With its wings splayed out, the ship has a slightly more aggressive look, akin to that of a TIE Interceptor. Do note the stand in the above photo is not actually included.

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. 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." I mean, I’d like that *too*, but I don’t see that releasing Yoda’s is somehow bad or wrong. Why not both?" And here’s a look at the previous version of LEGO Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter, which was released in 2017. Completed Model Yoda is not necessarily a character one associates with starfighters, but when the Jedi Grand Master embarks upon solo missions, he pilots a specialised fighter. While clearly similar to the normal Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor in certain respects, this starfighter's proportions are unique and have been translated quite effectively in LEGO form, on the whole.

Innovation [2] – In many aspects, this is just the 2017 Yoda’s Starfighter set rereleased with some decent upgrades, but nothing significant. The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures Putting the ship into flight mode allows you to see the inner grey wings. These don’t have much detail but are mounted at an angle, thanks to some hinge plates.

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. Why is “Surprising choice of subject” regarded as a negative? Shouldn’t that be a *positive*, if it’s listed at all?" 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. 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.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.
