LEGO Star Wars 75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser has been years in the making, so fans have a lot to say.

Celebrating 20 years since The Clone Wars, 75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser capitalises on the nostalgia that many adult Star Wars fans now have, having grown up watching the Clone Wars and the prequel plots play out on screen. The inclusion of Captain Rex highlights that the LEGO Group knows full well how to tug on those throwback heartstrings – and fan reactions to the set suggest it’s working.

Plus, with an almighty episode of Ahsoka premiering on Disney+ today as well, it’s definitely a good time to be a Star Wars fan (in-image spoilers for Ahsoka episode 5 ahead).

What a day & what a time to be alive !

Of course, it can’t all be rosy. Some LEGO Star Wars fans have noted there are areas for improvement. Namely, the lack of hangars and the eye-watering price (which is still lower than other UCS sets in the past, we might add).

If the hangar doors had opened, this would have been an easy purchase

How did y’all not include the second most iconic part of the Venator? Like, besides the duel bridges, the opening central hangar is absolutely key to a Venator set, especially one striving for accuracy.
