Do you guys remember the backwards megaphone blasters?
Apollo1641 with the transparent red stud
ky Yeah! :-)
Apollo1641 I love those, my Lego Star Wars II character had the blue one. Also, the set Droid Escape has a Jawa with a blue megaphone blaster, that's a recent one.
I memeber
Yup
My childhood dream, I always wanted to find out how these sets were made, thank you for uploading this!
+AnimeMafiaReviews Thanks for watching!
p
You have the BEST LEGO CHANNEL Beyond The Brick! Keep making good content!
AnimeMafiaReviews i
Amen!
“So what's the required qualification for becoming a lego star wars creator?“
- hipster glasses and a long beard
+HexenZorn lalala Yes.
Neutron i don’t get it
Because that's what both of them were wearing.
@@turbomega3907 Kinda.... actually
You forgot one question for the designers: why do Thrawn has non-grand admiral rank sign?
Semion Shrimp I've been wondering this too. It wasn't just Lego though, Hasbro also messed up the Thrawn figures badges. I think early concept art for Rebels had Thrawn as a lower rank.
Semion Shrimp Lego often is only given concept art or "final" pre-production artwork for its figures and ships, which occasionally later gets changed in final production, but it's too late for Lego to make the change because they've already had molds made and parts produced in the design they were given. Recent examples are the incorrect hair piece for Grand Moff Tarkin in the Rebels cartoon, and the color and play functionality (i.e., non-foldable) wings of Kyle Ren's shuttle.
Darth Cobay You are correct. Thrawn's rank was originally different.
Oh, ok. Thanks for explonation. Yeah of couse it's pretty difficult to understand and realize( if i had a work in communications department) all communications between сompanies, that are responsible for the production of toys by star wars universe because they are really big btw.
Lucas Arts, Disney, Hasbro, Lego Company etc.
WE NEED LEGO GEONOSIS ARENA
Modify the collesium
Hi
Can you please release the UT-AT I know you have it just release it and include Galactic Marines
And produce a 501st Battle Pack
CT-5597 Jesse I don't think the have the UT-AT.
Ryan World War II History Buff Guy 582 they do have one made, in the image of the inside of like the main lobby on the shelf theres a dope looking one sitting right there
L1F3BrickS Studios Ok. It will probably be a while. I hope they do the Yavin 4 base. I wish they would bring some classic sets back. My oldest is the Speeder bike from 2002 I think
L1F3BrickS Studios I love your vids
*CT-5579*
Are you asking LEGO to release it? I highly doubt they would be looking here for suggesitons on sets
It's so great to hear from the designers views of the line.
#remembertheclones
0/66 REMEMBER
What lego star wars needs at the moment is more creatures and building. how about the geonosian arena or a building from coruscant? What I really want from Lego is a CCBS- boba fett or -prequel jedi without clone wars armor.
petranaki arena 4 sure
11:55 if the new models have to be better, then what happened to the recent MTT and the 'fun' stud blasters?
I think the designers were stupid on that one!
Everyone who works at Lego always seems so happy and friendly
I also have set ideas.
New TIE bomber
New Home One Mon Calamari Cruiser
New Tantive IV
New rebel base
Eddie Horner Mason new cloud city
@@jamiep0495 Spidey sense correct again!
501st battle pack
Nice ideas! But a 501. Battlepack would be epic
Eddie Horner Mason Tusken raider pack/ tusken raider lair 700 pieces at least
I don't get it why would they change the blasters 😭😭😭😭😭
Minecraftr156 yeah! the new blaster is crap!
Minecraftr156 those good old days
LegoLiam I like the new blasters
Even the kids that they are aimed at hate them.
Minecraftr156 The backwards megaphone with the red stud is clearly superior.
My biggest question for them is why stud shooter blasters there just annoying but you do everything else amazingly
Plz another tantive IV
YASSSSS
Lmao about the kylo rens shuttle😂
samee
UsernameGeri around 6:50 :)
I wasted my money on that set. Well, I wouldnt say wasted. It has cool stuff like kylo ren.
@@gopherguts2183 that set was still amazing, and I even had fun modding it to have opening wings. Super glad they gave it another go in 2019!
Designers, plz make Commander Cody phase 2 armor figure!
They did it
So if they think of well we haven't released this set in a long time and a lot of people want it! WHERES CLOUD CITY HUH????? SERIOUSLY THAT HAS ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC SCENE IN STARWARS AND THEY ONLY HAVE 1 SET OF IT!!!!!
legobdr COUGH i am COUGH your father COUGH
The Nirav Wtf
legobdr Considering the recent trends, I'd say that a remake of the battle wouldn't be far off. We did recently get Duel on Naboo and Darth Vader's Transformation after all for example.
It's coming this year wooohooo
legobdr well if it was a set it would cost 200 dollars
Jens is a legend, he’s been working with LEGO Star Wars for years
Those beards!
Viking heritage!
Does everyone who designs for Lego Star Wars range have a cool Jedi beard? Is it in their contract?
I didn’t have one....🤣🤣🤣
that close up thoo 0:06
Lego Star Wars is best lego
Danny Dicamillo ya
Danny Dicamillo true dat
Preach!!
Danny Dicamillo yess
I like how he completely skipped the clone.
😂
He does literally just skip right past it after deeply explaining Anakin and then going on to explain Bossk. Honestly though I don’t really mind as it’s interesting to know about Bossk’s head color changing and why they had it wrong originally, and then with Anakin it’s nice to have them address how gruesome he looks and how they decide to go about making it a minifig, but then again I’d have liked to see why they chose that Clone design specifically, as it wasn’t anything canon as far as I know. Maybe they just wanted to give us some Concept Art designs?
Reminds me of the LOTR vid they did like this
0:45 Oh, so you're the guy responsible for all those cursed stickers!
Excellent video guys, a really fascinating look at things behind the scenes. It's a crying shame that there isn't more interest.
These guys off the bat just look like mini figures
Awesome interview very interesting hearing from actual designers
I love this video!!
Is that a FO Stormtrooper Sergeant from TLJ by the Death Trooper minifigure?
CM4Sci Seems like it! It has the white pauldron.
New game:
Take a shot every time they say process.
Why did they do Grand Admiral Thrawn as an Admiral and NOT a GRAND Admiral even though they had TONS of reference to get it RIGHT. Also why did Lucas film let it through and not correct the design flaw!!!😡
They didn't have tons of reference for it. The show was going to have him just be an admiral until late in the process, too late apparently for them to change it. The Hasbro action figure initially had the same error.
Can you make toshi station and include some power converters
I have to work for Lego, since ive been young I knew it'd be my true calling and it yearn to learn more, I never accept that I've seen everything or that everything has been built before me.
they didn't start from scratch with the new death star
8:06 he said super super cool the Danish way...
Ask them about Bionicle.
IronNinja Mk1 why it came back then ended
Asking lego designers about bionicle would be as dangerous as asking a valve employee for half life 3.
*HAHAHAHAH **0:11** THAT GUY WAVES AND GETS IGNORED*
5:19 (thinks back to 75201) Hmmmm...
wow thanks for uploading this because I've always wanted to see how the sets are made
.best job ever
Where'd the white pauldron come from on the First Order Stormtrooper?
Jacob Smith It hasn't come out yet. It's in an episode 8 set.
Aa'ah if I'm correct we've gotten that same cape or a similar one in the 2012 I wanna say Droid escape pod with the sand troopers
Brickidalphia Fire Dept Yeah, I know, but I have seen the leaks for the Last Jedi sets and they have first order stormtroopers with those pauldrons.
I Have Darth Vader's Transformation Set
Darth Vader yeah its cheap so no one cares
Same
Great to have an insight to the designers :-)
As accurate at possible. Like the grand admiral Thrawn minifig?
“We first start by asking the community what they want, proceed to ignore that, and then purposefully print incorrect colorways.”
i have the rathtar escape and battle on scariff
Hi! Im from Denmark and would love to work for lego! I have always wanted that
You know they should Re-release some of the older sets like the R2-D2 Mindstorm set and the C-3PO set 8007. Cause as we know those 2 droids are the most popular ones and there like in almost all of the movies, shows, and games.
michael1234252 they are in all the movies
True but there are some of the less known Specials like the holiday special and the Ewok specials
I really am getting annoyed with Lego now, the stud shooters are getting ridiculously obvious. They're so annoying, honestly i am finding myself constantly having to find parts to replace studshooters with cannons or blasters. Take the SABRE tank for example. I had to replace those stud shooters, and i have three of those sets. The battle packs are the worst... How am i supposed to build an army if they don't have guns?
look up a youtube video for uses of the stud shooters
you can make cooler-looking rifles or spider droids with them at the least, just get a 1x1x1 brick with 4 holes on its sides and one on its top, then stick the stud shooters in there and you have a spider droid
woah man Wtf are you on about
Theres is no such thing as a brick with 5 holes in it, and you sure as hell can't make a spider droid out of it either. Face it, stud shooters suck and Lego's latest Star Wars sets haven't been very good. I hope they get better...
When I was playing Lego I just imagined myself Laser Bolts I never needed shooting elements
CC-1921 well lego was made for kids and guns are not family friendly
CC-1921 actually there is... think of the one stud cubic bricks, then imagine it with studs on all four sides... this brick exists and its used for versions of the droid staff speeder
Denmurk yeah!
The 'admission' that they knew the design for Kylo Ren's was fundamentally flawed when they saw the first trailer, ie. 10 months before the set went on sale, is telling. It begs the question; should they have withheld it, re-designed it and/or released it in the next wave? I get that product development take years and designs change but I would think 10 months is enough time to adapt given their considerable resources. If not, then serious questions need to be asked as to why, particularly when they are granted licensing for franchises that are producing material at an ever expanding rate. Have they learned from the "Kylo Ren's shuttle mistake"? I hope so. Because to me it stinks solely of a profit decision to limit production cost whilst disrespecting their loyal fans. Lets not forget that this was the most expensive set in the wave! How disappointed were kids when they realized their prized toy did not have the same wings as in the movie and was the wrong colour! Great reporting to get this inside info by the way...I'm sure Lego exec's would see it differently.
the star wars minifigs need to be more durable. my figs (mostly the prequel ones) get cracks in arms, torso and legs. chinese plastic may be the issue
legoman716 mine are fine, they have been since 2002 when i got an aotc set.
jamiedodgr69 lucky you! my anakin from set 9494, republic troopers (battlepack), assaj ventress (Anakin's custom jedi starfighter) are all broken. but my oldest from 2004 aren't. strange
legoman716 wow that must be bad. What part of them broke? I have broken 2 things but they are easily replaceable. I cracked Episode II Anakin's arm up from where the hand was because I took the hand in and out way too much pretending it was episode 3 Anakin (I didn't get him until 2014) but it is still possible to use. I also broke off part of a hoth rebel trooper's hand so I can't use that but I have loads of white hands. But my 2002 tusken is okay and all of my sets from after then.
jamiedodgr69 cracks from hip to "armpit", from hand connectionpoint to elbow and backside of the feet. And since these parts are protected by a license, it can be tricky to replace them via customer service. and the thing is that I never play woth my Lego, I only collect them and put it behind glass
legoman716 that must suck. My Lego rarely cracks/breaks.
I bet if I got a degree in architecture, and used real versions of Lego elements on a building I'd get hired
Jens Kronvold Frederiksen is the Steve Jobs of LEGO. Literally!
can you do lego nightwing i beg please review or something about nightwing
MARVEL AVENGERS tr8r nightwing isn't marvel
Papa Wells i know i didnt say je was
If anyone sees a new lego Last Jedi leak, please come back here and comment the link to its pics 😂
Just look on the LEGO leaks reddit
always wondered how they were designed
The guy wearing the red and gold shirt looks like PewDiePie
pretty cool nice video
Loved this
Still waiting for an episode 1 council chamber of anakin's arrival to corusaunt. it would include all the jedi members at that time which is what a lof of people would want.
and the clone tank
Fans complain about the Snowspeeder because it was last released 2003? WHY not release a NEW Imperial Star Destroyer? It was last released in 2002...
ur an empath because we got a star destroyer and a snowspeeder
Pls Cody, Mygeeto Troopers, Felucia Troopers, Wolffe, different battlepacks battlepacks blasters
Very interesting is cool
As someone who is interested in working with Lego this is interesting to me.
Luis E Morales Falcon my nearest Lego store about an hour away is hiring. Well lets hope they stay hiring for the next 5 years. I can then work for Lego
5:57 "spot on" IG-88 is black, not grey!
actually he is metallic gun dark grey chromium with infrared primary photoreceptors and tarnished crimson brown rust particles on his upper torso
All the sets lack interior. Fix please!
really cool video!
Not trying to be mean but everyone thinks it: studshooters suck. Go back to the ones that most closely resembled blasters , even if they don't look like actual Star Wars blasters. I remember when brick arms didn't exist so you could only get Lego guns thru Star Wars. Nobody needs to shoot studs. They'll get lost and they're useless.
I’m glad that the best designers are out there
U gotta love those custom figures
Which later LEGO will copy from
I know as well as everyone Yavin IV needs to happen!
can u do the ninjago line
Jens beard is badass
FABULOUS BEARDS :O
16:30 Is that from The First Order Star Destroyer set ?
Ender Wraith yep
i also have the vaders transformation
you see first order storm sergeant there
My name is Jakob to
Someone should tell them that there are more Star Wars movies besides episode 4
😂
Dude, where is my Exegol Throne Room!?!?
@@tam2237 if you want one just build it yourself.
Imagine being tasked with designing a 10k piece set with 3k stickers and 1k minifigs
"Ok sounds good!"
i think i'd love to work at lego :/, maybe one day :)
Where are the clone wars sets in 2021 lego
I believe LEGO actualy designs minimum evolution in existing versious of sets.
Like... see X-Wing. I'm sure they could make it look very nice, yet they release midicore designs...
I did not knew pewdiepie twin worked at lego
Alright...but who do I kill for making the 501st battle pack double the price?!?!
Ditch the freemaker series
yodibrodi ikr waste of lego creators. Instead of making this make better remakes.
cool good job have a good day everyone
13:50 is that guy going to be in a new b wing or something?
Shore Trooper Studios he was released in the recent 'Arrowhead' set from the 'Lego Star Wars Freemaker Adventures'. He's called Quarrie as a tribute to Ralph McQuarrie. Think the character was in Rebels as well
CODY !!!!!!!! WOLF !!!!!!!! BACARA , BLY , THORN !!!!
HLB GAME 501ST BATTLE PACK!!!!!!
OH YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS
HLB GAME clonearmycustoms!
NO !!!! A real figs !!!
These designers did a great job on the bounty hunter minifigs and the minifigs of the darth vader set, but the disney sets are just for little kids (not their fault, but still)
was also very disappointed about the clone gunner instead of commander bly...
i really want to work for lego that my dream job i recently got out of high school but i live in kentucky so its hard for me i have had woodshoop industrial maintenance and i play with legos alot
i did i graduated high school on may 19th xD
The overall quality and detail of Star Wars sets have gone downhill since 2015 and the prices just keep going up. They need to step up their game with Quality > Quantity and also release more prequel/Clone Wars sets.
EXACTLY, well said man.
How Lego Star Wars sets are designed
1) make a gray box
2) ?
3) profit
you say kids get to play with lego while you design them?
luckiest children in this world
that beautiful danish accent xD Its hard to be a dansker xD
4:00 Wrong build droids...
How embarrassing Yoda says.
(4:41) when you make a corny joke and no one else is laughing...
