I *finally* got around to assembling the 7190 that has been sitting around here for several months. When I got finished, I ended up with a couple of 33 3 x 2 inverse slopes left over. After several passes thru the instructions, I finally found the (...) (22 years ago, 18-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

I'm guessing it's supposed to be a generic representation of one of the automated droid building 'robots'. Odd, since Yoda was never in the droid factory (during the movie). (...) (22 years ago, 18-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

If we compared this to, say, the Republic Gunship (used for the transport (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Agreed. "Shoot him, dad!" Yeah, great role model. (...) The LEGO SW sets run the gamut in terms of scale. I think the 7140 X-Wing is scaled properly, while the Millenium Falcon (7190) or the Sith Infiltrator (7150) are not. My impression is (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Just my $.02 here... I would guess that the difference in detail between the 7144 Slave 1 and the 7153 Slave 1 is due to the fact that not very much detail was shown in Empire Strikes Back. We only see the 7144 Slave 1 in two or three scenes (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I might be in the minority here but I must disagree. Here are my points: (Note these are MY OPNIONS) 1) Jango Fetts Slave 1 (JFS1)is TOO BIG vs other ships in current Lego Star Wars (LSW) line. Thus the scale is not right. 2) JFS1 is *missing* (...) (22 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.starwars)
