About the LEGO®Star Wars™Design Team
LEGO®StarWars started in 1999, and we have made new models for the product line every year since then. The LEGOStarWars
design team consists of six to eight model designers and three graphic designers. The team is a mix of new designers with fresh
ideas, and experienced LEGOStarWars designers with many models under their belts.
This is an ideal team for creating new, innovative LEGOStarWars models, as well as revising and
improving previous LEGO versions of classic and iconic Star Wars ships. The focus of our
main LEGOStarWars product line is to make cool, fun, and inspiring LEGOStarWars
models for kids.
For LEGO Direct we have the opportunity to make even bigger, more
challenging models with special attention to accuracy and
details. These models are fun and exciting to develop, but
also a huge challenge! We always do our very best, and
hope that you will enjoy the building experience.
Happy building!

About Slave I ™
Slave I was originally a prototype police vehicle from
Kuat Systems Engineering, and its official name was
Firespray-31 patrol and attack craft. Only six were
made in the entire galaxy, and they were used on the
asteroid prison Oovo 4. Infamous bounty hunter Jango
Fett stole one of the six prototypes during a prison riot
on the asteroid, and during his escape, launched two
missiles into the hangar bay where the other five were
kept. Jango Fett renamed the only remaining Firespray
starship Slave I, and it became his most frequent mode
of transportation.
Unlike most starships, Slave I sits flat on its bottom
surface when idle, and rotates ninety degrees to fly
vertically. The original prototype was a well-armed
starship, and included two heavy twin blaster cannons
as well as two rapid-fire laser cannons. Other weapons
included projectile launchers, homing missiles, and
a naval minelayer with seismic charges. Because the
Firesprays were intended to be prisoner transports, they
were heavily armoured and contained large holding cells
within the vehicle.

Jango Fett made numerous alterations to Slave I,
including larger, upgraded Kuat drive engines and power
generators, which made even a ship as small as Slave I
capable of sublight speed, usually seen only in Y-wing
Starfighters.
In the years following Jango’s death, the ship underwent
heavy modifications, including the addition of a cloaking
device, proton torpedoes, and a stolen sensor masking
and jamming array, which makes the ship essentially
invisible to almost all sensors and allows it to sneak into
any planet or Imperial Centre without being detected.
Perhaps most famously, Boba Fett used Slave I to
transport Han Solo’s carbon-frozen body to Jabba the
Hutt on Tatooine to collect the bounty on Han Solo.
Boba Fett continued to use primarily Slave I to capture
bounties, and the ship became feared throughout the
galaxy.

Model Designer Hans Burkhard Schlömer
Meet the Model Designer
Q: How long have you been a LEGO®Star Wars
model designer?
A: I’ve been a LEGO®designer for close to six years now. Last
summer I was asked to “help out a little bit” on LEGO Star Wars.
So I expected to build a small speeder to go along with a larg-
er set or something like that. Well, surprise! Instead of going
on vacation, I spent the whole summer in Billund designing the
next Ultimate Collector’s Series set. That was even better than
a vacation!
Q: How was designing the Slave I different from your work on
other LEGO Star Wars models?
A: It actually wasn’t very different; the Slave I is just quite a big
set. Usually I design the first version of a set in LEGO Digital
Designer. When I’m happy with that, I go ahead and build a
version with bricks. It’s much faster to apply changes digitally
than to build new versions, especially with a model of this size!
Q: The Slave I flies vertically, but rotates to dock
horizontally when not in use, did that present you with a chal-
lenge while designing this feature of the set?
A: Not really! UCS Star Wars sets usually come with a display
stand, so the idea was to show the ship in flight mode anyway.
Figuring out how to connect the stand to the model in a secure
way was a challenge from a technical point of view, though.
And when landed, the ship seems to hover. This is why there
are transparent “spacers” on the underside of the base. It also
makes it easier to pick up the model.

Q: How did you plan the design for the Slave I? Did you use
artist sketches or film stills to assist your creation of
the model?
A: Getting the shape and proportions of the ship right was the
main priority. For exterior details I had screen shots from the
movies and reference material supplied by Lucasfilm. While
looking at cross sections of the original Slave I, I realised that
while it’s filled with cool features, weapons, and living space,
it is completely missing any internal support structure. Appar-
ently the hull is all it takes to hold the Slave I together, like an
eggshell. The biggest challenge in designing the model was
to create a sturdy but light support structure.
Q: Does this model feature/accomplish something that no
other LEGO®building set has? What elements or features
make it unique? Other than scale, what really sets this
version of the Slave I apart from previous LEGO versions?
A: This is the largest, most detailed LEGO®Slave I so far, and
more true to the original than previous versions. In fact, the
size of the model makes it both a collector series model and
a playset, because it actually is in minifigure-scale. Even the
underside of the model is very detailed, which is uncommon
in LEGO sets.
Q: Were any new elements or minifigures created for
this model?
A: A new, eight-brick-wide windscreen was created especially
for this Slave I in trans-clear, same as on the original movie
prop. Several other elements are exclusive to this set, in dark
red, dark green, and sand green. We included a Bespin
Guard and a Stormtrooper to go along with Boba and Han so
that kids can re-enact the scene on the Cloud City landing
platform when Boba Fett boards his craft with his frozen
trophy.
Q: How long did this take to design? How many people worked
on designing it?
A: I needed a week from the first draft in LEGO Digital
Designer to the first brick-built copy. Then it took almost three
months, until the final model review, to create this set. I was
the only designer assigned to this task, but of course I had
plenty of assistance from colleagues. My technical coach,
Anders G. Christensen, especially had a hand in optimising
the internal structure of the ship.
Q: What are you most proud of on this model?
A: Of course I am most proud of having been chosen to
design the whole set in the first place. I’m a huge Star Wars
fan, and the Slave I is an iconic spacecraft - one of the
remaining few that haven’t been produced as a LEGO
collector’s edition already. Having been able to create the
next addition to my sizeable collection of LEGO Star Wars
sets myself feels great!
