We are now less than a month away from seeing the final LEGO Star Wars D2C of 2024: 75397 Jabba's Sail Barge. The 18+ model leaked as early as February 2023 with the infamous survey leak which hinted at many sets that have released throughout the year and made their way onto shelves. 75397 will be one of the last few and with it will come a brand new LEGO Star Wars GWP of 40730 Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber.
As the name suggests, 40730 will be a brick recreation of Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber very similar to a previous promotional item 40483 Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber that released in 2021 alongside 75313 AT-AT. Three years later and we're getting another version of Luke's lightsaber as a GWP which will most likely instead be based on the weapon first used from Return of the Jedi onwards.
Unlike his first one which he lost during his lightsaber battle with Darth Vader, the one Luke yields in Return of the Jedi onwards is green rather than blue. However, in this brick-built LEGO form, the colours of the lightsaber won't matter as LEGO will be capturing the actual sabre hilt and all its much smaller, specific details. Along with the actual lightsaber, 40730 will also include a black display stand and small namplate,
