One of the most exciting scenes in
Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace occurs just as Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn, Queen Amidala, and company are escaping Tatooine for Coruscant. Sith apprentice Darth Maul has just discovered them with one of his probe droids, and the black-clad warrior comes streaking across the desert on his Sith Speeder to engage the Jedi master in a tense lightsaber duel. This 50-piece LEGO building set lets you reenact that pitched battle in the desert with 1.75-inch-high figures of Maul and Qui-Gon. the Sith is armed with a translucent green lightsaber, the Jedi with a red, and both are wearing durable cloth capes. The Lightsaber Duel set also lets you build a 1-inch-long speeder for Darth Maul and a 3-inch-high communications post bristling with antennas, just like you'd find in Mos Espa.
