This part of the build finishes off the top of Yoda's humble dwelling, and completes the hoary old swamp trees that serve as a backdrop.
Yoda's hut and the trees are perfect examples of the set designer's mastery of creating irregular and organic objects out of LEGO elements - not an easy task. There is not a blocky, squared off corner to be found anywhere, including in the shape of the swamp shoreline.
The trees are a work of art, with the gnarly forms and multiple root features rendered with various arches, slopes and log bricks. The placement of the deep green leaf and moss elements adds just the right atmosphere to the set.
Included in this bag is the Yoda mini-fig.
This version is different than the Yoda figs from other sets. The Degobah Yoda's homespun attire is adorned with printed tears, stains, and spots acquired from his exile's life in the swamp. Yoda also carries the famous walking stick that he used so expressively in the film.
Tomorrow - the final bag....
