Description

From Dagobah to the Jedi Council

Yoda first appears in The Empire Strikes Back, living in the swamps of Dagobah, where he trains Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force. The prequel films then show him at the height of the Jedi Order as a senior member of the Jedi Council. Few characters are as instantly recognisable: the small stature, the large ears and the calm, slightly mischievous expression. Capturing that in bricks is a very different challenge from building a ship, and it is what gives this set its character.

Earthy colours, no grey

The main colours are tan, sand green, dark orange and brown. Grey and black, the staples of so many Star Wars sets, do not feature among them at all. Sand green matches Yoda's skin, while the warm browns suit his simple robe. For a parts collector, that is the real appeal: an inventory in muted, natural shades that are hard to find in quantity elsewhere, and that work nicely for landscapes, trees or buildings.

Few part types, lots of repetition

The 1,076 pieces are drawn from just 102 unique part types, a very low figure for a set of this size. The shape is built up from many similar elements, layer by layer, which calls for patience and careful counting, since one misplaced piece can throw off the contours further up. The upside comes later: once dismantled, the inventory is easy to sort and gives you generous quantities of the same parts.

Buying and checking a 2002 set

There are no minifigures in the box; the model itself is the whole point. Dating from 2002, the set comes from the early years of the Ultimate Collector Series and is now only available second-hand. The complete parts list on this page helps you spot missing elements before you buy, which is especially useful with an older set of this kind. The ‘What can I build?’ tool then shows what else your collection could produce with these parts included.
