LEGO® Star Wars™ Jabba’s Sail Barge™

For Star Wars fans who have dreamed of reliving the thrilling scenes from the 1983 classic, Return of the Jedi—your wish has been granted. Introducing the LEGO® Star Wars™ Jabba’s Sail Barge™ Ultimate Collector Series ($499.99), the latest addition to the LEGO Star Wars UCS lineup. The sail barge that carried Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca to their fate in the dreaded Sarlacc pit is now ready to transport itself into your living room, piece by brick-built piece.

Jabba’s Sail Barge was not just any ordinary ship; it was the luxurious vessel of the notorious crime lord Jabba the Hutt, a floating fortress filled with unsavoury characters, all of whom are faithfully recreated in this LEGO set. With 3,942 pieces and measuring over 30.5 inches (77 cm) in length, this model truly captures the grandeur and opulence of the sail barge—and it’s packed full of details that will delight Star Wars fans and LEGO enthusiasts alike.

The LEGO Jabba’s Sail Barge includes adjustable textile sails, a top deck that can be lifted off, and sides that fold down to reveal an exquisitely detailed interior. The interior boasts everything from Jabba’s throne room and bed to an armoury and a holding cell. Fans of the original Return of the Jedi will appreciate the attention to detail and the sheer amount of work that has gone into replicating one of Star Wars’ most memorable scenes—the battle over the Sarlacc pit.

Of course, a sail barge like Jabba’s wouldn’t be complete without its colourful crew, and this UCS set includes an impressive 11 minifigures to help you recreate the action. Among the minifigures are Jabba the Hutt himself, Bib Fortuna, Salacious Crumb, Max Rebo, Kithaba, Vizam, Wooof, a Gamorrean Guard, Princess Leia, C-3PO, and R2-D2 (complete with bar table). With these characters onboard, you’ll be able to stage all your favourite scenes from Return of the Jedi, right up to Luke’s escape and Jabba’s untimely demise.

This latest addition to the UCS collection pays tribute to Star Wars’ iconic heritage. Fans will be pleased to see the beautifully designed display stand, complete with an information plaque and a LEGO Star Wars 25th-anniversary brick. The set is perfect for display and is sure to become a centrepiece for any Star Wars collection.

LEGO aficionados may remember that this isn’t the first time Jabba’s Sail Barge has been made into a LEGO set. Back in 2007, a 781-piece version was released, followed by a slightly larger 850-piece set in 2013. While these earlier iterations were impressive for their time, the 2024 UCS version blows them out of the water in terms of scale, accuracy, and sheer luxury.

The sail barge scene is a pivotal moment in Return of the Jedi, and this LEGO UCS set brings that moment to life like never before. Whether you’re a dedicated Star Wars collector or simply someone who enjoys the craftsmanship of a well-designed LEGO set, Jabba’s Sail Barge is a must-have addition to your collection. It’s a testament to the memorable characters, stories, and vehicles that have made Star Wars an enduring cultural phenomenon.

So, if you’re ready to embark on an adventure across the sands of Tatooine with Luke, Leia, and Jabba, the LEGO Star Wars Jabba’s Sail Barge is the perfect choice. Just remember—don’t fall overboard, or you might find yourself face-to-face with the Sarlacc.
