I really think that calling him Darth Binks makes more sense since Darth is a title.

[@insertclevernamehere1186]

Then again, the name after "Darth" usually isn't their last name. Shiev Palpatine is Darth Sidious, Count Dooku is Lord Tyrannus, Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader (We never really learn if "Maul" was Maul's original name). As seen with Anakin's turn, it seems to be a title that the master bestows upon the apprentice, so unless we see his master in the special, I will be referring to him as "Darth Onhandig" ("Clumsy" in Dutch).

Lego has the license to make a Lego CMF. Lego's figures fall under the category of buildable figurines, which George Lucas said himself were excluded from the Hasbro exclusivity deal, as they were below 2 inches and were, ya know, buildable. Lego just doesn't want to make a CMF because they realize people will spend 650 dollars for a 4 pieces of plastic that looks like Captain Rex.

[@Autisticguywithacamera]

9:15 they actually had things like this in-canon. They called them "Uglies" and most of them were built by space pirates conscripted into the Empire after the battle of Endor, consisting of cobbled-together ships like those 2, the X-TIE and TIE-X, as well as many others.

Okay, I know I'm a minotiry, but I'll be buying this set for falcon. And minifigs. But I love this falcon version.
I just don't vibe with regular one, I feel like, together with Xwing and Tie Fighter, they're bland, overused and I've seen too many of them. And although I can forgive that for the two starfighters, since they are meant to be mass-able in universe, Falcon is pretty unique ship, as we don't see many of them really. So evil version of it with new colourscheme is appreciated and looks nice

I want White Vader, I recently acquired some of the Mexico Factory alternative coloured ones in Red and Green. With this its more worthwhile to buy the set because of the number of Unique figures to it, normally I'd just buy the figures on bricklink and take the hit but... I have never owned any of the previous Falcon sets as I was able to get the figures elswhere in cheaper sets, this one is the first one to make me go... yeah, I need that!
