Lightsaber

Description

An object rather than a vehicle

Most small Star Wars sets are ships or speeders. A lightsaber model is a different kind of subject: a single, instantly recognisable object that appears in every episode of the saga. Obi-Wan Kenobi hands Luke Skywalker his father's weapon in A New Hope, and from then on duels between Jedi and Sith become some of the most memorable scenes in the films. Building the weapon on its own puts the focus on its shape, from the metal hilt to the glowing blade.

A long, straight build

The 43 pieces come from 20 different elements, meaning quite a few parts repeat. That suits a long, straight object, where sections follow on from one another rather than branching into wings or engines. The build is quick and approachable, making it a good first Star Wars model for a child. Once finished, it can lie on a desk, sit on a shelf or be picked up and swung around. It is also easy to take apart again and rebuild.

Hilt colours and a hint of green

Light bluish grey heads the colour list, followed by black, dark bluish grey and trans-green. Greys and black are the classic colours of a metal hilt, while trans-green is the one bright note. Green blades are familiar from Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi and from Yoda, though the set name does not say whose weapon this is. For your collection, the set supplies mostly neutral parts plus a few transparent green pieces that are handy for lights, plants or screens.

Parts list and next builds

All 20 elements are listed on this page with colour and quantity. If the model has been dismantled, the list helps you gather everything again; if something is missing, the part number tells you what to look for. After that, the What can I build? tool compares your bricks with other sets and shows which models are already within reach and which pieces you would still need to find. The trans-green parts in particular are worth keeping together.
