The original trilogy's most memorable scenes are recaptured with a Lego twist--even the weird robot eyeball/doorbell on the entrance to Jabba's palace. In this case, these are the droids you're looking for.

Bet you didn't think I'd remember the Hoth airspeeder call signs, did you? Interesting fact: While they were Echo Squadron on Hoth, that specific group of pilots were also known as Rogue Squadron, the finest X-wing pilots in the Rebel Alliance. Yeah, I can out-nerd anyone.

Say what you will about Leia's Lego-fied slave costume, but you have to admire their ability to turn Jabba into a cup-handed plastic block.
