- The 2022 LEGO Star Wars 75324 Dark Trooper Attack (Battle Pack) is PERFECT! A new Luke Skywalker Minifigure based on The Season 2 Mandalorian finale is great along with 3 Dark Trooper Minifigures to recreate the scene. The build is a hallway from Moff Gideon's Imperial Light Cruiser and surprisingly makes a nice small display piece!

2 at least
Probably about 10
3 or 4. legit. Sweet army is comming.
I say 2 or 3
Idk
Who'd of thought Luke would try spinning as it's such a good trick. Like father like son
Lol!!
Well played
Star wars is so poetic
Lmao
Haha hilarious!
I would've liked to have this back when Rogue 1 came out based on that scene with Vader and the rebels
Agreed. Imo that scene is the best scene in all of Star Wars and it would be an amazing 30$ set or slightly more expensive 18+ set
@@asc3nded397 everyone knows that isn’t the best scene in Star Wars, the best one is obviously:

General Kenobi, You are a bold one!
@@ingamereaper9115 correct!!
Lego probably wouldn’t make it though sadly
Aged pretty well XD@@Navi42714
Love these "cut out" diorama looks. I really hope they do more like this, like a Phantom Menace themed one with Obi Wan and Qui Gon, or the Vader scene from Rouge One.
Yeah I love R”ou”ge One!

These are good for stop motion too!
It puts a huge smile on my face when you still manage to get sets early. Great review as always
It’s so much fun for me too man thank you :) thrill of the hunt.
@@MandRproductions how did you get it so early? if its not from lego and your not in the LAN.... seems pretty dodgey?
@@fordleg He has lego affiliate links I am pretty sure he gets them sent early for reviews
You can probably mod this set with some technic pin attachments to make a really long hallway if you buy multiple and mod them. I’m looking forward to seeing the moc builders do that
It’s me: moc builder Ryan. I’m gonna do it.
@@MandRproductions can you do a video about it if youre doing it ?
@@MandRproductions LET’S GOOOOOO 💪💪💪
Of course
@@MandRproductions that’s why I’m gonna buy multiple of these, so I can make a imperial base. (I been pretending my cats tower is a imperial base lol
Totally agree with you as being a the perfect Star Wars set in the 30$ bracket. We need more of these!
Conditioned consumer. You're telling me that a hallway and 4 minifigs is worth $30 no shot
@@MrSpikeyface That's 7.50$/per minifig with some highly useable parts for MOCs. Compared to other Lego themes, yes it's expensive but comparing against other Star Wars sets and value, it's a good one.
What’s better is that retailers usually mark down Star Wars sets after a couple months! The 501st battle pack has been priced down $24 for over a year now
@@starwarsunexplained4268 man, I've been hunting for the 501st pack in Australia and I cannot find it for under $80, even resale
@@dweep9546 Is it retired?
Fun fact: The Dark troopers' torsos are backwards on the box.
Epic fail. 🤣
And Luke’s lightsaber hand is upside down in every shot of the box that he’s holding his lightsaber
@@VstarQuaza thats how to fit him in the elevator
That luke minifig is so badass,such a unique cape and the darktroopers minifig is accurate and good imo,probably one of the best sets
How is the cape unique?
@@Oatjohnson do you know why there is no wall on the left?
I’m glad they’re using these “new” capes more frequently. The old ones suck if they’re bent overtime
@@Oatjohnson I don’t think playset means missing wall
@@Oatjohnsononly the mushroom cap of bobas roof (which is seen from the outside) is missing. The point of the ceiling in that set is to be seen from the inside. A wall is missing in this set
I have been through my dark LEGO age, I haven't bought a set in a year now and I'm slowly coming back to see this great set.
@Big Boi how darker can you get?
@@KingRogue my dark age was from 2018 till 2021 lmao I didn’t buy legos for awhile but Then last year I bought a bunch of figures I needed and now I’m getting back into sets the only reason it was for that long is because it wasn’t till 2021 where Lego came back hard had to pick up the 501st battle pack anikans Jedi star fighter, darth maul vs ahsoka the new x wing the mandalorian ship from clone wars, the new imperial shuttle and now this set legos been doing really good recently
They should make a set like this based on Vader's hallway scene in Rogue One
I think if they start doing sets like this more often it would be really cool. (I can't actually think what else they would do)
I hope someone mods this to make into the hallway scene from Rogue One/A New Hope
@@CanadaBricks I would want it for the mini figs
@@wilbur3926 how about Luke vs gamorian guards at Jaba's palace. I know he doesn't fight them but a good scen with Luke' two gamorians and Bibfortuna.
@@TheOmegazerox what about Obi-Wan and Qui Gon Vs battle droids from the trade federation ship in ep.1
If you look at the dark trooper picture again, you’ll see that the side rows are just made of 2 troopers standing far apart, making the total 20 dark troopers, so 7 of this set.
There are 40 total in the platoon.
@@B0ssBH fun fact that’s how large an Imperial Platoon is. An At-At can hold a full platoon of 40 as well.
@@jaworski105 oh that’s cool, I’ll remember that
I feel like this year MandR will restore some of his faith in the LEGO company. Honestly if the rumors hold up, this year will have better sets than the past 3 years combined (disregarding UCS)
Ya Luke landspeeder Ucs lol
It would be LEGO restoring MandR's faith.
Nice to see him giving Lego credit for a great set here.
@@TM-ii2zu ya this set is great. And it sounds like we might get a kimino set for $30 which would be awesome. Atte maybe, would be the best this year
yeah, the 4+ AT-ST is MILES better than the 2019 AT-AT. Period.

*Dark Empire 1 & 2 series comics. Luke goes to the dark side not once, but twice. It is legends now. Still good.
I prefer these spongy capes.. I hate the paper feeling ones
Fr the sound they make is just awful
for me its the opposite. The spongy looks thick under the head almost like they wear scarfs. I much preffer the paper ones.
@@JK-mn6tk right. Like nails on a chalkboard. Makes me want to lotion my ear drums🤣
@@kodo0820 I would happily trade u 1 for 1. As many as u have to trade😂
Dooe this one have paper or spongy
I love how displayable this set is!
That's all it's for 😂
It’s rare I buy two versions of a set, but I’ll definitely by two, maybe three eventually, of this. It’s one of the best sets of the last few years imo
I love that force pull/push feature way too much than I should. Even more than the Luke jumping feature in the Death Star Duel set.
It reminds me of the old sets that came out around 2000, like the sets Final Duel 1 and 2. This set is a bit more ellaborated, but it still has a very simple design.
This set is amazing from one of the best Star Wars scenes ever
honestly you could probably buy a few of these to have more dark troopers and you can just remove the doors and connect the sets to make a longer hallway
I knew it's gonna be good but it's better than I thought, actually a decent display set. Gonna struggle to find room for it on my 'mandalorian shelf collection' but I think I can manage
Definitely worth it for the Luke scene!
@@CojaGamez I have a bunch of negative criticism for that scene (specifically with the setup- it's too poor for something that is a season finale and the final resolution to the conflict) so the scene didn't impress me, but it's a great set regardless. I actually gave mine away when drunk but I rebought it recently
@@miqvPL Oh fair enough. I personally love the scene but that might be because I find it amazing to see Luke in his prime instead of how he was shown in TLJ
@@CojaGamez oh thats definitely something pretty much everyone wanted to see after an atrocity that was TLJ. My only problem is with the setup, I'll share the details if you want to read them:
the justification for Luke's appearance in the show is sadly "because the Force", basically he's a deus ex machina. Lets go over the events
- Grogu sits on the stone. He either establishes a connection with Luke through the force or he sends a beacon to Luke.
- Grogu is taken by dark troopers to the cruiser. Cruiser immediately jumps into hyperspace. It's basically untraceable through normal means.
- our main characters get the coordinates for it from an imperial outpost then go there. Luke later appears there as well.
- we see Grogu being in a windowless prison, throwing stormtroopers around and then getting tired and handcuffed in what we can assume is force resistant material.
In order to justify Luke showing up we need to assume 2 kinda big things.
1. Luke didn't lose a force connection with Grogu when he was captured. It's hard to believe, since Vader definitely felt Luke through the force in episode 4 but later couldn't track him through Force over long distance, same between episodes 5 and 6.
If Luke did lose a connection we need to assume he was able to track Grogu through the force somehow- same arguments as before + if he used force visions (like he sensed Leia and Han in danger in episode 5) then what would the visions show? At best a planet that the cruiser orbits next to, if he saw what Grogu was seeing then it would be a metal cell without windows. So then Luke would have to recognize the planet based on a vision- we're stretching the probability of this assumption further and further. 'city in clouds' was a rather good indicator where his friends were, here we need to assume he learns something like that.
2. based on that Force connection or other tracking method he can navigate through hyperspace based on that force feeling. Only plausible when he can through the visions recognize the planet really.
These are things that could've been easily fixed with a couple of throw away lines or visual hints. Possible solutions:
- Moff Gideon saying something alike "now even he cannot track us"
- x-wing parked next to a planet where Mando went to get information from that darksaber obsessed mandalorian woman"
- someone in the bar there saying that he saw a jedi asking questions, other disregarding him as hallucinating drunk person.
Those wouldn't fix the scene completely but would at least be a respectable amount of effort to get that big emotional scene with at least some logical explanation for it.
Overall as a writer you DONT want to do scenes like that. You don't resolve a conflict with a character that was absent from the story until that moment. A finale is a moment for the protagonist to solve the situation, to show what he learned through the series, it's writing 101. Sadly writers for Mandalorian are terrible, even the overall good season 1 has bad but at least servicable writing.
I am excited to get this one, it's a great set for display and play so it's very well rounded
True ... unless you look at the pricetag
@@fabianp.9736 yeah I don’t know why people are saying this set is perfectly priced. For less than 200 pieces it’s not worth $30
@@fabianp.9736 The price is fine. 4 awesome figures and a very good build.
@@rodrign007 You do realize each figure adds a value of around 3 dollars, right?
166 pieces: 16$ + 4×3 = 28$, might as well round it up 29.99$
@@realCriminalLawyer price per piece is not good and a wall is missing. Can you explain why that is? No one is complaining about it or explaining it
As someone who doesn’t care for the mandalorian show as I’ve just never seen it, when I see the dark trooper figures I can’t help but think they could pass for fallout 3 brother hood of steel outcasts if you’re a Lego purist for mocs. It looks really good and that helmet mold is top notch. Good review as always MNR.
They remind me of a futuristic swat team from some cyberpunk themed universe
2022 is looking good for lego Star Wars
I feel like the stickers and bricks are great for clone mocs
I really do like the design of this set. I feel like buying a few of these to do a moc of a long hallway, like the Maul scene from the clone wars, or any of the many other hallways from the clone wars would be cool. However, I don’t think that this is a set that I would buy.
I didn’t even think of that! You could TOTALLY make a nice hallway by combing the walls and floors of a few of them!
Such an amazing set, gonna get a few and make a hallway
Lego Star Wars is really ramping up its game with stuff like this set AND the new rumours of a Cad Bane set coming in august, alongside an at-te.
I wanna get at least 4 of this set. 2 I'll use to complete the hallway properly on either side, and then the other two I'll use to make a MOC of Din Djarin vs Moff Gideon from the same episode since the hallway does look similar enough to work with for that scene.
Maybe I missed it somewhere but I don’t remember anyone asking
@@brandonnn9543 I missed the part where that's my problem.
@@alixc7575 that doesn’t make sense idiot
@@brandonnn9543 your comment doesn't make sense either, a comment section is there for people to express themselves, it doesn't matter if anyone asks
@@motmot8879 as you can clearly see I expressed myself
Great set with lots of playability, and that hallway can be used for a lot of things! Will probably only pick up one though
It’s gonna be really nice having Darktroopers stranding next to deathtroopers in my Lego Star Wars original trilogy era cinematic colleciton
I honestly really like the hallway, I might pick up a few
I don't think you mentioned it, but there is an error in the box art, the Dark Trooper torsos are all on backwards which lead me to originally believe that these were new prints
I think luke is supposed to force pull the dark trooper towards him and then use the spin feature to cut the trooper, like he did in the show. But of course, force push makes sense, too.
My brother got it for me for Christmas and gave it to me on Boxing Day. It's a fine playset and I like the minifigures of Luke Skywalker and the Dark Troopers the most.
Perfect for MOC scenes, especially if you buy multiple. A longer, wider hallway
Why Hello!
So, I was wondering if it's really impossible for Luke to hold the lightsaber while opening the elevator and I DID find two ways! The first one is not the best and puts some stress, but the other one is the best in my opinion:
1) First option would be to tilt the lightsaber so the peak of the saber enters the small hole on that dark gray round piece. Keep in mind that the hole where the saber needs to enter needs to be the one opposite to the position of the hand in which Luke holds the lightsaber. For example, if Luke is holding the saber in the right hand, the peak of the saber should enter the left hole. The problem with this is that it doesn't perfectly stay within the elevator and a bit of it it's outside and it can cause some stress on the pieces while pressing against the wall.
2) This is the best option: Just rotate Luke's hand to 180 degrees. It was first in the elevator really well. I know, I know. Everyone hates putting the sabers like that, but for play, it's your only option. Sorry!
I partly credit discovering your channel for my reinvigorated interest in Lego Star Wars. Brought out some of my old sets (sadly don’t have all of them anymore) and put them on display.
💙 that’s awesome!
Amazingly detailed and functional set for such a small price!
That white build on the right (from the front) is a very iconic VENT.
I thought before I saw this that the white spots on the troopers were really high-placed waist-capes!
I definitely agree that the hood pice looks a little off but I think it also looks kinda closer to the show cause of how much the hood was draped over his head in that episode
The amount of multi builds from the pieces WILL BE LEGENDARY
8:20 I think that mechanism is actually for pulling the dark trooper so luke and slash it
When this goes down to 24ish $ it will be fairly priced. Minis are great but shouldn't add to the cost. That said, I do like this set a lot, despite the stickers (which are cool but ofc print would be muuuch better, maybe a bit less panels but I digress). Might actually pick up a couple even for the build alone, seems very good for MOCs.
I looked on wookiepedia moff gidions cruiser had a garrison of 40 dark troopers. So that’s 13 of these sets and the one from the light cruiser..
3:55
Me having flashbacks and raging: *JUST ONE M&MPRIDUCTIONS JUST ONE!!*
Mandr you should do a video of combining the set with the proper amount of Dark troopers from the scene!
I actually don't even care about the minifigures. I just want a bunch of the set builds to make some awesome imperial corridors
It’s hard to be mad at anything about this set. Very cool. I think it’s better than the mandalorian forge cause it’s easier to display (less space and not as floppy) and u get a little army building potential
Are you trying to be mad about it?
@@gregr3720 not at all I’m just saying there isn’t much for ppl to get upset about
Im so happy that Luke's Jedi Tunic from ROTJ/Mandalorian got a redesign. There hasn't been one since like 2013. Every other ROTJ Luke released has been the second outfit he wears in ROTJ.
I really like that, if you buy more sets, you end up getting not just more Dark Troopers, but also more hallway
Everyone: Buying this for the figs
Me: Buying it for the box art 🔥
Cheap, but displayable, my type of set for sure
It's not cheap. Those are quality LEGO bricks.
@@gregr3720 yeah I was about to say:
Cheap?
I’ve been waiting so long for a modern Luke with black Jedi robes. His RotJ jacket is cool, but the robes look so good
Did you know that in the Star Wars comics the dark troopers are clones that were a lot like general greivous they were hacked and smashed to make a battalion of darktroopers was amazing this makes sense because the clone troopers were more accurate then the stormtroopers
Those would be the phase zero dark troopers.
Phase 1 were droids.
Phase 2 and 3 were both autonomous and wearable as exo-suits.
30 bucks? This is a robbery, this’ll be 40 in Canadian dollars and that’s just absurd
I saw this set in a Meijer a few days ago. You know how upset i am that I didn’t realize the set wasn’t officially released and I could’ve gotten the set early!
YOU CAN SIT LUKE DOWN WITH HIS LIGHTSABER
Luke: Kills all the Darktroopers effortlessly
Anakin/Darth Vader: That's my boy!
Making all the grey pieces white and replacing the troopers with rebels can make a perfect Rogue one set for the Vader hallway scene.
Those figs look awesome
No doubt, really cool set. Would love to display it. Just a few weeks till I can purchase it! Most likely will purchase 3 like you mentioned. Finally also a new Luke
Lego creating Mandalorian sets: Elevator lights!
Lego creating any prequel set: The pilot was yellow, right?
Someone pointed it before me. And I can't believe it. Lego released this set with torso of dark trooper flipped back on front of the box!
Clicked this so fast 🔥 May possibly be one of the best sets of the year, such a great set and moment in Star Wars, can't wait to buy!
Totally agree, but wait for the summer wave👀
@@starwarsbrick9100 dude if the rumours are true... one of the best waves ever imo
@@TieTheLegoGuy hell yeah DUDE!!!!
Aaaah come on we wanted to see Jabbas Palace
Im glad we have a less expensive way of getting the dark troopers
Here's my suggestion for you you get three of those black troopers and Luke if you buy another set you'll have six of those black troopers and if you don't want to use the other Luke just put the other look to the side then you got more to build
In australia, it costs around $40-35, Target sells them for 39, My bday was coming up in 2-3 weeks, and before that, there was a 20% discount on all lego sets, and btw, i really really wanted this set so bad, so I was lucky enough to get it for cheap resulting in only $31.
Ngl I also like the force push feature because you could also make the trooper come to luke and into his lightsaber.
This set looks awesome. Probably gonna buy 2 of them
Can’t wait to combine 2 of these
Amazing review, love your sense of humor and the way you review things.
Nice to get a proper rotj luke with the black on black outfit from the beginning of the film.
with 11 of these sets, youd have an accurate amount of dark troopers and with all those pieces, you could create a really cool diorama
Want to get it for everything, want to get two for an elevator type design
Gonna amass myself a Dark Trooper army until my face becomes dark.
i genuinely love this set
Love these scene vignette builds. Keep ‘‘em coming 🔥
My Favorites it's Lego Star wars Dark Trooper Attack set
I just noticed Lego messed up the dark trooper torsos on the box art. Since The "shoulder pads" of the dark trooper front print has the 4 red dots it would make sence that the under print would match with the 4 red dots in the front . The box art flipped the torso. I guess Lego just retooled it or something or it was a mistake on the art that Lego didn't notice. But to me the 4 red dots would be in the front Since the dark trooper has the 4 red dots in the front.
Really like this as a display set. Very pleasantly surprised how nice it is.
Tbh if you by multiple of the set you can actually connect all the rooms with some technique bricks and pins to 'modularize' it sorta speak. For some of them you'll have to invert the building process which could be tricky, but it can prove to be a cool experiment.
This is such a good set idea from lego, so many other hallways they could make just like the lightsaber duel $20 sets
I would really want to expand this set
This thing is actually really dope. Want more dioramas like this.
This is like the first set he’s reviewed that he didn’t bash on it at least once
I not prepared to invest a lot into lego sets at the moment so I love when 20-30 dollar sets come out. Very excited to pick this one up
If you buy a lot of those to complete the number 32. you can use the elevators as loading places for the dark troopers.
The head of the dark trooper are gonna be good for people who want a Swat team figure or maybe make a purist Crysis figure
Thanks to Ryan we now have a good and clear review
This is the first Time I'm seeing LEGO Use Fan Made Pieces in actual sets, Cause I had Fan Made Gree, Gregor and A Special Forces? Green Clone Phase I that have armor similar to it
This is surprising
This set gives a good potential hallway scene such Vader with Rebel Troopers, Maul with Clone Troopers, and Kenobi/Quin Gon with Battle Droid
I wish they made a whole new mould for the dark trooper like a super battle droid
Man I still have been unsuccessful to find the snowtrooper battle pack stores and you already have this one
I literally spoke this set into existence
Wow that's amazing dude nice set
