There’s an interesting design quirk with the UCS Millenium Falcon in that it’s supposed to represent the ship from both The Empire Strikes Back and The Force Awakens, meaning there are two separate satellite dishes to choose from, and there’s also multiple versions of most characters. This was very clearly designed by someone who fantasized about what every inch of the ship looked like from the inside when they first saw Luke, Han, Chewie, and Ben make their way onboard in 1977. It looks incredible.Īll of the areas of the ship you’ve seen in the film are very highly detailed, and even a few angles that didn’t ever make it to the screen are given some fleshing out. It is detailed within an inch of its life, and the sheer amount of plates, studs, and bricks on the outside back the rugged, thrown-together aesthetic of the YT-1300F light freighter. It’s difficult to imagine a Lego version of this ship looking any better. The other thing is that the two front wings sag very slightly due to the sheer weight of them, but this is nothing to worry about, and the ship itself is still as sturdy now as it was when I first built it - those are just a few little quirks to look out for if you ever have to move it. It’s very easy to put too much pressure on the roof panels because as they are supposed to sit, they are not quite flush with the parts of the ships directly to the left and the right of the big blue engine port. However, there are two things you need to watch out for. When you put everything together, it’ll snap into place nicely. These rooms are enjoyable to build and it’s where you’ll get your best look at all of the small details that are hidden around the ship.Īll of the areas of the ship you’ve seen in the film are very highly detailed, and even a few angles that didn’t ever make it to the screen are given some fleshing out This is made from a lot of Lego Technic pieces, and means that pretty early into the build you’ll get the surprise (or shock) of just how massive the thing is.Īfter this, you’re going to be building a lot of small compartments and rooms that are then slid into the inside of the frame, and secured with Technic pieces. The first is the hulking frame upon which the component 'rooms' sit. The UCS Millenium Falcon has two main sections when it comes to building the set.
