For purist Star Wars Fans the Clone Wars animated movie and TV series is too much of a deviation from the original feel of Star Wars to be considered part of the universe. Others who enjoy a good story with appealing characters, and are not so fixated on the canon, can appreciate the entertainment that The Clone Wars offers.
Lego has been making sets based on the series for a couple of years now as part of their 2010 wave have released set 8128, Cad Ban's Speeder. Can Bane, for those not in the loop, is the villain of late Season one and Season two. He is prominent in the last two episodes of Season one, entitled Hostage Crisis where he captured the Senate Building on Coruscant, ostensibly to free the crime lord Ziro The Hutt.
This set is also featured in Hostage Crisis and comes with five figures; an Assassin Droid, Cad Bane, bad-guy Shahan Alama, a generic Senate Commando and the Senate Commando Captain, Jayfon who has a pivotal role in the episode. The two Senate Commando's were previously only available with the large Republic cruiser set so are a welcome addition here. At the time of writing Cad Bane is only available in one other set so this is also a cheaper alternative to get this significant villain.
The Speeder itself is very nice, apart from the unfortunate presence of stickers. It is screen accurate with a number of seating areas in the middle and a cargo bay at the rear. It's very "swooshable" and kids will have a great time transporting their minifigs from one destination to the other. It's about 10 inches (25.4cm) long which is a good size, large enough to play with or display easily and uses a variety of clever techniques in the building.
With a price of $49.99 pieces it fits with Lego' s current tendency to overprice these Star Wars sets but with a number of rare figures and a pretty sweet ride, it may be a bit of a sleeper hit.
