LEGO calls this “A nostalgic gift idea for adults and any fans of the classic Star Wars saga, this collectible set offers an immersive and rewarding creative challenge.

The third new set to be revealed is the LEGO Star Wars Desert Skiff & Sarlacc Pit ($79.99) from Return of the Jedi. “The desert skiff features translucent elements for a hover effect and has playful details such as a push-out plank for Luke Skywalker to walk and the foldout railing where Han Solo nearly fell off.
