The conclusion of the 2022 Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar was worthy of a pretty epic version of the calendar.
Coming on the heels of tributes to the Clone Wars, Tattooine, cheekiness, and Hoth, the fifth and final installment continued the Hoth honoring with some bonus lightheartedness.
Day 21: Hoth Luke Skywalker with blue lightsaber
Day 22: Wampa cave
Day 23: Santa Gonk droid
Day 24: R2-D2 with Christmas sweater
An epic Hoth Luke minifigure was followed by the infamous Wampa cave, and as a nice surprise, the two reveals worked together nicely in re-creating the scene where the staggered Jedi-in-training robs the creature of an arm.
The Santa Gonk droid is a nice build, complete with a clever beard piece, and the R2-D2 is a strong pairing with the earlier C-3PO minifigure. R2's sweater features C-3PO on one side and the Rebel Alliance logo on the other.
As we bid adieu to this stellar advent calendar, one more shout out to Jay's Brick Blog for the historical context and strong identification game. I look forward to next year's version, with hopes that "Bad Batch," "Mandalorian," "Ahsoka," "Andor," and other Star Wars programming from this year get their days in the sun -- and snow.
