Hey guys, I’ve been busy today making the site more organized so you can find everything easier. I added the Lego Themes section and a convenient link to Lego Store and Pick a Brick site. Aren’t I sweet? 
After doing those posts on the new Lego Star Wars Clone Wars sets I have really been in a Star Warsy kinda mood. And I found some great Lego Star Wars mini movies on the lego.com site.
Watch the Lego Star Wars mini movies here! They are really quite funny. And some of them use stop motion animation using real minifigs and have a home made, youtube vid feel to them. The others are much more refined 3D CGI like in the Lego TV commercials.

I also added a new Lego Poll. I am thinking about adding more info about minifig customization. What do you think?

This ship reminds me a little of Anakin’s modified starfighter with the white and blue stripes.
I always like the look of this ship. It’s clearly a variation of the classic x-wing design but it has a real organic feel to it. The actual ship is bigger than it may look. It has a 20″ (50.8cm) wingspan and it 7″ (17.78cm) tall.
There are three cockpits and a droid bay so you get four minifigs. It comes with Kit Fisto (I’m sure you know him) two clones including Captain Jag and the astromech droid R4-P44.
This set is actually a tweak of a similar set that came out in 2005. That older set was part of the Revenge of the Sith line, set# 7259.
I liked Grievous in the movies okay but I think I like him even more after seeing the Clone Wars series. The set 8095 General Grievous’ Starfighter is a great looking ship. The engines have maintenance compartments that open up. It also has an opening cockpit, retractable landing gear and a flick firing missle.
Here he is weilding multiple lightsabers.
You also get two more minifigs: the Jedi Nahdar Vebb and Grevious’ repair droid EV-A4-D. They can all have tea and hang out together on the chair and lightsaber rack included. Interesting that they included furniture like this in the set. Dunno why exactly, but it’s neat I guess.
The plus side about this set is that it comes with 5 minifigs including Bane and has a trigger fire hidden missile that shoots from the headlight! There is a compartment that opens up and additional seating for up to 6 minifigs. It’s also a pretty big ship more than 10” (25.4cm) long.
As mentioned above there are 5 minifigs: Cad Bane, Shahan Alama, Elite Assassin Droid, a Senate Commando and a Senate Commando Captain. I really like the design and blue coloring of these commandos. It would be cool to build and army of them.
