Rarity
Uncommon. This specific version represents the updated 'Bespin' Luke with modern printing standards, widely available but highly desirable.
Head
Dual-sided light flesh head. Side one: determined/angry expression with furrowed brow. Side two: distressed/bruised (from Bespin duel). Medium nougat hair swept to the right.
Torso
Dark bluish gray torso with utility tactical vest printing. Features silver buckles, pocket flaps, a center zipper line, and a bronze-colored commlink on the left chest. Dark blue arms with black hands.
Legs
Plain black legs without printing. These represent his boots and trousers transition in the Bespin/Death Star II scenes.
Accessories
Typically paired with a blue lightsaber (trans-light blue 4L bar and metallic silver hilt) and a DL-44 heavy blaster pistol. None pictured in the provided image.
Color Scheme
A tactical palette of Dark Bluish Gray, Black, and Dark Blue, accented by light flesh skin tones and nougat hair.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back). Features crisp lines on the utility belt and buckles. The head features high detail on the second side (scratches/bruising).
Variants
Derived from the ultra-rare sw0107 (2003) and the sw0825 (2017). This specific sw1155 variant features the updated hair mold and modern face printing compared to the early 2000s yellow-skin versions.
Condition Notes
Look for cracking under the arms or on the sides of the torso. The nougat hair piece is prone to tooth marks (if played with by children). The print on the chest buckles can fade with heavy handling.
Estimated Value
Used: $12.00 - $18.00 USD; New: $22.00 - $28.00 USD. Value varies based on hair piece condition and presence of the lightsaber.
Price (New)
Originally included in sets ranging from $40 (75302 Imperial Shuttle) to $350+ (75222 Betrayal at Cloud City).
Compatible Sets
75302 Imperial Shuttle (2021), 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City (contextual variant), and 75291 Death Star Final Duel.
Character Background
Luke Skywalker as seen during the climax of The Empire Strikes Back and the beginning of Return of the Jedi. This outfit is worn during his duel with Darth Vader on Bespin and his rescue mission to Jabba's palace.
Design Notes
The transition from the old tan jumpsuit to this darker gray/black aesthetic reflects the character's journey toward the dark side and his eventual Jedi Knighthood.
Similar Minifigures
sw0107 (original 2003 Bespin Luke), sw0825 (2017 version with tan jumpsuit), sw1141 (General Lando Calrissian).
Collectibility
High. While not as expensive as the 2003 Cloud City Luke, every Star Wars collector requires a version of Bespin Luke for their dioramas.
History
First debuted in 'flesh' tones in 2003. This specific updated print was part of LEGO's effort to standardize flesh tones and higher detail for the Master Builder Series and subsequent waves.
Interesting Facts
The 'distressed' face print is one of the few times LEGO depicts realistic injury (bruising/scratches) on a hero character's face.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a Bespin gantry MOC or a Med-bay scene. Pairs perfectly with the 20th Anniversary Boba Fett or the Bespin Leia minifigures.
Modification Potential
Excellent. The dark gray torso is a staple for custom tactical soldiers or 'purist' Resistance fighters in MOCs.
Overall Assessment
9/10. An essential, high-quality representation of a cinematic icon. It balances modern printing detail with classic LEGO playability.
