Set 8097, “Slave I”, depicts Boba Fett’s ship in the LEGO Star Wars theme. Released in 2010, it contains 563 pieces and 3 minifigures, with a line-up tied to bounty hunters and Han Solo.
Set 8097 builds the Slave I, the distinctive ship associated with Boba Fett in the Star Wars universe. Within the LEGO Star Wars theme, the subject is closely linked to the bounty hunter storyline and to a ship profile that stands apart from many more conventional spacecraft designs.
The build uses 563 pieces to create a compact model with angled surfaces and a form intended to suggest the ship’s unusual silhouette.
Among sets in the same theme, it is best placed as a Slave I model with a focused character selection rather than as a generic spacecraft. Bossk and Han Solo help define the narrative setting, while Boba Fett gives the model its central identity.
