What if LEGO Star Wars 75367 Venator lost its red stripe?

LEGO Star Wars 75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser‘s upcoming release has inspired a modification to remove its red stripe.

Many ships within the Star Wars universe are predominantly grey, especially in the era of the Empire. However, in the days of the republic, the Venator’s singular red stripe added a welcoming splash of colour to an otherwise monochromatic ship.

As the Republic transitioned to the Empire, it lost this Red Stripe and the triangular ships inspired the Imperial Star Destroyers. This later design of the Venator is now the subject of a pre-launch modification for the upcoming Ultimate Collector Series set.

Solid Brix Studios has switched the red out for familiar grey pieces. Changing the colours of the bridge can downgrade the Venator from a flagship to a more standard part of the fleet.

However, making the entirety of the model grey can represent the changing morals of what was once the Republic and how the ships were used to destroy Kamino in The Bad Batch, without their signature red stripe.

It’s a simple change and one that you can implement with the help of the official online store’s Pick a Brick or Bricks and Pieces services, as well as BrickLink. This change to the upcoming 75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser should make for a much different display than the standard version of the set when displayed next to 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer.

75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser launches on October 1 for LEGO Insiders and October 4 for everyone for £559.99 / $649.99 / €649.99. Prepare for release with our in-depth review available by clicking here.
