Ecosystem

Temple Escape set — Host prefers Temple Escape's simpler linear design; feels Rancor Pit should not have been a set at all, preferring a more chase-focused scenario.

other forgettable Force Awakens scenes — Represents one of the weaker movie moments but the set itself is more likeable than the scene deserves.

9516 Jabba's Palace 86 — The Rancor Pit completes Jabba's Palace and is best enjoyed in combination with it. The pit interlinks with the throne room via four connection points, and together they form a cohesive Star Wars display. By itself, the pit has limited appeal, but with Jabba's Palace it becomes the ideal companion set.
