Earlier this year it was announced that six special edition LEGO Star Wars minifigures would be released to celebrate the theme’s birthday in 2024, with three characters revealed to date. So far we’ve seen Darth Malak, ARC Trooper Fives and Saw Gerrera appear in 25th anniversary sets, although a special Darth Maul minifigure in the updated LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary isn’t part of that line-up.
All we’ve had to go on so far have been silhouettes of the minifigures, but text above each character has been added with a cryptic clue as to their identity. The first reads ‘Game face on’, which suggests the character may well be Cal Kestis from the Star Wars Jedi video game series. Next is ‘Alderaan guesses,’ which would seem to point to a Young Leia minifigure on its way in 2024.
The final two mystery LEGO Star Wars 25th anniversary minifigures are labelled as ‘No. 9, it’s time,’ that could be a hint to the recently revealed first ever Nien Nunb minifigure (the character was described during the production of Return of the Jedi as ‘Number Nine’) and ‘Oh so cute,’ a potential reference to R2-KT, a character created to honour Katie Johnson, who tragically passed away from cancer in 2005.
