What reviewers are saying

"Yes, bricks! Normal bricks, I feel, is something that has really been missing in Star Wars sets these days, and makes LEGO feel less LEGO-y to me when they're not around."

"For a Star Wars Day 2021 special, I've decided to go back into the past for another LEGO Retro Review with a set that has a special place in my personal LEGO journey – 7121 Naboo Swamp."

Ecosystem

7654 Droids Battle Pack 72 — The new (7654) STAP is much sleeker and looks better overall, but the old one (7121) captures the appropriate size better. The new one seems too big. However, the new one does not include a back-packed battle droid like the vintage version.

Minifigures & Standout Parts

In this set (3)

Qui-Gon Jinn (Yellow Head)

Jar Jar Binks

Battle Droid - Tan, Angled Arms, 1 x 2 Plate on Back

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Blue 6x16 baseplate
This was the last Star Wars set to include this large blue plate
Battle Droid backpacks (1x2 tan bricks)
Accessories no longer typically included by modern LEGO; the reviewer expresses nostalgia for their inclusion
Clear stand pieces for STAPs
A technique copied for later STAP and other flying model stands
Triangular brown and gray pieces
Pieces also used on speeder bikes; part of the good parts selection
Green and brown bricks
Relatively rare colors at the time of release
Chromed lightsaber hilts
Looks so bad-ass; LEGO had a habit of chroming all sorts of elements back then. Timeless minifigure accessory that still looks terrific.
