LEGO 75168 "Yoda's Jedi Starfighter Building Toy

Product Information

Still, prequel fans might find something to like here, especially if you don’t already have the 2017 set or a modern Yoda minifigure. As well as exploring the origins of many beloved and feared characters from the original Star Wars films, the Clone Wars also expanded on the prequel trilogy and became the source of some amazing Star Wars stories. The Clone Wars also help seed the rise of the Empire from the remains of the Republic. Many of the ships found in the original trilogy have variations used in the Clone Wars. That’s certainly the case with Yoda’s personal Starfighter. It was first featured in the Season 6 Clone Wars episode, Voices, in which Yoda is told to visit Dagobah by the fallen Jedi, Qui-Gon. The ship is a specially modified version of the Jedi Starfighter. Which later become the basis for a TIE Interceptor. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures I mean, I’d like that *too*, but I don’t see that releasing Yoda’s is somehow bad or wrong. Why not both?"

As with the 2017 set, there are two minifigures featured in this new set. They include Master Yoda and the trusty droid Artoo. Although both characters have appeared in many other sets, those featured in this set are the most updated versions of both. Artoo was recently given a better print design, with detailing now on the rear of the droid’s body. Yoda also features a unique torso, which is less detailed compared to the robes he wears in original trilogy-inspired sets.

Completed Model To be honest, I’m not sure why LEGO decided to revisit Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter in 2023. The model is a decent update from the 2017 version, but not a lot has fundamentally changed to warrant a new version of a pretty obscure craft.

Two minifigures are included – a bit low for this price point – and they are Yoda and R2-D2. Yoda is unchanged since this minifigure first appeared in 2013, but has a nice rubber head element and decent torso printing. Sadly though, LEGO continues to struggle when printing the dome properly, as the dark blue band around Artoo's head is obviously askew. R2-D2 needs no accessories, but Yoda comes equipped with his green lightsaber, as ever. A 3L blade would probably be more appropriate for the Jedi Master, so I wonder whether that has been considered.

Perhaps LEGO should have included a small Technic display stand, which is becoming an increasingly common appearance in sets nowadays. Why is “Surprising choice of subject” regarded as a negative? Shouldn’t that be a *positive*, if it’s listed at all?"
