Description

A cargo hold as the stage

With 174 distinct part types, Rathtar Escape sits at the lower end of part variety for a set of this size, which is typical of models built around large, repeating sections such as a hull or a cargo hold. At 836 pieces overall, the result is still a substantial model with several chambers and moving elements that open and close for action scenes. This approach sets it apart from pure building sets packed with small furnishing details. The model leans heavily on function rather than fine detail, most visibly in the moving latches on the creature cages.

Five minifigures for an escape scene

The 5 minifigures cover both heroes and antagonists from the scene, so the escape from the creatures can be played out directly without borrowing figures from other sets. For a vehicle set of this size, that figure count is fairly generous and adds variety when re-enacting the film scene. The cast is rounded out by the title creatures themselves, which are central to the play experience. Combining Rathtar Escape with other Star Wars sets from the same film lets you stage larger scenes with several vehicles and characters at once.

Colours and what the parts suit

Dark grey, black, tan and light grey define the look, fitting a rugged, technical cargo ship. This fairly muted colour palette mixes well with other Star Wars vehicles if you're building up a larger collection. The parts list on this page shows exactly which shapes and quantities are included, useful if you're after specific hull or panelling pieces for a build of your own. Collectors will also want to check the special pieces included, which work well in other cargo ship or starship builds of your own.

Built for action, not just display

Rathtar Escape leans towards active play rather than quiet display: the moving latches on the creature cages and the open cargo hold layout invite the escape scene to be replayed again and again, rather than just looked at. At 836 pieces and with five minifigures, the set suits children who've already built a first vehicle set and want something with more action from the Star Wars film line-up. For anyone who already owns other Star Wars sets, Rathtar Escape fits neatly into larger play scenes involving several ships and characters at once.
