What reviewers are saying

"This is it: the set that put an end to my dark age for good. I had never seen any Lego thing like this: so beautiful; so accurate; so big."

Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

4502 — Uses a similar screw-cog gearing system for wing attachment, though 7191's wing attachment method differs significantly in strength and design.

6212 — Also employs a screw-cog gearing system, but 7191 diverges in implementation.

7130 Snowspeeder 81 — Even this beautiful Snowspeeder could not entice Rufus back from his dark age; 7191 succeeded where it failed.

7181 Tie Interceptor 74 — Uses an identical stand design, allowing the model to be posed flying level or climbing slightly. Reviewer has enacted space battles with both models.

Minifigures & Standout Parts

In this set (1)

Astromech Droid, R2-D2

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Canopy
Believed to be unique to this set at the time of review.
Round dark grey piece
Unusual piece resembling a plant pot; round tan and grey pieces resemble tank wheels.
90 degree bracket
Reminiscent of Classic Space era pieces.
Round piece at front of engines
Not seen elsewhere by reviewer; presumed forerunner of later piece designs.
Black hoses
Rear hoses are under considerable strain; reviewer's have permanently bent to 90 degrees after 10 years.
12-tooth bevel gears
Used for wing opening mechanism; entire weight of wings goes through these gears; reviewer's unit had one break, contributing to wing droop
