Lego Starwars

The LEGO Group has confirmed the existence of another upcoming LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy set in 75388 Jedi Bob’s Starfighter.

Long rumoured to be hitting shelves this August alongside the already-revealed 75389 The Dark Falcon and 75393 TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up, 75388 Jedi Bob’s Starfighter is mentioned in the product descriptions for both of those sets, which debuted on LEGO.com yesterday. It’s the first official confirmation that the fan-favourite original character is returning to the LEGO Star Wars line-up.

Jedi Bob first appeared in 2002’s 7163 Republic Gunship, and nearly two decades later was at the centre of a fan campaign for inclusion in the UCS Republic Gunship. The LEGO Star Wars team passed up that opportunity, but have now found a way to bring the anonymous Jedi back into the fold through the upcoming Disney+ animated special Rebuild the Galaxy.
