Han Solo

Description

What the numbers say

Before anything else, it helps to know what the catalogue actually records. There are 23 pieces, 14 of them distinct, and no minifigure despite the name on the box. That high share of unique elements means very little repetition during the build. For a clear picture of what the model looks like piece by piece, the full parts list on this page is the best guide. The whole thing can be put together in a few minutes, even by younger builders working on their own.

The character behind the name

Han Solo is introduced in A New Hope as a mercenary who takes the job of flying Luke and Obi-Wan to Alderaan purely for the money. By the end of the film he returns to help destroy the Death Star, and across the trilogy he becomes one of the Rebellion's key figures. The same year this set appeared, 2018, Solo: A Star Wars Story came out in cinemas, telling how a young Han meets Chewbacca and first takes the controls of the Falcon.

A restrained palette

Black, white, tan and dark bluish grey are the main colours listed. There is no bright accent colour and nothing transparent among the main shades, just strong contrast between light and dark with tan adding some warmth. That makes the parts very easy to reuse. Black, white and dark bluish grey are staples in almost any build, and tan is always handy for sand, wood or stonework. Once the model is taken apart, very little will sit unused in your parts drawers.

Keeping track of small sets

Small sets like this one are easy to lose track of. The parts list here shows all 14 elements with colour and quantity, so you can check whether a copy is complete. If you store your collection in Bricoria, What can I build? shows which other sets your parts already cover. It is also worth browsing the other small Star Wars sets from 2018, a year that brought several models connected to Han, Chewbacca and the Falcon.
