LEGO Star Wars set 4502, X-wing Fighter, represents the X-wing starfighter from the saga. Released in 2003 under the Star Wars theme, it contains 564 pieces and 3 minifigures focused on Luke Skywalker, Yoda, and R2-D2.
Set 4502 belongs to the LEGO Star Wars theme and presents the X-wing, one of the license’s most recognizable starfighters. The minifigure selection gives the model a Dagobah context, linking the ship to Luke Skywalker’s training rather than treating it only as a space combat vehicle.
The build uses 564 pieces. The included minifigures are Luke Skywalker in Dagobah outfit with yellow skin and a sand green tank top with neck bracket, Yoda with a plain sand green head, and R2-D2 with a white dome and 30361a body. This lineup defines the set’s scene value.
The set suits collectors who want a LEGO Star Wars X-wing for display, as well as builders who prefer character based play. Within the Star Wars range, 4502 can be placed as a thematic X-wing release, notable for pairing the starfighter with Dagobah related characters.
