LEGO Star Wars set 7961 depicts Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator. Released in 2011, it contains 479 pieces and belongs to the Star Wars theme, with 4 minifigures connected to the characters surrounding this part of the saga.

Set 7961 focuses on Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator, a vehicle closely associated with the character in the Star Wars universe. Within LEGO Star Wars, it represents a character driven spacecraft rather than a broad location build, placing the Sith presence at the centre of the model.

The build is centred on the ship’s profile and recognisable exterior details, with the included figures providing the main narrative context.

It suits display, character based play, and collecting within the Star Wars theme. Compared with other sets in the same theme, it is best viewed as a personal vehicle for Darth Maul, supported by a focused minifigure selection that lets the model stand alongside related Star Wars builds.
