Grand Admiral Thrawn makes his highly anticipated return with the newly revealed set 75385 Ahsoka Tano's Duel on Peridea. For any fans of the Ashoka show on Disney +, we are finally seeing the second wave of sets based on the show, and it's safe to say they don't disappoint!

The new 382-piece set feels like the perfect blend of play and display. The set gives a similar feel to the 75334 Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Vader set from the Kenobi show but with a much-improved minifigure lineup and a far better landscape for display.

With a brand new Ashoka, Ezra, Night Trooper, Morgan Elspeth and, of course, Thrawn. What more could you want? All the figures feel like they have the perfect amount of detail.

Grand Admiral Thrawn finally gets the dual leg print he deserves alongside an updated badge with the correct colours for his position on his torso. Comparing Thrawn to his previous iteration. Thrawn also gets slightly different coloured blue skin and black hair, being more accurate for his live-action adaption.

Morgan Elsbeth comes updated with the Dathomirian markings on her face and minifigure legs replacing her skirt piece. She is wielding the Darksaber recoloured green to represent her sword from the show.

Ashoka and Ezra are new figures, with "Ashoka the White" and adult Ezra carrying their respective white and blue lightsabers. My largest gripe with this set, alongside other sets from this year, is the new pupil-less face prints. Ashoka can get away with no pupils as a non-human being, however Ezra doesn't look right without pupils.

I love the new Night Trooper with a great print and a zombie head under the helmet.

The build itself looks really good! The building perfectly represents the fight scene from the top of the monastery and includes a few play features, such as spinning floor pieces for duelling and a catapult for force-pushing the Night Trooper. The only part I'm not overly fond of here is the use of stickers. The sticker sheet is extensive for this set, which I personally feel takes away from the building experience. For the price Lego is asking for sets, the least they can do is print some of the pieces, if not all!

Overall, I'm extremely excited for this set to be released and can't wait to add it to my collection! For what you are getting with this set containing 5 new exclusive figures and a great build, £49.99 doesn't feel overpriced compared to other recent Lego Star Wars sets. A set I can highly recommend picking up for both older and younger fans of the Ashoka show.
