Lego Star Wars #75168 Yoda's Jedi Starfighter™

The third Lego Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor I have now. We should be grateful for this release as Star Wars: the Clone Wars has ended for years.

Same as Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter released in last year there is no slot to hold Yoda's lightsaber. But the lightsaber can be kept safely inside the cockput which is much better than Obi-Wan's one.

It is cool to have foil-wings & cannons to increase playability. Another nice feature is only few stickers are used for needed areas. The cockpit is rightly designed to hold Yoda and R2 sits comfortly compared to its master's one.

But it is hard for lego to resemble the fighter completely in such scale. The wings are too big when comparing the size of the cockpit. In the Clone Wars, the cockpit is round but that would not make bricks stick well. An oval version is the final solution.
