Droideka

Description

The droid even Jedi avoid

Destroyer droids made their debut early in The Phantom Menace. Aboard the Trade Federation ship, they roll in as wheels, unfold on three legs and raise deflector shields, forcing Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi to back off. That scene set them apart from the clumsy battle droids around them. They return in Attack of the Clones and throughout The Clone Wars as some of the toughest opponents the Separatists could field, and fans have wanted good small versions ever since.

A very small build

At 24 pieces, this is one of the smallest Star Wars sets you can get, the kind of model that takes a few minutes to put together. It works better as something to play with or to add to a display of droids than as a centrepiece. The catalogue also records one minifigure for the set. Capturing the droideka's hunched shape, curved head and thin arms in so few parts is the main challenge, and small builds like this often show clever part choices.

Gaps in the catalogue data

For this set the catalogue has no element-by-element breakdown yet, and no colours are recorded. The count of distinct parts is shown as zero, which means the parts list on this page may be empty or incomplete. What we do know is the total of 24 pieces and the single minifigure. If you own a copy, that total is still useful for a rough check, even if you cannot yet tick off each element individually.

Planning with your own parts

When the parts data is filled in, you will find every element here with colour and quantity. In the meantime, you can still record your collection in Bricoria and use What can I build? to see which other sets your parts already cover. A droideka also pairs well with battle droid figures or Jedi, so a small Trade Federation scene is within easy reach even with only a handful of bricks.
