The A Wing Interceptor starfighter was one of the fastest and most maneuverable fighter spacecraft in the rebel fleet, requiring highly skilled pilots to fly them into battle and attack enemy spacecraft - it was used in the attack on the second Death Star.

Two large thrusters powered this small cockpit through space and the small size allowed only the slimmest rebels to pilot it.

Rotating laser canons, which were also controlled by the pilot, allowed for all-round covering fire and enabled pilots to open fire on persuing Imperial fighters in star fights.

In the Star Wars movies the A Wing starfighter can be seen in a few shots in the Battle of Endor, in the movie Episode VI; The Return of the Jedi, and it is most obvious when one crashes into the bridge of an Imperial Star Destroyer and bringing it down to the cheers of the rebels; you can see it in the video clip on the right.

Interested fans can learn more about the A Wing fighter in Wookiepedia's RZ-1 A-wing Interceptor page.

The Lego A Wing 6207 is an interesting model to assemble, relatively simple, for ages 7 to 12 (and of course older fans) which measures around 11 inches once completed, in a cool red and white colour scheme.

This Lego starfighter is a smart and sleek design and reflects quite accurately the design of the A Wing as seen in the Star Wars original movies and is armed with rotating blaster guns.; a great addition to any fans' Lego rebel starfleet.

The Lego Mini Figures

Two Star Wars Lego mini figures come with the Star Wars Lego A Wing 6207; they are an A Wing Rebel Pilot to fly the ship and a rebel technician. Both of these characters are rare Lego mini figures.

Other Features

This 194 piece Lego set has a couple of other interesting features; a small cargo hold with opening door and opening canopy so that the pilot can be placed inside the ship. A rebel cargo speeder is also included with this set, which is driven by the rebel technician.

Brand new in the package.
