7956 ewok attackHere is a set that only deserves to be a battle pack for the set 8038 (The Battle of Endor).
Nothing brilliant, the new version speeder is ordinary and seen a hundred times, the tree / base is too small and badly dressed with its poor catapult and anemic foliage.
Minifigs are awful, definitely LEGO is having a hard time getting us out of Ewoks that don't look like chocolate bears. 
I know many collectors are fans of these little critters, but I still say their minifigure representation is way below what LEGO could have produced.
 
Another set which does not bring anything new and which serves as a pretext to provide three barely passable minifigs to undemanding collectors.

7957 dathomir speederWe will quickly forget this set, which apart from the minfigis of Savage Opress and Asajj Ventress does not deserve our attention.

Opinions are divided on the presence of stickers or screen-printed parts.

We would almost come to hope for stickers, to be able to use the parts for something else .....

This speeder is just ridiculous and shapeless, and one wonders what Anakin is doing there.

We will wait until LEGO the balance on the shop to get it, before they are withdrawn, undoubtedly under the effect of the shame of having produced such a bad set. 
LEGO is definitely resting on its laurels and showing a lack of creativity. In this set, the vehicle is only a pretext to accompany the minifigs.
For comparison, I put below a view of the vehicle as seen in the series, we are far from this catastrophic interpretation by LEGO .....

7959 geonosian starfighterIn short, not much to say about this set, the ship does not deserve our attention, the set 4478 (Geonosian Fighter) was doing largely as well if not better.
Even if overall, the design of the ship is respected, there is nothing really attractive, it lacks finishing elements to make it a credible product.
Side minifigs, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Commander Cody and the Geonosian are nice.
Here is an artwork of this ship, for you to judge ...

7961 darth mauls sith infiltratorThis third version of this ship is definitely still not the right one. The more we advance, the less we recognize this machine.

The and 7663 (Sith Infiltrator) was much more successful and respected the general shape of the machine. On this one we have a return to the classic parts for the wings, but the cockpit is oddly designed.

In short, we will pass on the machine, to feast on the minifigs delivered with.

Captain Panaka and Darth Maul are sublime, Qui Gon Jinn is ordinary but this new version remains consistent with the current range in its cartoon side.
Padme is a total failure, his face, his outfit and his hair are just a failure (looks like a minifig from the 90s).
