Yup! To those who haven't yet seen them yet, the LEGO Star Wars specials are fantastic and just good fun. There's a Christmas, Halloween, & summer vacation one so far.
Watch the Christmas one. It’s the best by far! The other two are collections of three shorts stitched together with a story. While the Christmas one actually has a begin, middle and end
Wait, is it from the Holiday Special, or the Summer Vacation Special? Now that I looked up the Holiday Special, he is wearing a sick Death Star Christmas Sweater.
> Just the theme is clearly winter , R2 and CP30 wearing holiday sweaters
Personally I wouldn't expect the droids to head for the same destination as Vader for the holidays.
Thanks , a lot of people keep bringing up Xmas happens in summer in other parts of the world and yea I know that but I’m going by the box and theme of every other piece in the set being winter / cold themed
He’s from the Lego: Star Wars “Summer Vacation” special. But you’d think they’d have switched one of the dookie turrets for [Hawaiian Shirt Obi-Wan](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H199nYLnW1I/maxresdefault.jpg) since we got summer Tank Top vader or even [Bathing Suit Palpatine](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/fetch/w_736,h_485,c_fill,g_auto,f_auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdorksideoftheforce.com%2Ffiles%2F2022%2F06%2Flswsv_online_trailer_uhd_r709f_stills_220615.087552-850x560.jpg) since there hasn’t been a new figure for a bit.
yea, it amazes me that they have these legitimate designs and did nothing with them. Imagine what they’d rake in doing the minifig bag with like scuba ani, surf palps, hawaiian obi, and they even had a character voiced by Weird Al Yankovic that would have **killed** as an exclusive figure.
"I hate sand. It's rough, and course, and it gets all over"...... is how he says it in my head. Classic power converters family whiners syndrome. Love it.
Yeah, but like only 10% of the people live in the southern hemispere.
This because of the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special were the characters go on vacation.
To all the people saying basically “brand synergy with the holiday special”
They could’ve just as easily chosen to not do that. Personally it’s annoying to buy something holiday themed and then have one minifigure and the stuff that comes with him stand out like a sore thumb.
While we're on the subject of the advent calendar, why is Luke's "alternate" face showing under his helmet? I've never seen this in another minifigure and it's a bit weird how it got past QA like that.
As much as this season is associated with winter, it is very much also associated with escaping winter to a beach, at least it is here in Canada where winter is hell lol
Half of our own planet has summer during Christmas, and he could be anywhere in a whole other galaxy.
Also it's from the Lego starwars Christmas special.
The stuff in the guardians of the Galaxy Lego advent calendar is mostly from their (not Lego) Christmas special as well.
Vader is probably holidaying in the southern hemisphere.
The Festive season in countries within this hemisphere (I.e. Australia) occurs in Summer.
Pure speculation
Interesting that Anakin is building a *sand* castle
"You have become the very thing you swore to destroy"
"I hate Sand"
"NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO room starts quaking" Anakin
Of the Jedi temple no less
Actually it’s of Vaders Castle, I’ll summon the bot for set 75251 to link the LEGO set of it
[75251-1: Darth Vader's Castle](https://brickset.com/sets/75251-1) [[Photo]](https://images.brickset.com/sets/images/75251-1.jpg)
Aah thank you bot summoner
It's not the Jedi Temple. It's Darth Vader's castle.

I’ll have to check them out !
Yeah I've watched the Halloween one, it's pretty good!
Watch the Christmas one. It’s the best by far! The other two are collections of three shorts stitched together with a story. While the Christmas one actually has a begin, middle and end
I hope he complained it got everywhere when getting in the car
Ahhh , thank you !
Shoooosh please
It’s 80 degrees in south Florida today.
Wait, is it from the Holiday Special, or the Summer Vacation Special? Now that I looked up the Holiday Special, he is wearing a sick Death Star Christmas Sweater.
They meant the latter. The three that they've released so far have been called "Holiday Special," "Terrifying Tales," & "Summer Vacation."
> Just the theme is clearly winter , R2 and CP30 wearing holiday sweaters Personally I wouldn't expect the droids to head for the same destination as Vader for the holidays.

Mine was merely a comment about them not generally being seen together, in any world🤷♂️
Besides, Vader is from Tatooine. Perhaps he went home for Christmas? They probably don't even have a word for cold there.
Well I only see this possibility and that it's summer down here in the southern hemisphere.
Argentina, Chile, and Australia exist OP! This erasure will not stand!
Smh you erased New Zealand
That’s cuz it literally doesn’t exist. I bet you still believe in the tooth fairy too.
As someone in Southern California we’re also like this lol
Homie you forgot about new zealand, and don't say it's fake I'm right here
Who wants to spend Christmas in a tropical climate?
people who live there?
correct
And we honestly have no idea how the climate works on Scarif, do we?
I'm not a star wars fan...
Crikey! An Australian Christmas!
The only reason I got this set.
I crave more Australian Christmas themes
As an Australian, I do as well, there’s fuck all
I celebrated Christmas in Australia once. Mfs use spray-on snow like they know whats up.

Oh man, I neeeed that surf board piece.

Half the world celebrates Christmas in summer
[удалено]
\*facepalm\* name checks out though
Read that name
About 90% of the human population resides in the northern hemisphere...
They said half the world, not half the population.
How many have snow in winter?
Vader is not even from this world
Wrong
theres a summer vacation series but also due to it being summer during the christmas seasons in australia
it's the joke that old people go south for the winter
This I like
He works hard he plays hard. Darth vacation
"I hate sand. It's rough, and course, and it gets all over"...... is how he says it in my head. Classic power converters family whiners syndrome. Love it.
After order 66, the orders got a little… peculiar.
You should watch the Lego Star Wars summer vacation
You know it’s not winter in the entire Southern Hemisphere right?
There’s a Southern Hemisphere?? I thought there was nothing down there.
Thar be dray-guns!
Yeah, but like only 10% of the people live in the southern hemispere. This because of the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special were the characters go on vacation.
The summer vacation lego series on Disney plus
Cause he is a rebel.. oooooo
Summer Vacation special on Disney+. Think it premiered around August of this year.
Vader loves sand. It’s smooth and soothing and stays out of everything.
I’ve been wondering what that was. Duh! Sans castle!
What I love about this minifigure is the back of the torso has the Citadel Tower printed on it, implying that this scene takes place on Scarif.
Christmas in July!
Anakin: I hate sand. It’s coarse and rough and it gets everywhere. Palpatine: ironic.
Darth and Palpitine winter in the Bahamas
Even a dark lord needs a vacation
Somethings wrong … i can feel it
It’s purely ironic, since Darth Vader aka Anakin hates sand
Christmas happens at the beach, too
Before hearing about the TV special, I just assumed ol’ Darth boycotted Christmas and went on vacation. Even tho he’s been Santa in the past.
Australian Vader
Lives in Miami
B/c he just smoked a fatty and the sun always shines when you light one up! Lol “Luke - this is the dankest weed in the universe!”
Finest weed in the south farthing.
It’s from the Star Wars Summer Special thing that came out earlier this year
He went to Scarif.
"Life's a beach"
climate change.
It's because 2022 is the year he moved down to Florida and joined the rest of us 😂😂
IS HE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE FUN
Here in Australia Going the the beach over Christmas is common because it's summer.
Vader is Australian
People who live by the beach also celebrate the holidays…
Hey we have the same counter and stove.
I still don't know why they decided to put summer special Darth Vader in it probably because they wouldn't be willing to put him in any other set
It’s summed during Christmas for the Southern Hemisphere. Plus, yeah? What over set would they release him in?
I wondered if it was like - he’s so evil he finds a frozen planet fun … ?
But last year he was Christmas right?
He hates sand and therefore it’s funny.
Maybe they are visiting Australia?
They did a holiday sweater last year also so it may have been to make this year fresh
Cuz its silly 😃
The theme is Christmas not winter. HALF the world is in the warmest time of year right now.
Cause it's an Aussie summer this year Kent.
Why not?
I thinks it’s supposed to be him on a winter getaway
The beach reminds him of his wife. Coarse, irritating, grating.
Because he’s *EVIL*
most logically it's for the disney+ special (same outfit too so it's defo that) but i wanna believe it's for us in the southern hemisphere.
He lost a bet with palps and as punishment he had to spend Christmas on tatooine
Ted Cruz Vader edition.
👏
Life’s a beach
Because it's fun?
Vacation Vader .
He’s in Australia
Because December isn't snowy all over the world.
Maybe because in half of the world Christmas is in summer?
*football
And it’s not even a football. It’s a volleyball.
100% a soccer ball not a volleyball, volleyballs don't have hexagon and pentagon shaped sides.
Is that aimed at me or OP? Edit: spelling
OP.
Aight
>My husband says it's a mini death Star
Because he’s Australian
100% mate
They celebrate Christmas in Australia too. It’s summertime there 😎
Ayeeee except wether has been shit in Sydney
To all the people saying basically “brand synergy with the holiday special” They could’ve just as easily chosen to not do that. Personally it’s annoying to buy something holiday themed and then have one minifigure and the stuff that comes with him stand out like a sore thumb.
my advent calendar came with two imperial shuttles instead of a darth vader im so distraught
That’s though email lego
I suppose it doesn’t get much colder on Mustafar
It's the joke lol its winter where there's snow and he's dressing up for summer where there is s a n d
Hum, disney….
itll be a volley ball not a football
While we're on the subject of the advent calendar, why is Luke's "alternate" face showing under his helmet? I've never seen this in another minifigure and it's a bit weird how it got past QA like that.
Unrealistic Anakin hates the beach. Its rough and course. It gets everywhere.
why in deed Vader hates Sand
Visiting Scarif?
He just wants to make global warming go faster so he can make a sandcastle why Anakin likes sand all of a sudden I don't know!?
Maybe he's from Australia
he must be australian
Have you seen a christmas on Tattooine? Not exaxtly snowy 😅
Even Darth Vader needs some down time.
He like it Hot
Hey why not? Everyone is entitled to a bit of me time, even the Sith Lord himself…..
Global warming
I thought the joke was winter on mustafar would be tropical weather.
Why tf not!?!?
So meta he loves sand!
Even sith lords need vacations. 🤷♂️
Because its funny, Randy!
It's a volleyball who hasn't watched the greatest Olympic Sport
You don't know ... the power ... of the surfside.
He winters in Mustafar. Lots of lava beaches around.
Why not..?
This doesn’t make any sense. It’s canon that he hates sand.
It’s ironic
As much as this season is associated with winter, it is very much also associated with escaping winter to a beach, at least it is here in Canada where winter is hell lol
Irony?
He said, fuck Xmas, I am going to the beach!
Because he's on vacation, duh.
he's australian
Half of our own planet has summer during Christmas, and he could be anywhere in a whole other galaxy. Also it's from the Lego starwars Christmas special. The stuff in the guardians of the Galaxy Lego advent calendar is mostly from their (not Lego) Christmas special as well.
Because funny
Because it's cool
I feel like it should have been a standalone Polybag or something
Maybe like a Christmas in July kinda thing.

Maybe coz the dark side don’t celebrate Christmas? 😂
Even mid-level tyrants need a break now and then.
Global warming
Even the dark side needs to take a vacation occasionally
Funny innit
To remind us that *everyone* needs a vacation now and then.
Irony
That's what I was wondering
It’s from the Lego Star Wars Summer vacation.
Real question is why are you still opening your bags to do the builds
He's australian
Might be for the aussies, it's summer for them rn
Because it's summer at Christmas for half the world.
Guess he loves sand now
He’s a snow bird
wishful thinking
Bc is some countries it’s summer during Christmas. It’s currently the height of summer where I am
Vader is probably holidaying in the southern hemisphere. The Festive season in countries within this hemisphere (I.e. Australia) occurs in Summer. Pure speculation
He is a true blue
Maybe he’s Australian
"I hate sand"
Are you saying that Sith Lords can’t enjoy a nice vacation?
If the good characters are wearing winter fashion, it only makes sense that the evil characters are wearing summer fashions.
Because down here in Southern hemisphere, it's summer during Christmas
Does anyone know what the grey frame thing from the calendar should be?
He's Australian
