LEGO Star Wars set 8038, “The Battle of Endor”, depicts the Endor battle within the Star Wars universe. Released in 2009, it contains 890 pieces and belongs to the main Star Wars theme.

This model represents a recognizable scene from the Star Wars saga, the Battle of Endor. Within LEGO Star Wars, it belongs to the group of sets that combine a setting with Rebel characters, Imperial forces and Ewoks, rather than focusing only on a single vehicle.

The set includes 890 pieces and 11 minifigures. The listed figures are Chewbacca, R2-D2 with a light bluish gray dome, a Scout Trooper, Chief Chirpa, Wicket, Princess Leia in Endor outfit, Paploo, a Death Star Trooper or Imperial Trooper, Han Solo and two Rebel Troopers in Endor uniform. This mix gives the set a broad cast across the opposing sides of the scene.

It suits builders who want a character based play scene, as well as collectors interested in the Endor segment of LEGO Star Wars. Compared with Star Wars sets centered on ships or vehicles, 8038 is better understood as an environment and minifigure driven release within the theme.
