Description

The ship from the opening scene

The Tantive IV is the first spaceship seen in the original Star Wars film, chased by an Imperial Star Destroyer moments after the opening crawl. Set 75244 recreates the ship's long, narrow hull and side engine pods using a light colour scheme of white and light grey, typical of Rebel vessels. At 1,768 pieces, the model captures the film's proportions clearly, without needing every detail to sit at true minifigure scale. For fans of the original trilogy, this is one of the most recognisable Rebel cruisers in the saga.

365 elements in white and grey

The colour palette of white, light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and black reflects the plain, military look of the Rebel fleet. Of the 1,768 pieces, 365 are unique elements, giving a set of this size plenty of variety, particularly around the panels, antennas and hull detailing. These light base colours combine easily with other space or Rebel-themed sets. The full parts list on this page shows exactly which shapes and quantities go into the long hull and engine section.

Six minifigures from the original trilogy

The set includes 6 minifigures, among them Princess Leia and Darth Vader, two of the most recognisable characters from the scene where the Tantive IV is boarded. That makes it possible to recreate the famous moment Vader steps aboard the Rebel ship directly. For collectors focused on minifigures from the earliest films in the series, this line-up of six figures is one reason the set has stayed sought-after despite its age.

A model for display or diorama

At 1,768 pieces and 365 elements, the Tantive IV works both as a standalone display piece and as an addition to a larger diorama of the opening scene, alongside a matching Star Destroyer model. The parts list on this page makes it easy to look through the grey and white hull pieces before starting on the long Rebel ship yourself. The long hull with its side engine pods takes a little patience to assemble, since the shape and structure only come together fully over several separate building stages.
