Design Manager 的访谈: The Pirate Tank is relatively new to the Star Wars galaxy. Do you find it easier designing a LEGO toy around a ship that is less familiar to fans than say, an X-wing?
What makes design easy or difficult is more the general shape of the vehicle. But of course with the X-wing the fans know exactly how it looks, therefore it had to be accurate!
Were there any specific challenges in designing this particular vehicle?
The biggest challenge was that as the vehicle was brand new in the Star Wars universe, we did not have much reference in the beginning. But we got it in time, so we were able to make an accurate model.
What play features were added to this vehicle that we perhaps didnt see in the Clone Wars episode?
The idea of the pop-up pirate function was one we invented ourselves. We just thought that it could be cool.
看来这个是卖点。
Since the Clone Wars has brought a whole fleet of new vehicles to the Star Wars galaxy, do you have a personal favorite youd like to see get made in LEGO?
I do not have a specific favorite. I like the Jedi starfighters, new Y-wings, Star-Destroyers, and Dookus Solar Sailor. I think there are a LOT of cool vehicles in Clone Wars!
