The Young Jedi are an absolutely brilliant way of getting our own young Padawans involved with Star Wars. A children's show totally focused on positive values that include teamwork, focus and friendship. It has been great for us and it is awesome to see that Lego created sets based on this cast. I recently reviewed the Tenoo Jedi Temple set and I’m thrilled to also be able to discuss this set that my children have also enjoyed.
Crimson Firehawk
If you talk to my generation then when it comes to an iconic Star Wars ship we are all instantly going to the Millenium Falcon, it’s obvious, but in 2026 there are a lot more iconic ships beyond this one and the Crimson Firehawk is the showstopping piece in this Lego set as well as being the name of ship that rolls of the tongue for my younglings.
The set is rated as 4+ with 136 Lego pieces included. This ship is large but this is due to it being constructed from some seriously large preformed lego shapes instead of many more small pieces. It’s cool because what a model that the children get to play with. I’m so impressed that it has a full Cargo hold on it to hold all the cast of this lego set as well as other accessories. This is the most challenging element of the Lego build but very achievable for children and they love the final product here.
What’s even greater is this amazing ship also has the pilot, Nash Durango, included in the set. Another highly detailed lego mini figure that better enables the children to recreate their favourite Young Jedi adventures that they have watched, or come up with their own new adventures. I’ve been so impressed with the detail in this set.
Nubs (Young Jedi)
My children were so excited to see this mini, Nubs. The last of the Young Jedi they required to complete the gang and they were thrilled. It’s another highly detailed Lego Jedi mini with another lightsaber to boot. Plenty of adventure for this young Jedi.
Talking of the other accessories, Nub’s speeder and the final character in this set, RJ-83. Another character droid from the universe of Star Wars to support Nubs and Nash in their ongoing adventures. The speeder is an awesome accessory to further enhance this play and creativity for your younglings.
A BBQ?
I could not get my head around these components. There is a BBQ set contained within as well as some other Lego accessories. It must be linked to a particular episode perhaps but it provides some useful items to enhance the play. There is also a small market place set up which again provides further accessories for the play, completing the set here.
Given the set is for 4+, one very cool feature that parents will appreciate with this one is that there isn’t a single sticker in sight. My children have been very frustrated by stickers in the past, so to see everything already printed is a useful bonus.
Final Thoughts
The Crimson Firehawk set is an excellent addition to the Star Wars Lego series. A really accessible set for young children that offers a challenging build followed up with endless play opportunities. It is a great starting point for a young Lego builder.
