Darth Jar Jar LEGO minifigure included in new Dark Falcon playset
As we previously reported, a new LEGO Star Wars special is coming out on Disney+ in September, which will feature the first semi-official appearance of Darth Jar Jar. In conjunction with this upcoming show, LEGO has released a new toy vehicle set called The Dark Falcon which will include a Darth Jar Jar minifigure.
The Dark Falcon appears to be an alternate version of the Millennium Falcon, which will serve as Darth Jar Jar’s ship/base in the special. The description of the playset mentions that The Dark Falcon includes Darth Jar Jar’s throne.
Besides Darth Jar Jar, also included are alternate versions of other popular characters: Bounty Hunter C-3PO, Darth Rey, Beach Luke, and Jedi Vader (in white armor), as well as Darth Dev (a character who will be introduced in the LEGO special).
The list price for this item is $179.99. A few vendors seem to be offering it for a little less, but you probably won’t find it for much less than $10 or $20 off that price.
We reached out to LEGO to ask if it would be possible to get standalone copies of the Darth Jar Jar figure, but were informed that, unfortunately, due to LEGO’s licensing agreement with Lucasfilm, the figure can only be obtained through purchase of this set, at this point.
We were able to locate a few Dark Falcons at our local Walmart, but this is likely to be a very popular set (the LEGO site already indicates that it is backordered). If you want to own it, you might want to act quickly.
If you do purchase The Dark Falcon playset, let us know your thoughts.
