But everyone else is an unknown quantity. My pre-reading of ‘Everything I can get my hands on pertaining to Star Wars’ tells me that, right now, the film is approaching the final triumphant moment: The Rebellion are assaulting the Death Star, and are being picked off one by one, particularly since Darth Vader and his escorts have entered the fray. I am sitting in the Belgrave Cameo in March, 1978. Image: Sherbook Foothills Historical Society archive, shared on facebook. The cinema expanded onto neighbouring lots subsequent to this photo, but when I saw STAR WARS there in 1978, there was only the one screen. The original facade of the Belgrave Cameo, which was upgraded in the 1980’s. So, how does it fare? Is it a reasonable build, with interesting details? Or is it a big slab of grey, missing all of the things that made the Dagobah set such a highlight in the release calendar for the year? Read on, and perhaps you might decide that this is the set you have long been waiting for. Today, I would like to go the the other extreme in design for these Star Wars models: occupying the same footprint as Dagoboh, the 75329 LEGO Star Wars Death Star Trench Run diorama features 3 visible colours in the scenery, a more induction, inorganic design than Dagobah as well as no minifigures, 2 TIE Fighter’s Darth Vader’s Advanced TIE and an X-wing fighter – All in microscale. With a clearly defined border, an exclusive R2-D2 minifigure, along with Luke and Yoda, this set gave us a glorious rendition of an organic swamp landscape, with different earth tones, greens, a swamp of varying depths and plant life. Last week we took a look at the new LEGO Star Wars Diorama Dabobah Jedi Training Ground. This year seems to be the Official Year of the Diorama, with 3 LEGO® Star Wars dioramas announced last week, as well as one in Jurassic Park.
