The final day of Star Wars Celebration London 2023 hosted a panel for the Jazwares Star Wars team and saw the full slate of their Micro Galaxy Squadron Series 5 releases unveiled.
There will be three new battle packs to look forward to. The first uses the Series 4 AT-AT but redecorated as the Endor version from Retun of the Jedi complete with figures of Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, AT-AT Driver, Scout Trooper & Speederbike, and four Imperial Stormtroopers. This set is an Amazon exclusive.
Continuing the Return of the Jedi Theme, the Battle of Endor pack will feature the Millennium Falcon and two of the newly announced Tie Interceptors. Mini-figures include Lando Calrissian, Nien Nunb, two Rebel Troopers, and 2 Imperial Tie Fighter Pilots.
The third Battle Pack takes us to Revenge of the Sith and the Battle of Coruscant. Here we get both Anakin and Obi-Wan's Jedi Interceptors as well as two Separatist Vulture Droids. Figures will include Anakin & R2-D2, Obi-Wan and R4-P17, and two Battle Droids.
The Series 5 Starship is the U-Wing from Rogue Squadron. It will feature folding wings, an opening cockpit, and crew quarters and will feature figures of Cassian Andor, K2S0 and Jyn Erso.
Moving on to the Starfighter Class and Series 5 lineup includes the debut of the B-Wing with Rebel Pilot, the Tie Silencer with Kylo Ren from The Rise of Skywalker, a Clone Wars V-19 Torrent Fighter, and a First Order Tie Fighter. The First Order Tie Fighter will also feature as the rare for the Series with a battle-damaged version featuring Poe Dameron and Finn in Stormtrooper gear.
The chase for the Starfighter Series 5 releases is not fully revealed but appears to be a V-Wing fighter as seen most recently in Bad Batch. Also blacked out on the checklist is also a general release of what looks like an AT-DP Walker from Rebels.
The Light Armour class has Cloud Car from The Empire Strikes Back with a Pilot. A Geonsian Starfighter and Pilot from Attack of the Clones. The desert Skiff with Han & Skiff Guard from Return of the Jedi. And another A-WIng, this time the Resistance A-Wing and pilot seen in Rise of Skywalker.
The Chase figure will be Kit Fisto's Jedi Starfighter with figures of Kit and his Astromech. There are two blanked-out Jedi Interceptors within the Series - one a general release and one rare. The silhouettes give no real clue as to who these will be at this stage.
The Blind Box Scout Class releases for Series 5 will include an Imperial Trooper and Speederbike from Rebels. A Geonsian with Speederbike. A Mandalorian with Speederbike. Rey with her Speeder from The Force Awakens. And Anakin and the Swoopbike from Attack of the Clones.
The Chase figure is the 'Like a Bantha' Boba Fett and Speederbike from the Book of Boba Fett. The two Rare figures are both from Clone Wars and feature Durge and Aurra Sing with Speederbikes.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
