LEGO Star Wars 2012: the second wave revealed

It didn't take very long for the novelties of the second Star Wars wave of 2012 to be unveiled. Here are the images stamped CONFIDENTIAL and PRELIIMINARY of the new features to come with a list of minifigs (a priori, difficult to see on some visuals):

9496 Desert Skiff - Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, Boba Fett & Kithaba

9497 Republic Striker Starfighter - Satele Shan, Republic Trooper & T7-O1 Astromech Droid (Star Wars The Old Republic starship & characters)

9498 Saesee Tiin's Starfighter - Saesee Tiin, Astromech Droid R3- D5 & Even Piell

9499 Gungan Sub - Queen Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn & Jar Jar Binks

9500 Fury Class Interceptor - Darth Malgus & 2 x Sith Troopers (Star Wars The Old Republic starship & characters)

9509 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2012

9515 Malevolence - Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala would be in this set (but we can clearly see Ahsoka on the box), General Grievous, Count Dooku, Battle Droid Commander & Battle Droid

9516 Jabba's Palace - Jabba, Salacious Crumb, Bib Fortuna, Gamorrean Guard, Oola, Han Solo, Princess Leia in Boushh outfit, Chewbacca & B'omarr Monk

Not enough to roll on the floor for now, but I remain positive: The preliminary visuals of the Star Wars range rarely pay homage to the final appearance of the sets concerned.

Once again, LEGO favors minifigs, it's obvious. the rest is there to fill the box ... Special mention for Jabba's Palace, which can hardly accommodate Jabba ....
