These iconic Star Wars scenes can now be displayed in Lego form
Lego and Lucasfilm have announced a new line up of Star Wars sets that pull scenes from the movies and recreate them in Lego form, as Star Wars Dioramas.
The three new sets span iconic scenes from Star Wars: A New Hope and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back to give fans a new way of exploring their love for the early films while building a model they can proudly display once complete.
The first set is inspired by Star Wars: A New Hope, and with the LEGO Star Wars Death Star Trench Run Diorama, builders are tasked to recreate the gripping scene of Darth Vader’s pursuit of Luke Skywalker, as Luke fights to destroy the newly-built Death Star for a victory on the Rebellion side. Finish off the build with the memorable words of Darth Vader, “The Force is strong with this one.”
With 665 pieces, it is the smallest of the three, and as such is also the cheapest, at $89.99, with it being available direct from Lego on May 5th, but orders can be taken now here.
Taking a step back and inside the Death Star, builders can catch the heroes as they experience the crushingly dramatic Star Wars: A New Hope scene, where Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Princess Leia Organa are temporarily stranded after freeing the princess from Detention Block AA-23, with this Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama building set.
Packed with authentic details including moving walls, a dianoga’s head, and famous characters like C-3PO, R2-D2, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca and Princess Leia, fans will have no shortage of key features to showcase in this set. Channel your focus and have fun with Han Solo’s witty remark: “One thing’s for sure, we’re all gonna be a lot thinner,” to complete this legendary moment.
The set contains 802 pieces and is priced at $149.99, with availability happening from April 28, orders can be placed here.
Finally if fans are looking to homage “feeling the Force,” simply find your balance with the LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama building set. The striking display lets training Jedi relive moments from Master Yoda’s hut in the swamps of Dagobah while recreating the details of this iconic Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back scene. Complete with minifigures representing the characters of Yoda, Luke Skywalker, and R2-D2.
With 1000 pieces, it is the largest set, but as there are no moving parts, it is priced at only $119.99 and will also be available from April 28, orders for it can be placed now direct from Lego.
