The Star Wars films are filled with iconic moments, particularly the first one. So it’s not surprising that two of the new LEGO® Star Wars Diorama Collection sets are inspired by A New Hope. This set is slightly different to others as it is microscale and doesn’t include any minifigures. But what it lacks in minifigures, it more than makes up for in detail.
