Luke Skywalker

Description

A name that needs no explanation

Few characters carry the saga like Luke Skywalker. He starts as a farm boy on Tatooine in A New Hope, becomes a Jedi Knight by Return of the Jedi and returns as a reluctant master in the sequel trilogy. A set that uses his name alone relies on that recognition. The name itself does not describe what the model shows, so the images and parts list on this page are the most reliable guide to what you actually get in the set.

Almost every piece is different

The 21 pieces come from 15 distinct elements, a high ratio for such a small build. Only a handful of parts are repeated, which keeps each step varied and makes the set more useful as a source of spare parts than a pile of identical plates. Building it takes a few minutes and suits young children as well as adults who enjoy small models. If you collect odd pieces for your own creations, a set with this much variety is a handy addition to the tubs.

Desert colours

White, dark tan, tan and dark bluish grey are the main colours listed. Together they give a light, sandy palette that sits comfortably with Tatooine-themed builds and other early Star Wars scenes. Four main colours in 21 pieces is more than most micro builds manage. Dark tan in particular turns up far less often in mixed collections than grey or black, so it is worth keeping these parts together if you ever plan desert terrain, rocks or adobe walls of your own.

Keeping small sets complete

Tiny sets are easy to lose track of once they are taken apart. This page lists all 15 elements with colours and quantities, so reassembling a copy or checking a second-hand copy is straightforward. If you keep your collection in Bricoria, What can I build? compares your parts with the catalogue and shows which sets you can already complete. That way a 21-piece model does not just become a few stray bricks at the bottom of a box.
