Notes: Once a member of the Jedi
council, Yoda fled to the planet Dagobah to escape the jedi purge that
swept the galaxy. After the battle of Hoth, Luke Skywalker flew his X-Wing
fighter with R2-D2 to the planet Dagobah to meet Yoda. Luke first meets
Yoda after crashing his ship in to the swamp. At first he doiesn't realize
that this dimuitive creature is the great jedi master Obi-Wan spoke of.
However, after Yoda brings him to his home, the truth of his identitiy
is revealed. Luke then was trained in the way of the jedi until he had
a vision of hsi friends in danger and he rushed off to try and help them.
Luke did return to Yoda, and was present when the jedi master died and
faded away.
A nice little kit showing the student
(Luke) at his master's (Yoda) side. The top of the of the "house" lifts
off so you can see the interior with Luke and Yoda. Painting was fun with
the various textures involved. I always enjoy paiting Yoda, even at this
scale he is filled with detail. The R2-D2 figure is also quite good.
