Description

A lesser-known Jedi

Saesee Tiin is a horned Jedi Master who sits on the Jedi Council in the prequel films, usually in the background. During the Clone Wars era he gets more of the spotlight and is known as one of the Order's finest pilots. Sets built around supporting characters like him are part of what makes the Star Wars theme so broad. If your collection already has the famous fighters of Obi-Wan and Anakin, this one adds a Jedi ship with a different face behind the controls.

The build in numbers

The 244 pieces include 95 different part designs, which is a generous spread for a fighter of this size. In practice that means few repeated steps and a model assembled from many different shapes. It is a satisfying build for older children and a quick evening project for adults. The three minifigures give you enough of a cast to stage a mission, while the finished ship is compact enough to sit on a desk or join a row of other Jedi craft.

Green instead of red

Jedi starfighters are often associated with red or yellow. This one uses dark green as its accent, set against light and dark bluish grey with black details. The effect is calmer and more distinctive. Dark green is also a highly reusable colour in general building: it suits forests, parks, trains, military vehicles and period architecture, and it pairs naturally with the greys that make up most of this set. It is a colour worth collecting whenever a set supplies it.

Using this page

Below you will find the complete inventory of set 9498, listed by colour and quantity, which is useful for checking a second-hand copy or tracking down a missing part. If you already own the starfighter, the What can I build? tool compares your collection with other sets and shows which ones you could complete. It is a practical way to give the dark green pieces a second life in something new.
