Now it’s almost been a month to get the last LEGO Star Wars D2C of 2024: Jabba’s Sail Barge. This set leaked LEGO Star Wars 40730 as early as February 2023, after the infamous survey leak of the time, hinting at most sets that later came out during the year and made their way to the shelves. 75397 will be one of the last few, and with it comes a brand new LEGO Star Wars GWP, 40730 Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber.
Going by the name, 40730 will be a brick recreation of Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber, very similar to a previous promotional item, 40483 Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber, that was released in 2021 alongside 75313 AT-AT. But now, three years on, we’re getting yet another version of Luke’s lightsaber as a GWP. This will most probably be based on the weapon first used from Return of the Jedi onwards, where he wields one that is green rather than blue, since he lost the first one in his lightsaber battle with Darth Vader.Set Details
