We then rated them by how important they are to the story, which ones are most iconic, and which would work best as LEGO minifigures.
#LEGO STAR WARS MOS EISLEY CANTINA SETS MOVIE#
We started out by mapping ALL the characters seen in the cantina movie sequence. We had an idea about how many minifigures we could add to the set. Jens Kronvold Frederiksen: Deciding which minifigures should be included was a difficult decision. That's a big number! How did you decide who to include, and what reference did you have to bring them to life? : A big part of the appeal of the cantina scene is the wide array of aliens featured, and this set includes a total of 21 minifigures based on the sequence. All this was included to give the LEGO model the very special atmosphere in and around the Mos Eisley cantina as seen in Star Wars: A New Hope. We believe we succeeded there by adding the Dewback, the Jawa junk shop, and all the other smaller details. We wanted the model to look accurate and very detailed on the outside, also. It should be possible to recreate all the scenes from the movie with it! That wasn’t enough, though. We decided from the beginning that we wanted to create a model with a super-detailed interior. We have also collected all the photographic reference we could, from Lucasfilm Licensing, books, and more.
Jens Kronvold Frederiksen: We have, of course, watched the movie sequence of the cantina over and over again. What was the research and design process like? : The expansiveness of the set is incredible, from Han and Greedo and their booth, to the Dewback pen outside. This time around we had the opportunity to make these, and then create the best set we could imagine, with most of the cool iconic aliens included as LEGO minifigures. The idea of creating a big, super-detailed version has been a dream for many years! We knew that a set like this would require a lot of minifigures - several of them with new molded heads. That’s why we have made it into LEGO sets several times however, these sets have all been smaller models. Jens Kronvold Frederiksen: The Mos Eisley cantina scene is something special to most Star Wars fans but also for us at the LEGO Group.
: I think I speak for all LEGO Star Wars fans when I say, Finally! Tell us about why this was the right time for a big, accurate Mos Eisley Cantina set. reached out to LEGO Star Wars design director Jens Kronvold Frederiksen to talk about this “dream” version of the cantina, considering LEGO Star Wars fans’ wish lists, and a hilarious hidden surprise. Part of the Master Builder Series, it consists of 3,187 pieces, comes with 21 minifigures (including everyone from Han and Greedo to various alien patrons you won’t want to mess with), and includes a speeder and dewback, all making for the LEGO Group’s most expansive take ever on the Tatooine watering hole. The LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina, arriving globally October 1 on and in LEGO Retail Stores with availability for LEGO VIP members on September 16, is a sprawling and epic tribute to one of the saga’s most famous sequences. Who shot first? You can now decide - with an amazing new LEGO set.
