May the Fourth is always a major event for LEGO Star Wars fans and 2025 looks to be no exception. Along with the D2C of 75409 Jango Fett's Starship and six more LEGO Star Wars sets, a brand new Gift With Purchase will also be available starting from the 1st of May 2025 for this year's celebrations. This GWP in particular is 40765 Republic Escape Pod which includes a total of 190 pieces and three Minifigures.
The promotional item will be available with LEGO Star Wars purchases over $160 and will most likely last until the 7th or 8th of May 2025. Regardless of it being 20 years since the release of Revenge of the Sith and 10 years since The Force Awakens debuted, 40765 will in fact be based on the popular Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series.
40765 will most likely be a reference to the story arc where Boba Fett infiltrates a Republic Venator-class Star Destroyer, seeking revenge against Mace Windu. Boba Fett is one of three Minifigures rumoured to be included in the 2025 promotional set along with two clone cadets.
While LEGO has released several escape pods over the years such as 75136 Droid Escape Pod, this will be the first Republic-era version to appear in brick-built LEGO form. The escape pod will likely feature a sleek, rounded shape with a predominantly grey and red colour scheme. With just 190 pieces included, a very small interior may be included, potentially with space for a Minifigure or two and a control panel for added detail.
