Star Wars Lego Preview: Set 10215 UCS Jedi Starfighter by Inger Fountain
Lego has a way of surprising even the most ardent fans. So in a way when they announced their late 2010 lineup more than a few Star Wars fans were wondering what the unannounced set would be. They didn’t have long to find out.
The last Star Wars Lego set to be released in 2010 (as far as we know) is the Ultimate Collector’s Series Obi-Wan’s Jedi Starfighter. First featured in Attack of the Clones this sleek red and white space ship, also known as the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor, is the ship of a Jedi Knight; sleek, fast and with an intuitive control system.
Normally used for peaceful missions by the Jedi Knights the starfighter did come with twin-barrel laser cannons that Obi-Wan found came in very handy in his pursuit of Jango Fett. The starfighter required an external hyperdrive ring to travel in hyperspace, and its omission from this Lego set is possibly one thing Lego could have improved on first glance at the model.
With 676 pieces it is one of the smaller UCS models released by Lego, compared to 2010’s other UCS release, the Imperial Shuttle which has over 2500 pieces. It measures 9 in (23 cm) high on stand, 18″ (47 cm) long and 9″ (22 cm) wide and is priced to retail at $99 which seems quite high given the lack of minifigures and piece count.
It comes with a detailed cockpit and wing mounted R4-P17 astromech droid dome that rotates, the latter no doubt will be a piece prized by fans who make their own models as it is quite a bit larger than other astromech droid heads Lego has previously released. The model also comes with a display stand and plaque for display.
Given the price point fans may wait for this model to go on sale before adding it to their collection but despite that minor quibble, it is a nice addition to the Star Wars range.
