Display value is evidently paramount across the new Diorama Collection and this rendition of the swamp surrounding Yoda's hut looks fantastic. While the colours are inevitably earthy, the vibrant trans-green of this swamp is striking and tan elements are reserved almost exclusively for the hut, ensuring the structure stands out within its organic surroundings. The Death Star Trench Run Diorama captures the tension and drama of an unforgettable moment in time in Star Wars: A New Hope. Three TIE Fighters, including Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced, pursue Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing. Frozen-in-time laser blasts from a TIE Fighter and Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter take aim at Skywalker. The mostly gray trench features many industrial details. A name plaque with a Darth Vader quotation attaches to the front of the display. 1. LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama 75330

Another window is situated on the other side, nestling among tree roots. The distinct shape is cleverly recreated using tan wheel arch pieces, which have not appeared in this colour before. Furthermore, those tree roots are integrated beautifully, generally following the contours of the hut, but leaving some gaps to give the impression of natural growth. My one real gripe about this set is that Luke’s hand should be on the ground, not 6” above it. The nipple tile should be two plates below the surface, and both parts should blend in with the ground. Yoda's hut has been represented twice before at minifigure-scale. However, those two designs focused upon play value, whereas this rendition prioritises accuracy. The resultant structure is exceptionally detailed and its rounded shape looks outstanding, recreating the hardened mud construction associated with Yoda's home.Crap, I might have talked myself out of at least two of the sets being overpriced :) I still stand by the trench run set being too pricey. Gift idea – Treat yourself or give this 1,000-piece set as a holiday gift or birthday present to an adult Star Wars™ fan, passionate LEGO® builder or collector of LEGO Star Wars dioramas Inspired by Star Wars: A New Hope, the LEGO Star Wars Death Star™ Trench Run Diorama invites builders to recreate the gripping scene of Darth Vader™’s pursuit of Luke Skywalker™, as Luke fights to destroy the newly-built Death Star for a victory on the Rebellion side. Finish off the build with the memorable words of Darth Vader, “The Force is strong with this one.” Of course, one thing that jumps out from among the numbered bags is a bag that includes nothing but 1×1 transparent green pieces!

Printed quotations also accompany each model and the scenes on Dagobah certainly provide ample material to draw upon. I think Yoda's famous comment regarding conviction when using the Force was most appropriate though. The neighbouring LEGO Star Wars branding adorns a 2x4 tile, also present across the burgeoning diorama series. You can even attach Luke Skywalker upside down, using a trans-clear 1x1 round plate with bar and matching accessory holder. The same interesting technique appeared in 75208 Yoda's Hut, four years ago."R2-D2 might be the most exciting figure among these three, unusually! The famed Astromech droid rarely experiences substantial changes, so decorating the reverse of his cylindrical body feels significant. The design looks great, matching both the onscreen character and the panels across the front. I love the splattered mud as well, even though Artoo's struts seem too clean.
