- The Ghost & Phantom II LEGO Officially Revealed!
The very first LEGO Star Wars series thanks to its new live-action appearance in Ahsoka.
Piloted by the New Republic's Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), the new LEGO set teases that she'll be ed by her son Jacen (though he does look different from his animated appearance).
First revealed ahead of SDCC 2023 in pre-order listing from Australian-based LEGO Bricks Megastore and officially listed on LEGO.com, new images for 75357 Ghost & Phantom II have been revealed along with official product info. Coming with both The Ghost and its smaller detachable craft known as The Phantom II from the show, both ships look to be an improvement on the original LEGO sets released back in 2014 when Star Wars Rebels first aired. Thanks to Ahsoka which will be tying up several plot points from Star Wars Rebels, it's the perfect time to update The Ghost and Phantom with this brand-new set.

The Ghost & Phantom II LEGO Officially Revealed!
We've updated the article to include official links, pricing, and imagery from LEGO's official reveal of the LEGO Ghost & Phantom II set at San Diego Comic-Con 2023.
Images for the LEGO Ghost & Phantom II can be viewed below:
The LEGO Ghost & Phantom II will release on September 1st and will cost $159.99 (209.99 CAD, $259.99 AUS. The set includes 1,394 pieces in total along with 5 minifigures. This includes a brand-new version of Hera to match her live-action debut alongside her loyal droid companion Chopper. One First Officer Hawkins and a Mon Calamari named Lt. Beyta are included as well. Also, the LEGO set notably features Jacen Syndulla, son of Hera and Kanan Jarrus. However, the minifigure of Jacen has brown hair rather than green as he was seen in Star Wars Rebels.
Why Has Star Wars Changed Jacen Syndulla?
As seen in the finale of Star Wars Rebels, Jacen had green hair while traveling the galaxy with his mother in The Ghost in the show's epilogue. With his father Kanan having died saving The Ghost's crew in the final season, Jacen never knew his father. That being said, it was teased that he may share his father's Force-sensitivity as a Jedi while also inheriting his mother's skills as a pilot. However, it seemed as though he had also gained his green hair from his mom too.
The Ghost & Phantom II set seemingly suggests that Jacen's hair was dyed (not unlike Mandalorian Sabine Wren). It's also possible that the change to a more mundane brown hairstyle was simply an aesthetic choice made as many characters from Star Wars Rebels are making their live-action debuts in Ahsoka. Regardless, the inclusion of Hera's son in this new Star Wars LEGO set does suggest a more significant role for Jacen Syndulla in the Ahsoka show.
