LEGO Star Wars Slave 1 MOC Microfighter Build DIY

Follow along to build your own LEGO Star Wars Slave 1 MOC microfighter.

While LEGO has released many Star Wars microfighter sets over the years, Boba Fett and his Slave One have been left behind. LEGO has created many other versions of the Slave I – from UCS to minis, but only a couple that are microfighter scale. And those are not widely available. So we created our own Star Wars Slave One MOC at microfighter scale.

The custom ship seats a LEGO minifigure in the cockpit in two orientations. When the Slave One is vertical, the single control panel piece is removed so that the minifigure can sit upright.

The Slave 1 (or Slave One) is a Firespray model ship. This Firespray creation uses many speciality parts and several rare parts in colors that required special ordering from resellers. It includes a small clear LEGO attachment to allow the ship to stand vertically. Vertical is the standard flying mode for the Firespray.

Here’s our Rebrickable page where you can get the plans and parts list for a small fee.

The Slave 1 was made infamous by the bounty hunters Jango Fett and his son Boba Fett. It was originally part of a small fleet of prototypes, but when Jango stole the Slave I from the prison planet Oovo IV he destroyed the other ships during his escape. Jango and later Boba modified the ship to become the Slave I. For many years the Slave I was the only Firespray in existence. Years later the Firespray design was revived by its manufacturer Kuat Systems Engineering to serve in its original role as a small patrol and attack ship.

BB-8 real droid (BB8) from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, was out among the fans at Star Wars Celebration Orlando. Several BB-8 droids made appearances over the weekend, in the Droid Room, on the Exhibit Floor, and in the Droid Parade.

Watch BB-8 join R2D2, other Star Wars droids, and cosplayers to give real life photo ops to Star Wars fans at Celebration.

BB-8 was everywhere this Celebration, as a real droid, as the Sphero BB-8, in LEGO, and even as a custom car.

Thank you to the BB-8 droid builders, custom car owners, cosplayers, and Lucasfilms for sharing their work with the rest of us. The official Star Wars displays and the talks were great. But other fans were a big part of making Celebration so fun. Thank you!

Star Wars Celebration 2017

“Next time, be here you must. The possibility, I foresee.”

Star Wars Celebration 2017 Orlando was phenomenal. Star Wars cosplay, droids, toys, cars, LEGO …. all here and more. (Star Wars Celebration is the official name of the Star Wars convention. Many other fan events are called “cons” – this one is called “Celebration”). Fan-built BB-8 droids were out on the floor, along with many other droids.

Star Wars Celebration 2017 Orlando

There is so much happening at Celebration – it can be hard to take in. Video captures some of the flavor. Here is our Star Wars Celebration 2017 video.

The video was recorded mostly on the Exhibition floor and the Convention hallways.

The Star Wars fan groups have a very strong presence. 501st, Rebel Alliance, Mandalorian Mercs, Droidbuilders, the Diorama Workshop, and many more attend. Fan participation is a huge part of Celebration. Not only in cosplay, but also with many booth activities meant for families and to support charities.

Droids

The droids were everywhere at Celebration. Each day, a droid parade came through the floor. The Droid Builders had an elaborate and very fun display in the Droid Builder room. The droids added so much enjoyment for everyone, especially the new addition, BB-8. Take a look at our BB-8 post here, with photos and a link to our first Celebration video featuring BB-8 on the exhibit floor.

Mandalorian Mercs Cosplay

The Mandalorian Mercs were out in force. They had an interactive booth on the floor, with their vehicles and helmets on display. Here the Mercs are out in full Mandalorian armor after marching through the convention floor. Yet another example of great Star Wars cosplay.

Star Wars Celebration is great fun for the serious Star Wars fan. Professionals from Lucasfilm, Disney, and other companies participate in the panel sessions. You may get the chance to hear from Star Wars actors, voice actors. writers, artists, composers, technical professionals, podcasters, collectors … the list goes on. Star Wars Celebration is the Star Wars convention for fans. Presenters are the top talent in the Star Wars universe.

The next Star Wars Celebration

We hope to see you at a Star Wars Celebration soon.
