Appears to be a TIE phantom? Is the Tracker 1 some prison variant of the phantom? Very sorry if this is old news, did my best in a forum search

edit: also, as per box art it seems to be Scarif ish in the time line

I don't know, I haven't seen Freemakers Season 2. I saw it in the latest LEGO catalog as well. I do know that Freemakers isn't canon anyway, and there's already plenty of Freemakers stuff that doesn't exist in this game that they'd do first. So odds are, it's completely irrelevant to X-Wing. Too bad. It looks really cool!

Lego clearly used the TIE Phantom as inspiration for this, seeing as Phantoms are no longer canon.

When I get one I will refer to it as a TIE Phantom.

Phantoms not canon? Rebel Assault II was epic, ahead of its time.

CANON? ... I WILL MAKE THEM CANON.

is Jyn Orso some prison variant of Jan Ors?

It's not a Tie Phantom, but Tracker 1 would be a cool unique title name for a Tie Phantom... to throw the Freemaker show a little nod.

They did something similar with the E-Wing on a previous LEGO Star Wars show, can't remember exactly what it's called, but I own it >_>

Jek-14's Stealth Starfighter

To be honest, I don't mind this. Lego Star Wars, whilst unapologetically a bit silly, is very good fun (the Padawan Menace and The Empire Strikes Out are hilarious), and I see no reason not to throw them into X-wing. Okay, it's legends and not exactly official, but neither is (or was) the TIE aggressor. Lego got permission to create the things in the first place, after all.

Besides which, it's an excuse to give the E-wing something (and ideally in a way that doesn't just hand Corran Horn the keys to the city). If I remember the kit right, it makes the E-wing's "top gun" into a traversing turret - so maybe reducing the primary value in favour of a turret, or giving a limited ability to fire out of arc? Either way, making it something which favours sticking in a continuous, close range brawl makes it bad for shoot-and-scoot corran and therefore good for everyone else.

Making Tracker 1 a title for a phantom might be interesting, and having M-OC as a pilot (or crew) might be nice. He's all about customising himself, so suggests a Vizago/Azmordigen like ability to chop and change cards mid-game (being able to take multiple modifications and swap modification cards around as an action might be quite cool)

How much of season 2 Freemakers is out? I worked on the show but off course can't discuss anything not shown yet. But I agree, M-Oc as a Phantom pilot would be awesome. Something with adapting to your preys ability. Maybe like Kallus, he chooses a ship, and either can choose from different perks? Also I think it would be cool to see the Freemaker hip get the non LEGO treatment and put in the game. A scavenger ship that can drop multible debries fields and a Rebel large ship without a turret.

Just the trailer and descriptions.

The listed air date for "Trouble on Tibalt", his first appearance, is tomorrow, in fact.

But yes, it'd be nice to see the lego stuff. Star Scavenger and the Eclipse fighter are quite cool looking (although I'm pretty sure it does have a turret, doesn't it? you could always make it an auxiliary or mobile arc, though)

The Blazemaker/Blazemaker II is nice visually (if a bit Babylon 5 Sunhawk), and certainly the idea of a "magma cannon" with a sort of 40k gets hot esque "this is an amazing gun but may blow up when you pull the trigger" offers an interesting mechanic not currently in X-wing.

I love all the lego star wars stuff (the games too) - it doesn't take itself in the slightest bit seriously, and it's a joy to watch because of it.

I know what my next repaint will be!!! that does look awesome!!

i'm hoping to get to watch Freemakers with my boys soon.

True, technically the side turrets could be mobile firing arcs.

Well the lego tracker 1 version has a distinct sound much like a tie when flown around the living room. It even makes a cool exploding effect when my wife swatted it out of my hand when it made an attack run.
