2023 Star Wars LEGO Advent Calendar - Day 1

 Hello, all!


I'm doing another Star Wars LEGO Advent Calendar this year, and will be posting the daily builds here each day. LEGO Advent calendars aren't actually tied to Advent per se, they are 24 days long, so they're always Dec. 1 to Dec. 24. 

Today was day 1 - December 1, which liturgically is two days before the first day of Advent which starts late this year, on Dec. 3. But, we're not here to judge LEGO on their adherence to a calendar that's not even held by all of Christendom. Although historically, Denmark (where LEGO is located) has been for a lot of its history an officially Christian country (Lutheran since the Reformation, Catholic before the Reformation, starting with King Harald Bluetooth [yes, the dude that Bluetooth technology is named after] in the 11th century). Anyway...

LEGO is starting the Advent Calendar off with a bang! Not only a minifigure, but a minifigure with extras! Generally, when LEGO drop a mini in the calendar, it's just the mini. So this is a rare moment to get a mini with something else; and especially rare that LEGO are starting the calendar off with this!

It's an obscure character - Omega, from the Bad Batch. She's an unmodified enhanced clone of Jango Fett. 

And she comes with a sled! Which so far as I know, she does not have in the show. I assume is included because the Advent Calendar is a winter-themed. Clone's gotta go sledding, too, right? I want to go sledding now! But we have no snow.



Totally awesome way to start! I love it. Good work, LEGO!
