PRODUCT INFO >

What I particularly love about these revamped Star Wars sets is that they are much more affordable, with the Dark Falcon cost versus the incredibly large-scale Millennium Falcon, containing a staggering 7000+ pieces and a price point of over £700+.

Let's dive deep into the Dark Falcon set.

Calling all LEGO® Star Wars™ builders! Get ready to enter an alternate universe with the arrival of The Dark Falcon (75389)! This epic 1,579-piece set lets you construct a dark version of the iconic Millennium Falcon straight from the LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy Disney+ special.

This isn't your typical Falcon. This new set features unique details and a new cast of characters!

Unleash the Darkness

The Dark Falcon boasts a striking black and grey scheme, a clear departure from the familiar Corellian freighter. The detailed exterior features removable cockpit space for two minifigures, spring-loaded shooters for intense battles, and rotating cannons for added firepower. A detachable gunner post provides extra defence, while the radar dish ensures the crew stays on course through the dark reaches of space.

Exploring the Reimagined Interior

Flip-up top panels grant easy access to the meticulously crafted interior. Here, you'll find a removable throne perfect for the villainous Darth Jar Jar, a fully equipped command centre for strategic planning, and a hyperdrive to make that hyperspace jump in a flash.

The Dark Falcon also features:

  • Bunk beds for the crew (even villains need their rest!)

  • An entertainment area for some downtime (because who doesn't love a good holovid after a long day of conquering the galaxy?)

  • A jail cell to keep any pesky rebels in check

Unveiling a New Cast of Characters

The Dark Falcon comes with a stellar minifigure lineup featuring characters reimagined for this alternate reality:

  • The ever-scheming Darth Jar Jar, complete with his signature dark side attire.

  • Bounty Hunter C-3PO is now a hardened droid hunting for galactic credits.

  • The mysterious Darth Dev and Darth Rey are shrouded in secrecy.

  • A weathered Beach Luke, ready for whatever adventure awaits.

  • And, of course, the iconic Jedi Vader, ever-present in the Star Wars™ saga.

The Perfect Gift for the Disgruntled Fan

The Dark Falcon is an exceptional gift for any Star Wars™ fan, especially those who crave a fresh take on the franchise. This challenging and rewarding build will provide hours of entertainment while the unique minifigures and alternate universe setting spark the imagination for endless storytelling possibilities.

So, are you ready to turn the Star Wars™ universe upside down? Build The Dark Falcon today!
