LEGO Luke Skywalker and Yoda Dagobah Training Playset: Do or Do Not Buy

Master Yoda training Luke on Dagobah: it’s an iconic movie scene. And what better way to immortalize Luke’s struggle to gain control over the Force than with an official LEGO set? I can’t think of any. Come on, Luke, lift that X-Wing out of the swamp – you can do it! No? Dammit, Luke, Darth Vader is your father!

The exactly 1,000-piece set will retail for $79.99, and you can pre-order it on the LEGO site now. It includes Yoda’s modest hut, a large Gnarltree, Luke’s X-Wing peeking one of its wings out of the swamp, as well as Luke, Yoda, and R2-D2 minifigs. Remember when Yoda made Luke carry him around like a backpack? That was my favorite part. My cousins make me do the same thing for them.

There’s no question this will make a lovely addition to all the other Star Wars LEGO sets I already own, which is all of them. Yep, all 700+ of them. Can you believe there are so many Star Wars LEGO sets? My wife sure can, especially when she’s trying to navigate absolutely anywhere in the house without stepping on any.

Yoda Approves of This Dagobah Terrarium Does He

If you want your frogs, lizards, and other cold-blooded creatures to undergo their Jedi training, this is the perfect place for it. They will enter as humble pollywog padawans and emerge as powerful swamp Jedi.


Aside from not having any Luke and Yoda figures in here, this is an awesome habitat for frogs and the like. It is absolutely beautiful. It looks just like Dagobah and has a great smoky atmosphere. Of course you have to give your animals little lightsabers now and hope that they survive their training. Maybe throw a backpack in there so they can recreate Luke’s training scene.

I wish I had one of these in my house.
