Description

The bounty hunter's ride

Slave I belongs to Boba Fett, the bounty hunter who tracks Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back and carries him away frozen in carbonite. Earlier in the saga, in Attack of the Clones, it is flown by Jango Fett. The ship's rounded, upright shape is unlike anything else in the films. It flies standing on end and lands lying flat, which gives any model of it a strong presence on a shelf and a satisfying weight in the hand.

How the shape is built

Capturing that curved body in bricks is a challenge, and the 145 different part designs across 563 pieces reflect it. Expect more angled and sideways building than in a typical starfighter, as the rounded rear section needs support from several directions. The result is a build that keeps you thinking without becoming frustrating. It suits an older child with some experience or an adult who enjoys seeing how an awkward shape is solved with a limited palette of parts.

Greys with a dark green accent

Light and dark bluish grey and black form the bulk of the model, but dark green is the colour people remember. It is closely associated with Boba Fett and appears here in useful quantities. Builders will find that dark green works well beyond Star Wars, in military vehicles, weathered machinery or landscape details. It is not the easiest colour to collect in bulk, so a set like this is a handy source whenever you need it later.

Parts list and more

The complete inventory for set 8097 is listed below with every part, colour and quantity. It is especially useful if you are tracking down the dark green pieces for a used copy. When you are ready to reuse the bricks, the What can I build? tool compares your collection against other sets and shows which ones you could complete, making it easier to decide what to build next with what you already own.
