The new range of highly detailed Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron miniature ships from Jazwares are loaded with play features and let you bring home the battle against the Empire.
Of course, you can’t have Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon without Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter. While it doesn’t have any of the gizmos that the Millennium Falcon has , the X-Wing does come with retractable landing gear that, unlike the Falcon, does lock stiffly into place, and an opening canopy in which to insert the included Luke Skywalker figure. Joining Luke is a tiny R2-D2, who slots into the back of the X-Wing .
Our only other gripe is that, like with the Falcon, the paint on the X-Wing is overdone – the ship looks downright filthy! Otherwise, everything about this X-Wing model is fantastic.Pursuing Luke’s X-Wing is Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced. This has always been an ungainly ship, but Jazwares have done it justice, even if it does seem slightly undersized.
The only play feature that the TIE Advanced has is an opening canopy to insert Darth Vader into the pilot’s seat. Speaking of Vader, his sculpting is excellent on a figure so small. If we’re going to have Darth Vader in his TIE Advanced pursue Luke’s X-Wing down the Death Star trench, then we’re going to need a couple of regular TIE Fighters to be Vader’s wingmen. Fortunately, Jazwares have included the regular TIE Fighter in their range, and even though it’s part of the lower cost ‘Light-Armor Class’, it paradoxically feels larger and more substantial than the more expensive TIE Advanced.
The solar-array wings are sturdier, with paneling that’s lovely to the touch. The canopy opens in the same way as on the TIE Advanced to seat the included TIE-Fighter pilot. If this is one of your favorite scenes in the movie, then you might want to get your hands on theJoining the TIE Fighter in the ‘Light Armor Class’ range is the AT-ST, for protecting the Death Star 2’s shield generator and shooting pesky Ewoks.
