Description

An unmistakable silhouette

Slave I does not look like a typical starship. It flies upright and lands flat, with a rounded body that is instantly recognisable to anyone who has seen The Empire Strikes Back. In that film Boba Fett uses it to carry Han Solo, frozen in carbonite, away from Cloud City. Attack of the Clones shows the ship earlier, in the hands of Jango Fett. Translating that shape into bricks is the main appeal of any Slave I set, and this one is no exception.

Parts that reflect the shape

The 537 pieces include 156 different designs, a high number for a set of this size. Curves and angled surfaces require a wider range of elements than a boxy vehicle would, and that shows in the inventory. The build therefore offers plenty of variety, with fewer repetitive stages and more small problems to solve. For your own creations later on, the mix of shapes is useful whenever you want to escape straight lines and right angles.

An earlier colour scheme

Light and dark bluish grey and black dominate, with tan rounding out the main colours. Dark green, which many fans associate with Boba Fett's ship, does not appear among the leading colours here. That makes this version look noticeably different next to later interpretations, and some collectors enjoy owning several for exactly that reason. The greys and blacks are widely reusable, while the tan pieces work well for desert scenes and older-looking machinery in other projects.

Figures and inventory

Four minifigures is a generous number for a ship of this class and gives you enough characters to build a small scene around it. The full inventory on this page lists every element with its colour and quantity, which helps with checking a second-hand copy. If you already own the set, the What can I build? feature suggests other models your collection could cover, so the parts can find new uses in future builds.
