There are other neat details too, like the articulating turbo laser turret which can spin around to track the X-Wing, and the green translucent rods which represent the blaster fire from the TIE Fighters. That’s exactly the kind of attention to detail that we love to see in dioramas and display pieces. There are even custom pieces specific to this kit (as far as we can tell), like the flat printed piece that looks like the top of R2D2’s head which sits on top of the X-Wing. We’re always impressed by the mini versions of kits that Lego manages to create.

Constructing the trench almost feels like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, only each piece is a smaller jigsaw that you have to assemble first. To recreate the mish mash of greebles and sci-fi bits that covered the actual Death Star trench model in the movie, Lego has pulled out all the stops by using a huge variety of weird and rarely seen Lego pieces.
