LEGO 75168 "Yoda's Jedi Starfighter Building Toy

Product Information

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.

And here’s a look at the previous version of LEGO Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter, which was released in 2017. Completed Model While renowned pilots like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker have had their own iconic starfighter battles in Revenge of the Sith, the wizened old Grand Master Yoda might not strike most fans as the type to pilot his own starfighter. Nonetheless, Yoda did fly a Jedi Interceptor-like craft on his mission to learn more about the Force during three episodes of The Clone Wars, inspiring two LEGO sets based on this ship. Keepability [2] – Fans of Yoda and Star Wars completists might find something to like here, but otherwise its appeal is unfortunately quite limited. 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.I do feel the model looks nicer in flight mode, and thus it’s a shame you can’t display it in flight mode without looking like it has just crashlanded. Why is “Surprising choice of subject” regarded as a negative? Shouldn’t that be a *positive*, if it’s listed at all?" Build [3] – A valiant effort considering the unusual shaping of the source material, but ultimately falls short.

It could also be good for a LEGO starfighter collector’s lineup, but other than that, I do have some trouble recommending this set. It’s not all bad – it is quite fun to swoosh around – but at its price and considering the competition, I think there are better sets out there. Innovation [2] – In many aspects, this is just the 2017 Yoda’s Starfighter set rereleased with some decent upgrades, but nothing significant. I mean, I’d like that *too*, but I don’t see that releasing Yoda’s is somehow bad or wrong. Why not both?"Others have mentioned Ahsoka's starfighter and her Eta-2 would have been ideal. After all, Ahsoka is a focal character this year, so releasing the interceptor from the beginning of the arc which essentially defines her character would be perfect." Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter will be available from LEGO.com from 1 August 2023, alongside the other August 2023 LEGO Star Wars wave. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures I think maybe you're focusing on sort of just the semantics of the phrasing? Perhaps if it was more like low demand model choice it would more clearly be a negative. It's obviously subjective either way if the subject matter is interesting or not, but at least this way it would just be clear that LEGO making a surprise choice was unambiguously meant negatively. Certainly no one felt Mace Windu and the republic tank last year was bad so that was a good surprise.

Perhaps LEGO should have included a small Technic display stand, which is becoming an increasingly common appearance in sets nowadays. In some cases, yes, but I think Yoda's starfighter was a negatively surprising choice. Much though I love the arc from which it originates, I would have preferred essentially any other Jedi starfighter over this one and I think many people agree, in all age groups.

Do note the stand in the above photo is not actually included.is the 20th Anniversary of The Clone Wars, which has done a lot in terms of transforming Star Wars fans to prequel trilogy fans. To commemorate this milestone, LEGO has released several Clone Wars-themed sets this year, one of which is 75360 Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter. That isn’t the fault of the designers, but I do think the source material does not translate well to the LEGO medium.
