75017 Duel on Geonosis is a Star Wars set to be released in 2013. It features the epic Lightsaber Duel between Count Dooku and Master Yoda in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

Description

The set is base on Count Dooku’s secret hanger on Geonosis. The set comes with 4 new minifigures and 3 exclusive Minifigures (FA-4 will also be released in 75023 Star Wars Advent Calendar).

The set in its entirety

The set features several arches that represent the curved Geonosian architecture seen within Dooku’s hanger. Connected to the arches is a large archway with a landing pad for Count Dooku’s speeder. Attached to the top of the archway is a light fitting. Next to the entrance is a hidden storage compartment for Dooku’s Force Lightning.


Storage compartment and archway

One of the play features is a column which has a lever that can cause it to topple over. This is reference to a scene in the movie where Count Dooku causes a column to fall over with the force.


Yoda & the toppling column

Attached to Yoda’s back is a bracket that is attached to a pole so that he can be moved about to re-enact the flips he does in the movie. In Poggle the Lesser’s hand is a LEGO brick that represents the Death Star plans he later gives to Count Dooku. FA-4 acts as the pilot of Count Dooku's Solar Sailer despite it not being in the set.

Background

After Count Dooku is given the Death Star plans by Poggle the Lesser he escapes from the Geonosian Arena on his speeder bike. Followed by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives at his secret hanger bay. After a small fight with the two Jedi Dooku decapitates Anakin’s right arm and badly injures Obi-Wan. Yoda soon arrives and after a duel with him, Dooku uses the force to knock down a large pillar on top of Anakin and Obi-Wan. While Yoda uses the force to stop the pillar from falling while Dooku escapes onboard his Solar Sailer pilot by a FA-4 droid. Padmé Amidala arrives with a group of Clone Troopers just as Dooku leaves.
