[MOC] Obi-Wan Kenobi's Sacrifice

[Aachthor]

I always wanted an iconic diorama for Episode IV (like the 75352 Emperor's Throne Room for Episode VI). But what LEGO gave us for Episode IV did not give me any "vibes" at all... the 75329 Trench Run was a nice idea, but sorry, the trench in the movie looks absolutely different - and the 75339 Trash Compactor was funny - but nothing more...

So I had to design something on my own - and what would suit better as an iconic diorama than the first light saber duel ever in Star Wars?

With this MOC I present my version of Obi-Wan Kenobi's sacrifice in Epsiode IV.

As always I wanted to stay as movie accurate as possible - but well, regarding the "imperial lighting panels" that was not really possible. When you carefully watch the scene from 1:31:30 until 1:32:30 you can see that the panels change after 1:31:50... ;-)

I tried to include as much of the wall design as possible, which wasn't that easy in minifigure scale.

The diorama can also get illuminated: all walls are hollow. You just have to exchange all white parts with trans clear parts and install some LEDs within the walls...


The MOC is available on rebrickable.

Is it bad I can literally hear this scene / quote looking at this MOC? Great work @Aachthor!
