Day 4 - DEATH STAR TROOPER
Death Star Troopers are an elite unite of Imperial Navy, serving on the Death Star. Though often considered a joke by the Rebels, these soldiers are actually well-trained and equipped for their assigned tasks.
Day 5 - HOTH TURRET
Officially called the 1.4 FD P-Tower, this laser gun was used by the Rebel Alliance against the Imperial Forces during the Battle of Hoth. Its single laser cannon fired from the center of its dish, with enough energy to disable an AT-ST. It was designed to be built quickly and easily, and yet survived well in harsh terrains, like those of Hoth.
Day 6 - SNOWTROOPER
Plain white legs with a black joint, with painted torso depicting a white belt and the trooper’s chest armor.
Comes with a black blaster and a white helmet and a life support pack, with two eyeholes for a black visor.
Imperial stormtroopers are trained to fight in arctic environments. When Vader discovered the location of the Rebel Base on Hoth, he deployed contingents of these specially trained Stormtroopers against the Rebels.
Day 7- IMPERIAL OFFICER SNOWMAN
A snowman built to look much like an Imperial snowtrooper, it has a round snowman’s body with a snowtroopers officer helmet and a carrot nose, and wields a snowball stud shooter.
Day 8 - HOTH DISH CANON
Officially called the 1.4 FD P-Tower, this laser gun was used by the Rebel Alliance against the Imperial Forces during the Battle of Hoth.
Its single laser cannon fired from the center of its dish, with enough energy to disable an AT-ST. It was designed to be built quickly and easily, and yet survived well in harsh terrains, like those of Hoth.

Day 11 - AAT
An assault tank used primarily by the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the Clone Wars, several of which subsequently fell into the hands of the Rebel Alliance, while others were substantially modified by the Galactic Empire.
Day 12 - DROID GUNSHIP
Starships operated by one droid brain.
Droid Gunships were a major weapon and means of battle-droid transportation used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, debuting late in the Clone Wars.
Day 13 - BATTLE DROID
A type of military droid originally used by the Trade Federation, then by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, forming the bulk of those armies. Usually manufactured on distant planets such as Geonosis and Hypari, their orders and actions were controlled and directed by a central computer, leaving them vulnerable to tricks and manipulation.
Day 14 - JEDI STARFIGHTER
The starship favored by Obi-Wan Kenobi during the Clone Wars; commissioned shortly before the Clone Wars as an interceptor, it featured four laser cannons, with two extra ones underneath the breakaway panels, and later fitted with an R2 series astromech dome by Anakin Skywalker.
Obi-Wan used it first when finding the bounty hunter Jango Fett before seeing more extensive action in the Clone Wars. Obi-Wan retired the ship after the defeat of the Jedi, and its whereabouts remain unknown.

Day 15 - TANTIVE IV
The consular ship of Princess Leia. It was this ship she travelled aboard when her ship was intercepted by Darth Vader’s Imperial Destroyer, necessitating the transfer of the Death Star’s plans to R2-D2 and kicking off the downfall of the Galactic Empire.
Day 16 - SILVER PROTOCOL DROID
Droids programmed for etiquette and relations among sentient species, and designed to resemble the species they serve.
Protocol droids often serve as translators and are used for diplomatic missions.
With this minifigure we are not exactly sure if it is a general protocol droid or the famous C-3PO in a silver version. So far Lego hasn't announced anything officially on that part.
Day 17 - GONK DROID
Infamous for their slow pace and the strange honking noise they make, these droids are nothing more than power generators on legs, only able to understand the simplest of commands. They are usually found on underdeveloped planets.
Normally in grey, the colour brown is rather unusual - probably as a reference to the christmas theme of the advent calendar.

Day 18 - JABBA'S PALACE
Residence of the galactic gangster, Jabba the Hut, and the scene of the confrontation between Luke Skywalker and Jabba for the rescue of Leia, the Droids, and Han Solo.
Day 19 - LUKE SKYWALKER
Luke Skywalker as he appears in Return of the Jedi: no longer a naive farm boy, or impetuous apprentice out of his deptha, he has mastered the ways of the Force, faces his adversaries with the cool confidence of a Jedi Master, preparing for his ultimate confrontation with Darth Vader--his father.
The Darth Vader minifigure is from the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar 2014
Luke comes with two face, in the picture above you see the more friendly one.
Day 20 - DESERT SKIFF
A repulsorlift craft built for skimming quickly over large swathes of the Tatooine deserts. Used by those in Jabba’s employ to position prisoners above the sarlacc pit, that they might be executed more swiftly. However, Luke Skywalker and his friends thwarted the execution, killed the crime lord, and escaped via one of his skiffs.
Day 21 - STORMTROOPER
Plain white legs with black joint, torso printed with chest armor, and a white helmet going over a black head.
The famous stormtroopers are soldiers of the Galactic Empire, part of the Imperial Army’s elite shock troops, and uniquely loyal to the Emperor himself.
Day 22 - IMPERIAL LANDING CRAFT
Sentinel-class landing craft have a fixed central wing and two side wings that fold up when landing.
They carry detachments of stormtroopers throughout the galaxy.
Day 23 - SLEIGH
A white sleigh, tall, with rounded edges, skis, and tan bag in the back with ice-skates and a hockey puck. Not exactly a Star Wars vehicle, but quite fitting with the theme of the calendar as a whole.
Day 24 - CHEWBACCA
The most famous of Wookies, Chewbacca fought for the Galactic Republic on his home planet, Kashyyk, at the end of the Clone Wars.
Some years later, he met the smuggler Han Solo and became his co-pilot on the Millennium Falcon.
After Han agreed to help Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, first in the rescue of Princess Leia, and then the larger battle against the Galactic Empire, Chewbacca assumed an indispensable role assisting the integral players in the ensuing battle against the Empire--Leia, Han, and Luke.
