The new Star Wars Lego sets for May 4 are cool, but none beats this glorious little war criminal

A whole host of new Star Wars Lego sets have been unveiled ahead of May 4 (AKA Star Wars Day), and they range from new versions of old ships to helmet replicas that'll look very nice on your shelf, thank you very much. There's one kit that stood out to me, though, and it's because the subject is an absolute bastard.

Chopper, please take a bow. Everyone's favorite war criminal from a galaxy far, far away (seriously, look up all the awful things this droid did on Rebels, a family show) is being turned into bricks, and it's one of my favorite Star Wars Lego sets for a while. OK, so it's not going to compete with the best Lego sets in terms of complexity or show-stopper wow-factor. But it has so much personality despite being a bunch of blocks and studs. I think it's the manic little arms that do it. They look like they're mid-wave as the droid swears furiously at you.
