Ecosystem

75292 The Razor Crest — Greef Karga previously appeared in this set but the version here is based on his updated Season 2 appearance with thicker facial hair and more ornate robes.

Imperial Troop Transport — This vehicle shares various similarities with the prominent Imperial Troop Transport, assuring uniformity within the formidable Imperial military.

75290 Mos Eisley Cantina — The decorated crate element with Aurebesh text was introduced with this set.

75152 Rogue One Hover Tank — Reviewer describes Marauder as 'a better version' of the hover tank. However, Simeon prefers the Rogue One tank's more realistic aesthetic, noting the Marauder is 'light gray but it still looks good' and prefers the older tank's detailed realistic look.
