Slave I - 20th Anniversary Edition

Slave I arrived in 2019 as part of LEGO Star Wars' 20th anniversary wave, rebuilding Boba Fett's bounty-hunting ship at collector scale. At 1,007 pieces and 5 minifigures, the model captures the ship's unusual nose-tilting silhouette along with scenes tied to the hunt for Han Solo. That forward-tilting cockpit design sets Slave I apart from most other Star Wars starships in the range.

Description

The ship's tilting design

The model reproduces Slave I's unusual profile: the whole cockpit section rotates forward for landing, so the ship settles onto its distinctive 'head', while it flies level in space. That rotation is built into the LEGO version, along with a cargo hold sized for a carbonite block, a nod to Han Solo's capture in The Empire Strikes Back. Four folding landing struts and swing-out blasters round out the play features, letting builders stage key moments from Boba Fett's appearances directly with the finished model rather than just displaying it.

Twenty years of Slave I

Slave I is one of the ships LEGO has revisited repeatedly since Star Wars sets first launched in 1999, each version growing in size and detail. This 2019 edition landed alongside the theme's 20th anniversary, folding two decades of shaping and technique refinements into a mid-sized model. At 1,007 pieces it sits well above the earliest, much smaller Slave I sets, while staying more manageable than the largest collector-scale Star Wars ships on the market.

Colours and part count

Light bluish grey, dark bluish grey, black and dark red follow the film's colour scheme, giving the ship the weathered, workmanlike look expected of a bounty hunter's vessel rather than polished military hardware. Within 1,007 pieces, 276 are unique parts, many of them small greebled details covering the engines, weapons and curved outer hull. The full parts list on this page breaks every part down by colour, useful for anyone hunting for dark red or grey pieces for their own spacecraft builds.

Built to display and to play with

With 5 minifigures tied to the ship's story, the set works both as a shelf display piece and as a model built around active play, thanks to the rotating cockpit and cargo bay. Its mid-range size keeps Slave I manageable on a shelf without the footprint of the largest Star Wars sets, and the built-in functions keep it interesting well beyond the first build.
