szabomate90 Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) The Empire Strikes Back's Duel on Cloud City between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader is one of the most iconic and significant scene in the Star Wars saga and in film history as well. Also emotionally this is the most dramatic turning point or climax in the whole story. In that case this epic moment deserves a Lego set. Lego already released the 10123 Cloud City set in 2003 roughly with all the Bespin scenes. Now we're focusing on the lower levels throughout the chamber, where Vader revealed the truth to Luke. The project based on the original location that we see in the movie and also uses the behind the scene photos as reference for the sizes, shapes, colors as accurately as possible. What do you think about it? Is it really a must have scene? If you like the idea please support here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/139111 Also if you want this to become a real set share it with your friends! Thank you! Cheers!

I Scream Clone Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Really nice build. For it to be a LEGO set though it probably needs 15 flick fire missiles somewhere though :D Quote
All in the Reflexes Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Thats fantastic, if it could be clipped somehow on to the edge of shelves that display my other sets i'd have this in a heartbeat! Edited May 5, 2016 by All in the Reflexes Quote
PicnicBasketSam Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 That's really cool... but how stable is it? That antenna looks a bit unsafe for anyone under the age of 20 to be around. Quote
szabomate90 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Posted May 7, 2016 Thank you guys! It's stable I think, first I have to build it in real. The main goal was to create the set as accurately as possible. Also we reached 1,000 supporters, so thank you! Keep it up! Here are some scene comparison: Thx for watching! Quote
brickmasterben11 Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 LEGO does need to re-make the set. It has been 13 years, and this would make a cool UCS set. Quote
Boromir Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Staff pick on ideas now, and most popular set this week. Good going! Quote
jhaelego Posted May 8, 2016 Posted May 8, 2016 Great looking MOC. I feel like this scene would make for such a nice small-medium sized lego set. Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Looks very very unstable. Would it hold up IRL? Quote
Junior Shark Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Nice. But I feel like there'd be some sag issues with the bridge IRL. Quote
Jedi Master Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 You know I would buy this if it was a set.... Nice job Quote
szabomate90 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Posted May 12, 2016 Compared with a well known behind the scene photo: Thx guys! I will definitely check it IRL! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Top notch work! The best scene of the whole trilogy! Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Very accurate representation. Also, there's some nice greebles there too! Quote
szabomate90 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Posted May 26, 2016 Can't say enough times 'thanks' for your support, so thank you again! Now we're over 3K supports, which is a big deal, so at this point I'd like to share with you some improvements about the set. Considering that not all the parts are available yet in those colors that I added to the model at this time as a concept, I'd like to create a clearer version, which will be buildable from the existing parts in our present. If you like it, you can support it here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/139111 So this is the 100% buildable version of the model: Concept with some parts that are not exist in this color version yet: Correcting the distance between the two pillars: Update for available stair-side parts: Available color parts for the interior: Playable and now foldable roofs to make the interior more approachable: You can check the pictures in bigger version in this link: https://www.facebook.com/IAmYourFatherLegoIdeas/ Thank you for your attention, keep it up!

pittpenguin123 Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 I think the hinges would break will all the weight on it when its open. It it even possible to stay up IRL? Quote
szabomate90 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 I will check it, but I hope so! I think it can be massive enough! Quote
hisamk Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 If it in the Lego store, i will buy it. Great movie scene and playable. Quote
