LEGO Star Wars set 7140, X-wing Fighter, depicts the Rebel starfighter associated with Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance. Released in 1999, it belongs to the Star Wars theme and contains 271 pieces, with a character selection suited to a Rebel base setting.

X-wing Fighter 7140 is one of the early LEGO sets based on Star Wars. The model presents the Rebel starfighter in a play-oriented form, recognizable through its X-shaped wing layout and central cockpit. Within the theme, it supports hangar scenes, flight preparation and space battle play centered on the Rebel Alliance.

The build uses 271 pieces and focuses on the main outline of the spacecraft. The set includes 4 figures: R2-D2 with a white dome, Luke Skywalker in an orange Rebel pilot outfit, a Rebel technician or ground crew member with a large moustache and Biggs Darklighter. Key areas include the fuselage, wings, cockpit and astromech position.

The set is suitable for play, display and collection, especially for documenting the early LEGO Star Wars range. On display, it serves as a compact representation of the X-wing. Alongside other Star Wars sets, it fits naturally with Rebel Alliance vehicles, pilots and ground support scenes.
