You have the bacta tank, but also some creative additions, like Vader’s chamber, a Sith shrine, and a lookout tower. : I love the surprises on the inside of the castle. Adding a floor inside those angled walls was a different story, though! To build the walls, I experimented with 3×12 wing plates, and indeed they allowed me to get the angles of the fortress’s walls right. The challenge here was to build the exterior as large as possible in order to allow for enough room on the inside to add all the features needed. So, the size of Vader’s home wasn’t an issue. We adapted Star Destroyers, Cloud City, even a whole Death Star to fit into LEGO boxes. Hans Burkhard Schlömer: Here at LEGO in Billund, Denmark, we are experts at shrinking things, so to say. Where do you begin adapting something like this into LEGO form? : Vader’s castle is such a huge construct within the Star Wars universe. Living in a lava castle may be a cliché for a bad guy, but if there ever was a villain entitled to a dark fortress surrounded by lava - it’s definitely Darth Vader. It is great to be finally shown Darth Vader’s lair on Mustafar, albeit briefly. Hans Burkhard Schlömer: At the time of designing this set, there was only Rogue One for reference. : As a designer, what do you like about Vader’s castle as it’s depicted in Rogue One and subsequent media? caught up with LEGO designer Hans Burkhard Schlömer to discuss how he combined the power of the dark side with LEGO bricks in this fun new set. Your LEGO rebel minigures will not want to visit here…

The set also comes with a great collection of minifigures, including Darth Vader, Darth Vader (creepy bacta tank edition), two Royal Guards, and an Imperial Transport Pilot, as well as Vader’s TIE Advanced. That’s not to mention the surprises, like a lookout tower, ancient Sith shrine with holocron, and an actual bacta tank, as seen in Rogue One.

And now, at last, we have it in LEGO form.Īvailable exclusively at, LEGO Darth Vader’s Castle measures over 16” tall, 11” wide, and 9” deep, capturing the tuning-fork look of the original construct and other design elements, from red-hued windows on the facade to a lava fall. A towering black monolith on the lava planet where the Sith Lord suffered his greatest defeat, it oozed mystery, menace, and the dark side. Pretty much non-canon of course since it was basically a house variant based on Wookieepedia entries, but it was still fun and made things more interesting for me for sure.One of the biggest surprises - literally - in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was the inclusion of Darth Vader’s castle.

It started to get expensive to be a non-Force healer rather quickly, but we finished the campaign before it really made an impact though. Apparently he researched it as well and wanted to simulate the decline of kolto, which he reasoned would start cheap and become more expensive over time due to the combination of overharvesting on Manaan, an inability to synthesize it, and the gradual rise of bacta (which he was going to do the opposite with). We installed a kolto tank on our ship (so by extension my Medic carried it as well), but little did I know the gamemaster's plan for that. Of course this discussion came up and I found myself researching it quite a bit. Back a couple years ago, my friends and I actually played a tabletop SW game with my character being a non-Force-sensitive Teltior who was a Trooper-turned-Mercenary Battlefield Medic.
