Speaking of other models, Malen used his Venator alongside creations from other LEGO builders, including an Imperial light frigate and a couple of V-wing starfighters, all of which are attacking a Rebel starship. Additionally, Malen chose to add the smaller engines that are often forgotten in other Venator models. The ship is the Empire’s and Darth Vader’s flagship from A New Hope. The use of hinge plates to build the cowling around the engine was a great choice. LEGO’s next Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series (UCS) set has officially been announced as 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer. Is it lava on Mustafar? Is it molten slag from an orbital bombardment? Regardless, it looks incredible.īut wait, there’s more! The engines on the Venator can be tricky to make, but again here’s another success for Malen. Malen managed to pull it off while building it on a super cool base. So many LEGO models of the Venator try but fail to get the angles just right (looking at you, LEGO set 8039). I’m thrilled to see all of the angles on this Venator look exactly like we see in Revenge of the Sith. There are relatively few brick studs on the hull, helping me see the armor plating that I would expect to see on an Imperial warship. The first word that comes to mind when I look at this Star Wars capital ship is smooth. LEGO builder Malen Garek shows one example of this with the Venator-class Star Destroyer. Even after the fall of the Republic, remnants of that bygone era continued to exist in the service of the Empire.
