There’s still hope for the one minifigure missing from LEGO Star Wars Duel of Peridea

The minifigures steal the show in LEGO Star Wars 75385 Ahsoka Tano’s Duel on Peridea, even with one character conspicuously absent – but there’s still hope.

75385 Ahsoka Tano’s Duel on Peridea is all about the minifigures, as noted in our review, bringing some truly inspired minifigures of Ahsoka Tano, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Morgan Elsbeth, Ezra Bridger and a Night Trooper. No detail has seemingly been spared, from the recoloured Darksaber blade used for Elsbeth’s Blade of Talzin to the authentic printing on legs, arms, and faces of each and every one.

While the Night Trooper is undoubtedly a shining example of LEGO Star Wars creativity, its inclusion has left some fans who put too much faith in early rumours about the set disappointed. It was initially thought that 75385 Ahsoka Tano’s Duel on Peridea would include a minifigure of Captain Enoch, bringing the character into the LEGO Star Wars theme for the very first time. However, what we actually got was an unnamed Night Trooper, not the golden-masked captain that some fans are clamouring for.

First things first, this is a good reminder of why you should always take LEGO rumours with a pinch of salt. You never truly know what’s going to be included in a set until it’s officially revealed and the Captain Enoch-flavoured disappointment here is exactly why.

Secondly, however, it’s worth noting that we likely haven’t seen the end of Enoch in Disney’s Ahsoka – and that means there’s still time for him to make an appearance in LEGO Star Wars too. Spoilers ahead for season one of Ahsoka, if you haven’t yet watched it.

Thrawn’s apparent righthand man has journeyed with him on his Chimaera to the known galaxy of Star Wars. It seems highly unlikely that Thrawn’s only purpose was to journey back to the galaxy he has spent years learning about and infiltrating, without any plans to cause some chaos that will serve as the plot for one or more Star Wars titles. And, if we haven’t seen the last of Thrawn, we probably haven’t seen the last of Captain Enoch either.

From a purely business perspective, it makes sense for LEGO Star Wars to withhold certain characters for later sets based on a TV show. 75385 Ahsoka Tano’s Duel on Peridea already gave us an updated Thrawn minifigure, the first one since 2017. With the second season of Ahsoka confirmed (but no release window just yet), it could well be that the LEGO Star Wars team is saving up characters like Enoch to make their debut in future waves, perhaps once the character starts to play a more central role in the plot.

Of course, that’s all speculation for now but, suffice to say, don’t wave a total goodbye to hopes of a Captain Enoch minifigure and his undoubtedly gleaming helmet print just yet.
