After an initial week that honored spinoffs like "Bad Batch" and "Mandalorian" and a second week that paid tribute to the "Clone Wars" and the prequel timeline, the third week settled very specifically on Endor as part of the 40th anniversary celebration of "Return of the Jedi."
Day 11: Armoured Assault Tank (AAT)
Day 12: Reindeer Gonk droid
Day 13: Imperial Shuttle
Day 14: Leia Organa
Day 15: Ewok village
The AAT and the Imperial Shuttle were both phenomenally rendered builds, while the Ewok village was clever if a bit simplistic. The Princess Leia Organa minifigure is an exclusive, featuring her in Endor fatigues with her hair up, displaying alternate faces, and holding both a blaster and a Christmas cookie.
But the highlight of the week for me was the adorable Gonk droid. Droid arms represent the antlers, and a button nose polishes off the holiday look.
A return to Endor is always a welcome experience for me, and this year's advent calendar -- while somewhat light on minifigures thus far -- has been marked by winner after winner.
