LEGO Star Wars 75365 YAVIN IV REBEL BASE Review! (2023)

LEGO Star Wars has long abstained from releasing a YAVIN 4 Rebel Base playset but that has finally changed! Set 75365 is the massive LEGO YAVIN IV set we've been waiting for... or is it? While it has an incredible 12 Minifigures, many LEGO Star Wars fans have pointed out the build looks too simplistic for $170. My review should help you see if this set is worth spending your money on!

I think that Lucas didn’t give chewy a medal because it would have been an inconvenience for Lego to add it to the minifigure.

This set is fine but to me it's just an upscaled 4+ set, the temple is very basic in shaping and not very appealing and the tree looks like it was taken directly from a juniors set. I like the chibi y-wing but the chibi slave one and tie advanced from previous years were much more effective in comparison. The figs are solid and the actual pieces for medals is an amazing inclusion. 7/10 imo

It’s a cool set since it was a once scrapped idea to see it become official. I would just say that tree for the outlook post could’ve definitely used more detail like maybe a tree you build with smaller pieces than those big parts. Other than that, I’m glad LEGO brought a new Original Trilogy set to the table.

For $170 the gunship or ghost is a much better option. My main issue is that there r a ton of sets releasing for more than $100 this year. Too much imo

This could have been the Mos Eisley replacement set if they had approached Yavin as a master builder series. The location aimed at an adult audience. Especially as this timeline for Yavin is from original film. A more complex, larger build. More detail. More vehicles. More minifigs to add volume to the scenes. Perfect accompaniment to Mos Eisley. Next a new reimagining MBS of the Death Star and you have the three main locations of the film covered.

do you ever think we'll get an R2 unit with a dome that spins? Seems like its an easy transition. A body with 1 peg instead of 4 would be a good start.

I am so glad that we _finally_ got Garven Dreis in minifigure form. We've had Jon Vander since the early 2000s, but Dreis never showed up until now.

I would buy it for the Y-Wing, it is so charming at that little scale!

OMG! LEGO has not made the 2x2 trans yellow dish since they released it in two parts packs in 1989 & 1991. It was only released in two Classic Space sets released in 1986, sets 1558 & 6874. This Classic Space fan is extremely happy about that!!!! 😁

Great job with the super consistent uploads! Great review as always, keep it up!

The weird thing with the Han face, which I believe they've done at least once before iirc, is that it's using the Young Han Solo face instead of the regular Han Solo face. The expression is good, but less facial lines to show that he's younger sticks out like a sore thumb when you realize it

9:09 In reference books some cross section of yavin 4 temple show a observation and communications room at the top with a satellite dish in it. Some other cross sections just keep that area covered and don't show what's there.

I'd love to see you combine a few of these sets together and combine with some of your regular sized ships. Your videos ROCK and thanks for being a great example for others.

Let me just say this: of all the diorama sets Lego has released from A New Hope. How in the force did they not make a diorama set for the medal ceremony? Is Yavin iconic? Yes. However I think we all remember it best for the ceremony at the end of A New Hope.

LEGO: take notes

[mrmanchicken]

The y-wing is SO GOOD! Especially in that smaller scale. Its much better then i expected

[jakknova]

Ryan: reviews whole set, and gets upset a several things

Also Ryan: the troop cart is amazingly accurate and I love it

[stevena]

I would love to see you expand the jungle around the base using all the Endor trees you have.

[ephraimmura]

Imagine getting two sets and combining it. It would make it a near perfect set.

[benfoxhall]

It has some cool features that are overly watered down by areas that feel incomplete.

[Caniac]

I wanted this set to be great and I was pumped up for it and then it came out.
