I got this box from LEGO
So, LEGO sent me this box:
I asked my contact over at LEGO about the box, and he says that it's related to the new LEGO Star Wars television show, and to the "world’s largest model", which will be unveiled soon in New York. (He also mentioned a mobile video game, but had no information about it for me yet).
I'll do a proper write up of this stuff when I know more (and when I've got this model together).

I finished the first part of the model (it's in three seperate bags). Not sure what it'll be when it's finished. Looks like some kind of escape pod?
I don't know who this girl is, however. She's as short as yoda, has long dark hair tied into a braid, and is wearing jedi robes (specifically, it's young Obi-wan's robe, complete with over-the-shoulder small-braid).
Also, while I still don't have specifics, I've learned that the unveiling of the hugantic model will be tomorrow morning at 11am in Times Square. I wont be able to make it, but if anyone can, take some photos.
Going out on a limb to say Satele Shan or a similar early-lore character.
Full story on this. "The huge structure is comprised of 5,335,200 individual LEGO bricks. At 11 feet tall, 43 feet long and 44 feet wide, it weighs almost 46,000 pounds (that's including the steel infrastructure designed to hold the pieces in place.) It's a one-to-one replica of the traditional X-Wing retail model, only 42 times larger."
..."Visitors in Times Square will get a chance to climb into its cockpit, too — which, again, the ship is made to withstand."
Man I really want to check this out and sit in it.
Even more pics.
