  • To introduce LEGO Star Wars sets in 1999, LEGO invited some folks to Toy Fair with what is the first ever LEGO Star Wars "set"! It's a small box with the Death Star Final Duel depicted inside. Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader. The set has a few small quirks too...

    The light saber hilt for Vader is in the correct position for how they originally intended it. LEGO made the two different ends to the hilts with the thought in mind that one side could be Jedi & one side could be Sith. It just depended on the character but that definitely was the original intent & why they gave the hilts two different ends. The fans seems to think that they all have to be one way but it’s not what the original designers intended. I know for sure having been a designer that worked on both brands. They wanted the consumer to be able to choose which end looked closer to the original character for themselves. That’s why to this day they still have the two options. Great video Ryan. 👍

  • @ewan.cartwright
    @ewan.cartwright Год назад +92

    My guess is the lightsaber blades are rounded because they didn’t have a mould ready for a 4L bar, so they just cut the bases off some antenna pieces

    • @williambartholomew5680
      @williambartholomew5680 Год назад +8

      My thought exactly, in the space sets from the 90s you could see clear antennae almost represent light sabers. I have a few in transparent colors, very neat regardless. And when I was little (2004) actual lightsaber blades were a rare item with the star wars sets not being sold as widely in-stores as 2006+ so while I got some chrome hilts time to time I didn't get any proper blades until 2007/2008 so used the transparent green & red antenna pieces instead. They look good but are pretty long compared to the minifigs

That part did come in lightsaber colors around that time, and Lego has modified parts for promotional material in the past. They even sawed the OG UCS X-Wing in half and glued it to a mirror.
