Inspired by the scene inThe Empire Strikes Backwhere Yoda lifts Luke Skywalker’s sunken X-Wing out of the swamp, this X-Wing comes encased in a little diorama set that can be lifted by lever as if Yoda himself was using the Force to make it happen. The X-Wing even has swamp weed painted on it, and the package has the silhouettes of Luke, R2-D2 and Yoda looking on as the ship rises out of the water.
