LEGO® Star Wars™ sets are stereotypically expensive horizontal Light Bluish Gray, Dark Red or Dark Blue objects made of wedge plates and featuring detailed minifigures. Alongside those, there have also been sets of larger figures, almost since the theme’s beginning. I remember looking at 7194 Yoda in a catalog 21 years ago in 2002 when I was seven and wondering how many pieces it would have… it has 1075, which doesn’t sound that much in 2023.
In comparison, 75371 Chewbacca has 2319 pieces – over twice more –
although it doesn’t look much larger. Of course, many modern parts have
been made character building a lot easier than it was in the bricky
2000s. How does our first large-scale LEGO System model of Chewbacca manage to capture
the classic first mate of the Millenium Falcon?
