General Grievous's Starfighter is the third adaptation of the General's personnel starfighter. The set number is 75286-1 and is the second of General Grievous's starfighters that is based on Revenge of The Sith.This set comes with three minifigures, General Grievous, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and an Airborne Clone Trooper. The set has 487 pieces and sells at the price of $80. This set is $30 more than the last version of Grievous's ship, which was $50, and the first General Grievous starfighter was $30 cheaper than the second one. While the pricing of the set continues to go up, so does the quality of the build and minifigures go up as well.

The Minifigures:

General Grievous — Grievous is the Supreme Commander of the droid armies and thus he is a rather important character during the Clone Wars. Grievous comes with all four of his lightsabers just like he has in the previous six sets that he has come in. This variation of Grievous is nothing new, since the same figure came out in General Grievous's Wheel bike from 2014, and General Grievous's Combat Speeder from 2018. This Grievous is white and gray and has the same amount of detail and articulation that the previous Grievous minifigures had. It would have been nice to get a new version of Grievous, or at least have Grievous as tan, like he was in the film. Nonetheless, this figure of General Grievous is still good quality and this is a great set to pick up the fiendish droid general in.

Obi-Wan Kenobi — This is the second set that this version of Obi-Wan has come in, the first being the Duel on Mustafar set that came out earlier this year. This version of the jedi master comes with his lightsaber, as well a blaster pistol, which he uses later on in the fight to kill the cyborg general. However, the odd part with this variation of Kenobi is that he has the burnt marks on his jedi robes, which he did not have until the end of the film long after Grievous had been killed. This makes this figure technically inaccurate to the set and is a little disappointing. Nonetheless, Kenobi is still a great minifigure and it is still nice to get him in another set.

The Airborne Clone Trooper — This figure, much like the Obi-Wan minifig, was another controversial piece that added to the set. Prior to this set being release, there was many speculating on whom this character could be. Some thought that it was going to be a Phase 2 Commander Cody, others thought that it was going to be a new magnaguard. These guesses proved to be all wrong thou, as the mysterious figure was a new Airborne Clone Trooper. While this might not be the figure that people wanted it is still a good figure and is a nice addition to this set. The Clone comes with a regular blaster, and has new printing on his torso. Another cool new detail is that all the clones this year have a new head print, which they have not got since 2013. This is the second set that a 212th Airborne Trooper has come out in, and while this may not be the figure that everyone wanted, it is still a good figure to have and adds to the set quite nicely.

The Set: When a set has already been made it can be challenging for the designers to go in and make a new and updated version of a popular set. Sometimes it goes well, and other times it goes very poorly. However, this is not one of those cases of the remake being worse. The designer of the ship is just as if not better than the previous two sets. The ship is about the same size as the original, and has an even more sleek build to the ship, than the 2010 ship. The cockpit uses the same piece for the windshield, however this time the windshield more printing of it which is great. The cockpit opens up just like the 2010 version, however, unlike the 2010 version, the cockpit does not stay shut, so if you move the ship around the cockpit will open up and your figure will fall out. Inside the cockpit, there are two printed control pieces which are on either side, and there is plenty of room inside for Grievous to sit in with all four of his ams. Something that he was not able to do in the 2010 set. The engines of the ship are rather bulky and large, however they do have a rather sleek design to them. The 2010 version of this set had a secret compartment that could open and reveal two flick fire missiles, two on each side of the ship. The 2020 version has a similar feature, however instead of missiles, there is room to store two of Grievous's lightsabers in each engine when he is flying in his ship. The design of the ship has a more accurate color scheme with only a few pieces sticking out. Overall, this design of this ship has greatly improved with a great amount of features that are integrated into the ship rather well.

Conclusion:

This is the third version of General Grievous's Starfighter, and while the ship looks mostly the same, the design of the ship has greatly improved. The big complaint about this set that I have seen so far, is that there is no Commander Cody, and Obi-Wan is the same from the Duel on Mustafar set. While both of these are true, I do not believe that it takes anything away from the set. While getting Cody would have been amazing, the Airborne Trooper is still a good-looking figure and a nice inclusion. Obi-Wan on the other hand, I see no problem with getting the same figure again. I know that the burn marks on his robes are not there till the duel on Mustafar, however, this is not the first time that Lego has included figures that do not belong in the set, or where not there in that scene. For some this figure of Obi-Wan will be the end of the world, they say that Lego is lazy or that Lego does not care. These are the people who push Lego to make a certain product, and when Lego does, but it's not exactly what they want, they turn on Lego in a heartbeat. Anyway, another issue with this set is the price. The set costs $80 for only 487 pieces, and while this is rather high, the pricing does make sense. When looking at the set you should look at the price to piece ratio as well as the amount of stuff that you get in the set. You could buy a set with a lot of pieces, but the build is rather small because all of those pieces are little. On the other hand, you could buy a set with very few pieces, but the build is big because the set contains several bigger pieces. To conclude, this is a great set to pick up if you do not own an older version of this set and is definitely worth picking up.
