75213 Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 13 – Imperial Troop Transporter
Another non-film item, the Imperial Troop Transporter. If you’re noticing that very few vehicles in the Star Wars universe have wheels, it’s because once you’ve invented anti-grav there’s really no going back. It’s especially handy when you are invading worlds with poor infrastructure.
75213 Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 12 – Jedi Interceptor
Another obscure one, the type of Jedi Starfighter flown by Anakin in The Clone Wars.
75213 Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 11 – Rowan Freemaker
Another one I’d never heard of, from an animated TV series “LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures“.

75213 Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 8 – Battle Droid
These are the standard B1-Battle Droids you find all over the universe – if you watched the Naboo scene yesterday you would have already seen how effective they are at soaking up laser cannon fire.
One of the epic-er moments in the Phantom Menace, is when they are unloading out of their carriers though.

In Phantom Menace, Anakin is very naughty, taking off in a N-1 starfighter when he was supposed to just be hiding.
75213 Star Wars Advent Calendar, Day 6 – Twin Pod Cloud Car
This is one of the nicer models – simple, but captures the essence of the thing.
When Han Solo and the princess arrive at Cloud City (seeking assistance from Lando Calrissian) the Millennium Falcon is intercepted by two Twin Pod Cloud Cars. You can see them at the start of this clip from The Empire Strikes Back:
And some interesting background:
