  • The 3rd LEGO Star Wars Lightsaber is here with the 40730 Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber (Return of the Jedi)! This set is awesome but it does break the established scale from Yoda (2020) & Luke's (2021) Lightsaber sets. I also share my opinions on why LEGO Star Wars doesn't just sell you a set like this for $20 and how to make these LEGO Lightsaber promos better going forward!

    Outside of just selling them for $20 (which they may not be contractually allowed to do), do you think a $250 threshold each October 1 would be fair?

      @@peterpop-offwhile I agree that the hilt itself is pretty boring, 100 grey pieces is a terrible argument. It’s a lightsaber. An already designed prop. Do you want it rainbow? Monochrome? It’s gonna be the color it is in the movie.

    It’s a nice static display lightsaber hilt. But certainly not enough of an incentive to get that absurdly priced 500€ barge. 😝
    Given how floppy it is at such a limited length I don’t think trying to build a blade would be a wise move. 😅
    Drum-lacquered silver parts would have been a better approximation for the prop’s brushed aluminum finish IMHO. But we wouldn’t want to bankrupt a small, modest family business like Lego with such a ruinous move, now, would we? 😝
    On the matter of scale, Luke’s lightsaber hilt is in fact longer than Anakin’s, but not *that* much longer.
    On a side note, I liked getting Yoda’s hilt with the Cantina. It just would have been better paired with the AOTC Yoda statue. Maybe it’s a budget requirement and GWP can only happen at a certain price point ?

    Now correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t it have made more sense if they had released Luke’s blue lightsaber (Anakin’s) with the Mos Eisley Cantina a few years ago? Going with the whole A New Hope theme. Then for the AT-AT, do Yoda’s lightsaber, since it coincides with Empire Strikes Back. I think them including Luke’s green lightsaber with the Sail Barge is a great pick though. It ties all three of those sets and their respective GWPs together very nicely. Only gripe is like what you said: for the prequel sets, like the UCS Venator, why not give us something like Obi Wan’s lightsaber or Count Dooku? Would be really cool to see.
    Edit: Well, I can see how the blue lightsaber ties well with the AT-AT, since it’s even more prominently used in the movie, both when Luke cuts into the belly of the AT-AT, and obviously when he fights Vader at the end of the movie. I guess I was just thinkin Yoda’s lightsaber for the AT-AT set, because that’s the first movie we are introduced to him. And then Luke’s blue lightsaber for the Cantina because that’s its first appearance in that movie, and ultimately what kind of prompted him down his path/journey starting in A New Hope.
