Notes[edit | edit source]

This X-Wing Fighter appeared on the front of a LEGO catalog.
The instruction booklet had a mini comic at the end that shows Luke crash on Dagobah, where he met Biggs and the Rebel Mechanic. The comic included alternate creations that could be made with the X-Wing Fighter: a sort of jetboat whose "cockpit" could be ejected as a smaller jetski; a human-scale cellphone-like communicator; a two-legged mech; a long, narrow spaceship; and a human-scale lightsaber handle.
This set was re-released as 7142 X-Wing Fighter.
This is the first Star Wars set ever released.

Take to the skies with Luke as he battles the forces of evil! Just like the real X-Wing fighter, the wings adjust from wide to narrow for maximum maneuverability in battle. Luke is armed with his lightsaber just in case it comes down to hand-to-hand combat. Comes with ground crew person and transport with tools to prepare the X-Wing for its next mission.
