Over the past week or so there have been leaked images of a new 18+ LEGO® Star Wars set doing the rounds. The set in question was rumoured to be a Star Wars Celebration exclusive item, that was before the dark time, before COVID-19. Now the set, called Bespin Duel is expected to be available through alternative retail channels. One of which is Toys R Us Canada, who have also revealed official images of the set, after the sets instructions were also added to LEGO.com. Bespin Duel recreates that iconic moment of Cloud City, where (spoiler alert) Darth Vader reveals he is Luke’s father. As mentioned this is an 18+ set, despite being very much smaller than most of the previous 18+ sets. It will be exclusive to TRU in Canada, so expect it to also be a retailer exclusive set in various other countries. In the US that could be Target and in the UK and Europe, possibly Smyths Toys. Although this is yet to be confirmed. Its also hoped the set will be available directly from LEGO. Check out the set below.
