Build A Hyperdrive To Take Obi-Wan To Kamino With New LEGO Star Wars Set

A new  LEGO® Star Wars set has been revealed, and I could not be more excited about it. While I am in the midst of building a LEGO Death Star at the moment, my thoughts have drifted to what is to come. I am a fan of all Star Wars, Attack of the Clones being my least favorite of the films, but that does not temper my excitement for the new Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive set. The scenes with Obi-Wan and Jango Fett on Kamino are not only important, but some of the best in the prequels.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is my favorite character in Star Wars, prequel or original trilogy, and the starships are always a fun build. The fact that they included the hyperdrive is awesome. And look at little Boba Fett! The reveal also included a press release:

Help Obi-Wan keep one step ahead of Jango Fett in his Jedi Starfighter! Dock with the hyperdrive, grab the handle and warp to distant planets in no time. Add some firepower with the stud shooters and spring-loaded shooters, then pull the trigger to release the ship. Will Jango be able to track you down? That's for you to decide…

Play at warp speed with Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter With Hyperdrive! Warp into action with Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter With Hyperdrive, featuring stud blasters, spring-loaded shooters, quick-release grab handle, 3 minifigures and a droid figure.

Speed across the galaxy with Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter With Hyperdrive. This detailed LEGO® brick recreation of the ship featured in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones includes an opening minifigure cockpit, space for the R4-P17 Astromech droid top section and 2 stud shooters, while the large hyperdrive features 2 spring-loaded shooters, big engines, and a grab handle for enhanced play and quick release of the docked model. This impressive set also includes 3 minifigures and an Astromech droid figure.

That Hyperdrive is going to be a cool centerpiece in any collection. This set will not be cheap, at around $129.99, but maybe we will get lucky and it will see a price drop closer to release, some time this summer or fall.
