The Clone Wars era was crucial for my appreciation of the Prequels. I admittedly went many years not caring for the prequel films. However, as I watched The Clone Wars and became more acquainted to the world building, I began to come around. One of the things I liked about the Clone Wars era was seeing the Jedi take such an active leadership role. It was in this era that we see Yoda as the “great warrior” that Luke Skywalker went looking for on Dagobah. Beyond his prowess with a lightsaber, Yoda also took to the sky in his own Jedi Starfighter. It’s that Starfighter that is the basis of the LEGO Star Wars Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter 75360.

Overview

Summary:

• Set Number: 75360
• Theme: Star Wars
• Pieces: 253
• Minifigures: 2 (Yoda and R2-D2)
• Recommended Age: 8+

Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter captures the look and feel of Master Yoda’s unique starfighter in LEGO form. The set includes the beloved Yoda and everyone’s favorite astromech, R2-D2. With 253 pieces, it offers an engaging yet accessible building experience for young and old Star Wars fans alike. The Jedi starfighter is worthy of any Clone Wars era fleet.

design & build

Summary:

• Compact and sleek design true to the Star Wars universe
• Detailed cockpit and interior space
• Vibrant color scheme

The LEGO Star Wars Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter set is an accurate representation of the iconic starfighter. The design captures the sleek and compact shape of the ship. The vibrant color scheme of green, gray, and white stands out among other ships of the era. The cockpit is designed to provide a spot for Yoda to sit comfortably. The rear of the ship allows room for R2-D2 (or any other astromech that you may have on hand). The overall build gives off an authentic Star Wars feel, with details like spring-loaded front blasters adding a realistic touch.

build experience

Summary:

• Suitable for builders of all levels
• Clear, easy-to-follow instructions

The build experience for this set is straightforward and enjoyable. The process is engaging and perfect for younger builders with less experience. The Jedi starfighter’s instructions are clear and easy to follow, which is a calling card of LEGO. Builders can complete the starfighter in about 1-2 hours, depending on their experience level. It’s the perfect project to work on while The Clone Wars plays in the background.

pros & cons

Pros:

• Accurate Design: True to the Star Wars universe, this set offers a faithful recreation of Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter.
• Minifigures: Includes Yoda and R2-D2, perennial fan-favorites.
• Price: The price point is typically lower than other starships on the market. It’s perfect for those on a budget (just like these other budget-friendly options).
• Display and Play: Great for display but also sturdy enough for play.

Cons:

• Limited Difficulty: As a smaller set, it may not offer an in-depth enough build for more experienced builders.
• Size: This is a smaller set. The finished Jedi starfighter may not be as large as other starfighters in the LEGO Star Wars collection.

conclusion

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter 75360 is a worthy addition to any collection. Although it’s a smaller set, it packs a powerful punch with its attention to detail. Afterall, Yoda himself said “size matters not”. This set proves that to be true. The inclusion of the Grandmaster himself makes this set more than worth your time. The lower price point makes this great for those on a budget (check out these other great options).

Do, or do not. There is no try.
