was Darth Sidious, the Sith Master that had orchestrated the entire conflict. Making a grand, slow, and dramatic move to kill Palpatine rather than a swift action while his lightsaber is literally inches from his face gives Anakin the opportunity to intervene, which directly leads to his death and indirectly causes the deaths of thousands of Jedi. Don’t miss this exciting rules preview for Shatterpoint for the Jedi Councils’ own Jedi Master, Mace Windu!I am disappointed, not by how bad this set might look on first glance, but by the people who are complaining about everything, even the minifigure selection, which might I add is superb in my opinion for 2022. Putting in 4 actual minifigures alongside 2 battle droids? LEGO could've took the cheap way out and have a similar selection as the 2017 tank: Mace Windu, one 187th trooper and 2 battle droids. Destination Defenestration: In Revenge of the Sith, he goes out spectacularly after being blasted out a window by Darth Sidious' Force lightning. Alongside both of those key characters, you also have two Night Sisters. One is armed with a ranged weapon whilst the other is intent on getting up close and personal. These Dathomir natives will cause quite a problem for any Jedi or Sith that decide to get in their way. An awesome set of miniatures that bring more of the Clone Wars-era characters to life.
