LEGO Star Wars UCS Jabba’s Sail Barge 75397 Official Announcement!

Tuesday, September 17th, 2024 by Brickfinder

We always know when a major LEGO Star Wars set is about to be announced as right on cue, the leaks will appear just a day before.

This time, it is for the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Jabba’s Sail Barge (75397) that finally gives a bit of representation to the Return of the Jedi movie that was lacking under the UCS label.

The build is essentially a collection of mini-dioramas of the iconic scenes that took place on Jabba’s luxury transport in the third of the original movies.

As you can see, the side panels can be lowered to reveal the internals and the deck of the ship can also be removed.

The barge clocks in at 3942pcs and measures 77cm from bow to stern.

The set will be accompanied by 11 minifigures in the form of Bib Fortuna, Princess Leia, C-3PO, Max Rebo, Kithaba, Vizam, Wooof, Gamorrean Guard, Jabba the Hutt, Salacious Crumb and R2-D2 (With mobile bar accessory).The recommended retail price for the set will be USD499.99 /  €499.99 /￡429.99 / 799.99AUD / SGD719.90 / JPY69980.

The latest entry to the LEGO Star Wars UCS line will be available on October 3rd -5th for LEGO Insiders and October 6th for the public.

Overall, it is a decent addition to the LEGO Star Wars UCS line but I do feel that there are a lot of other vehicles that could use the UCS treatment like the AT-ST or perhaps even something from the expanded universe.

There is also a gift with purchase when you pick up the LEGO Star Wars UCS Jabba’s Sail Barge 75397 that comes in the form of Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber (40730).

It is a really nice complement to the Barge considering the significance in the movie but I would think that these gift with purchases would do very well if sold over the counter instead of gatekeeping it behind an expensive LEGO set.
