Brickbot_Studio is back again, and today we’re looking at one of the most chaotic ships I’ve ever seen in a Star Wars set. LEGO Star Wars 75414 The Force Burner Snowspeeder is a wild ride from start to finish, packed with vibrant colors, strangely delightful design choices, and a trio of absolutely fantastic minifigures. Whether you’re here for the builds, the figs, or the lightsaber nunchucks (yes, you read that right), this one definitely leaves an impression.

The Minifigures
This set comes with three unique characters: Darth Dev, Sig Greebling, and Solitus, each armed with lightsabers in distinct colors. Dev wields a red blade, Sig carries a striking new orange variant, and Solitus dual-wields purple-bladed nunchucks linked by a short black chain. There’s no shortage of personality or weapon variety here.
Sig and Dev both include dual-sided faces, with expressions ranging from existential confusion to smug delight. LEGO really embraced the eccentricity of this theme, and the facial prints reflect that energy perfectly.
Sig’s new orange lightsaber blade is a long overdue addition to the color palette. It replaces the older neon orange with the modern transparent orange. Honestly, it is surprising we didn’t see this color used last year for Shin Hati or Baylan Skoll in the Ahsoka sets. It would have been perfect. Still, I’m glad it’s finally made its debut.
Solitus is the standout for me. (Apparently, he’s Jedi Bob’s former master, thanks Wookieepedia!) He’s a Duros with a green skin tone instead of the classic blue we’ve seen in past figures like Cad Bane or Duros pilots. It gives him a distinctive look while still feeling recognizable. His printing looks excellent with a detailed robe, cloth cape, and black hood.
His purple lightsaber nunchucks might be the single most ridiculous weapon LEGO has ever produced, and I love it. The chain element works fine, but I would have loved to see it in a new color or even using the new chain mold we’ve seen in dark bluish grey and pearl gold. Maybe I just want parts in new fun colors, but a chain in pearl dark grey to match his lightsaber hilts would have elevated the whole insane accessory.
All three minifigures feature excellent printing, with some seriously bold design choices that immediately set them apart from standard Star Wars fare. Dev’s torso printing instantly reminds me of Starkiller from The Force Unleashed, complete with armored paneling and flat silver highlights As someone who enjoys figbarfing and building custom MOCs, I can already see endless potential for these figure parts.
The Vehicles
The centerpiece of the set is the Force Burner Snowspeeder, a black, red, and yellow hotrod of a vehicle that looks like it came screaming out of a Saturday morning cartoon. The build is relatively compact but packed with visual flair, covered in black and yellow flame stickers across the stabilizers and hull. These decals bring the speeder to life, although they do require a steady hand during application which for some is a mighty pain in the buns.
The cockpit canopy is one of the highlights. It’s dual molded in black and trans-yellow, which is going to send Blacktron fans into a frenzy. The shape is sleek, and the yellow tint gives the whole thing a fun retro vibe.
One of the best features is the detachable speeder bike mounted inside the Force Burner’s body. The co-pilot can pop off mid-flight and zip around independently. It’s a fun and intuitive play feature, and it integrates neatly into the build without sacrificing structure. A stud shooter turret on the rear adds a bit more action to the set, although it feels like an afterthought compared to the rest of the design.
Also included is a dark blue STAP, traditionally a Separatist droid vehicle, but here ridden by Solitus. It’s a slim little build, but packed with character. My favorite part is the use of 1×3 round plates in dark blue, which are a fantastic addition to my parts library and something I’ve personally been waiting to use in bot builds for ages. The color scheme looks great and adds a splash of contrast against the louder speeder design.
Final Thoughts
The Force Burner Snowspeeder is one of those rare sets that feels like it was designed with pure creative chaos in mind. From the mismatched aesthetics to the bizarre character lineup and weapon choices, everything here feels bold and experimental. And somehow, it all works.
The minifigures are excellent, with standout prints, unique accessories, and genuinely useful parts for custom builders. The Force Burner itself is packed with detail and flair, though it definitely leans more toward stylized play than accurate in-universe representation. The STAP build is a pleasant bonus, especially for anyone into less traditional vehicles.
That being said, the price is hard to ignore. Like many sets in the August wave, this one feels just a bit too expensive for what’s included. The value is there if you love the designs or plan to repurpose the parts, but casual buyers might balk at the cost.
Lastly, I have to admit that I’m still unfamiliar with most of these characters, which makes it hard to judge how well the designs match their onscreen appearances. But taken on its own merits, this set is full of color, attitude, and strange charm. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re into wild builds and minifigures that break the mold, this one’s worth a closer look.
Releasing on August 1, LEGO Star Wars 75414 The Force Burner Snowspeeder contains 349 pieces and can be pre-ordered now for US $54.99 | CAN $64.99 | UK £44.99. It may also be available from third-party retail sites like eBay or Amazon.
Nice review, I’ve been curious about this one sence it was anounced. Something I have found to help with sticker placement is an adults only technique and that is to a sip a beer/hard seltzer or two while building to help relax you a little.
