Description

Why the trench run matters

At the end of A New Hope, the Rebel Alliance has one chance to destroy the Empire's battle station: a precise shot into a small exhaust port at the end of a narrow trench. Pilot after pilot is lost before Luke Skywalker, trusting the Force, makes the shot. The sequence ends the film and has been referenced countless times since. A set named after it is less about a single ship and more about recreating that tense final approach at home.

A quick, approachable build

With 132 pieces, this is one of the smaller models in the range, and it can be finished in one short session. Among those pieces are 54 unique elements, so the build still offers some variety rather than repeating the same brick over and over. That makes it a sensible first Star Wars set for a younger builder, or a relaxed evening project for someone who already owns larger models and simply wants the famous scene on the shelf.

Play first, display second

Three minifigures give you enough characters to stage the attack again and again. The model is sized for handling, swooshing and re-enacting rather than for sitting untouched behind glass, although it holds its own next to other Original Trilogy sets. If you collect vehicles from A New Hope, it adds the film's final battle to the line-up. Grouped with other X-wing or Death Star models, it helps tell the whole story of the Rebel victory.

Neutral colours, useful parts

Light bluish grey dominates the inventory, with white, dark bluish grey and black following. These neutral shades match the look of the Original Trilogy and are among the easiest colours to reuse in your own creations. If you are checking a second-hand copy, the parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity. And once the set comes apart, What can I build? on this page reveals which other sets your current pieces could already complete.
