LEGO Star Wars 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship review

LEGO Star Wars 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship takes a tried and tested formula to show exactly how downsizing can sometimes work quite brilliantly.

Sometimes the LEGO Star Wars team know exactly what’s needed when it comes to designing a new set: ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. And that’s very much the thinking behind 2025’s 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship, for here we have an updated, recoloured version of a 2021 set that worked so well the first time and, four years on, works very well yet again.

We are of course talking about 75312 Boba Fett’s Starship that released in 2021 and that this August’s 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship is very much based on, with only a few parts and colour swaps to tell them apart.

Back in 2021, at the very beginning of what has since evolved into an era of downsized LEGO sets, 75312 Boba Fett’s Starship released to a lot of praise. Directly inspired by the mini Slave I from 2018’s 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City and following on from early groundwork from 75301 Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter, here was a familiar ship reimagined at a new scale that delivered enough detail and features intrinsic to the source material, all within a LEGO-first experience that put affordable, hands-on play back at the forefront of the set.

75312 features all the key points identifiable to Boba Fett’s version of the Slave I including rotating wings, the ability to sit Boba in flight and landing mode orientation, storage space underneath the loading ramp for Han Solo in carbonite, and, even at this smaller scale, the curved bodywork and uniquely-angled fuselage that is at once so unusual and iconic about this ship.

On top of all this is a small handle built into the underside for one-handed, authentic play, and a very clever little loading vessel that doubles up as a display stand for the model. All of this was also delivered at a (relatively) budget-friendly price of £44.99 / $49.99 / €49.99 and a relatively tight piece count of 593. 75312 Boba Fett’s Starship was fairly priced, looks great and plays even better.

So, with 2025 turning its attention back to Fett Snr. what with the release of 75408 Jango Fett Helmet and the Ultimate Collector Series 75409 Jango Fett’s Starship, what better time to revisit the concept of 75312 for an updated, recoloured version for Jango Fett? That’s exactly what the LEGO Star Wars team have done in the form of 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship and, very smartly (and in spite of growing frustration elsewhere with downsized LEGO Star Wars sets) they have kept the same formula in place and changed only the colours, updated some parts and offered a couple of fixes.

That’s all 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship needed to do to be a success, it does it, and we love it just as much as we loved 75312 Boba Fett’s Starship four years ago. The colour swap is simple but very well achieved at this much smaller scale than we’ve just built across Jango’s UCS Slave I, while swapping around the non-firing weapons at the tip of the body for the stud shooters in the centre makes sense and doesn’t detract from the look of the model.

The rotating wings have been improved as they are now linked together and more effortlessly move as you change from landing to flight mode, while the ramp stores one of two included seismic charges and a little hatch opens on the underside to release them. The seating in the cockpit is set in flight mode (as we saw in Attack of the Clones) with space for both Jango and young Boba to fit within.

The bodywork comes together in pretty much the same way with very few changes in which pieces are used, and most of the extra parts here (707 vs. 593 from 2021) seemingly go towards the extra minifigure included (the very welcome Lama Su) and a chunkier side vehicle that once again doubles up as a display stand for the set.

For the extra minifigure and extra parts, and the extra four years of economic instability, the price of the model has risen by 33%, which is no small amount and does offer ever-so-slightly worse value. But this remains a faultless model with an excellent minifigure line-up, particularly if you don’t mind plain arms on your Jango Fett, as then he and the identical Boba Fett are a lot cheaper to get here than in the UCS version.

75433 Jango Fett’s Starship takes a formula that worked four years ago and successfully applies it again to this 2025 set for a stand-out, hands-on, all-round fun LEGO Star Wars set, and a perfect example for where downsized sets do have a valid place within the theme.

That is very much said with one eye firmly on the scrutiny some of the other August 2025 sets are getting for also coming in at much smaller scales than their on-screen counterparts, but very much failing to impress. Why does downsizing work so well for the Slave I both in 2021 and now in 2025, where it falls apart so badly for the likes of 75413 Republic Juggernaut and (to a lesser extent) 75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT?

Price and purpose are the reasons. The LEGO Star Wars team talked back in 2021 about the ideals that were driving downsizing of sets primarily being based around offering authentic, fun and playable LEGO Star Wars sets at affordable prices. When all of this criteria is met, a downsized LEGO Star Wars set offers something enjoyable and true to the LEGO experience, at a reasonable price. If extra detail and authenticity can be worked into the LEGO set as well, then it’s a real success.

The likes of 75413 Republic Juggernaut and 75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT are coming in at way too high of a price to be affordable to most of us, and so the downsized designs feel cheap in value. Meanwhile, other, lower-priced playsets such as the recent 75399 Rebel U-wing Starfighter struggle to find the right balance between accuracy and LEGO experience and leave us with nothing from either – case in point with the U-Wing, not being able to credibly fit any of the minifigures inside a ship otherwise designed for carrying quite a few around.

75433 Jango Fett’s Starship and 75312 Boba Fett’s Starship before it work because they have been designed at a good budget and with the prioritisation of the LEGO experience first and foremost – they are the perfect answer to the question: what would be the most fun, playable version of this ship that we could build?  

75433 Jango Fett’s Starship and 75312 Boba Fett’s Starship comparison

75433 Jango Fett’s Starship very much takes inspiration from 2021’s 75312 Boba Fett’s Starship and a quick side-by-side shows you all you need to know on that. Beyond the recolour and a couple of changes specific to the respective character’s version of Slave I, these are the same build split across two sets. And for how good the model is, we don’t blame the LEGO Group.

Our honest opinion: 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship very much follows in the path of what came before to great success, delivering a stand-out set from the August 2025 range.
