Lego 75135 and 75038 Jedi Interceptor

I'm really very happy to get my hands on the Lego 75135 Star Wars Jedi Interceptor with Obi-Wan Kenobi as it's pilot and R4-P17 as its astromech droid. I can finally let the two Jedi Knights; Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker fly side by side just like in the Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith where they battle in the skies together before Anakin's fall to the Dark Side. 

Let me take you through the difference between the 75038 Anakin Skywalker Jedi Interceptor and the 75135 Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi Interceptor now ^_^ Let us take a look at the front view of the two Jedi Interceptor with the Jedi Knight pilots and astromech droids beside it. Don't you just love how things used to be like between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. By the way, the cape that Obi-Wan Kenobi is wearing in the pictures are not from the 75135 set but rather being put on by myself.

For the 75135 Obi-Wan Kenobi minifigure, I look how the facial expression reflects how Obi-Wan Kenobi felt during the battle up in space with Anakin as his R4-P17 astromech droid was being destroyer, both an angry and worried face lol.



And now comes the part where I find the 75135 Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi Interceptor not as attractive as the 75038 Anakin Skywalker Jedi Interceptor. Notice the way the astromech droids are positioned when they are loaded onto the interceptor? The R2-D2 unit are positioned way into the interceptor that only reveals it's head and the R4-P17 unit are way above which exposed almost half of it's body out. 

To be honest, if you've seen the Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith, you will notice that the astromech droids are supposed to be positioned lower which only reveals the head and not having half of it's body being exposed out. Won't that makes the astromech droids prone to blaster attacks?



And finally let us take a final look at the complete set of both the Jedi Interceptors. To be honest, I think the 75135 Jedi Interceptor is nice in terms of colors and the stickers which are pasted on both sides of the wings as compared to the 75038 Jedi Interceptor which makes it more nicer visually. However, the set backs was that the R4-P17 unit are too exposed since it should only reveal the astromech droid's head and that there are no controls or dashboard for Obi-Wan Kenobi to fly the interceptor as compared to Anakin Skywalker's Jedi Interceptor.
