The Luke Skywalker Pilot Star Wars Minifigure was first seen in Episode IV A New Hope and is featured in a number of Star Wars LEGO Sets.

Luke has orange leg and torso pieces depicting a Rebel pilot’s flight suit, and unique head with red and white helmet piece.

The most recent The Luke Skywalker Pilot is available in the 2012 Star Wars LEGO Set X-Wing Starfighter along with Jek Porkins, R2-D2 and R5-D8.

The TIE Pilot Lego Star Wars Minifigure is from the Episode IV A New Hope and was initially released in 2001, and has recently had another redesign for 2012. These Imperial pilots control TIE Fighters, Interceptors and Bombers. The new new helmet design utilises the same mould as the AT-AT Pilot’s helmet.

TIE pilots wear recognizable black armor which has life support systems on it and one appears in the 2012 Lego Star Wars TIE Fighter 9492 along with a Death Star Trooper, Imperial Trooper, and R5-J2 Droid.

The Imperial Trooper Lego Star Wars Minifigure or Death Star Guard features in both Episode IV A New Hope and Episode VI Return of the Jedi. Dressed all in black he is part of a handpicked, elite fighting force that can handle a number of combat and non-combat roles for the Imperial Navy.

Redeigned for 2012, the Death Star Trooper Minifigure’s only difference from the original one is his new helmet and he appears in the Star Wars Lego Set TIE Fighter 9492 along with a TIE Fighter Pilot, Imperial Officer, and R5-J2 Droid.

The original minifigure appeares aboard the Lego Death Star 10188 and at The Battle of Endor 8038.

The Imperial Trooper is the only minifigure to wear a black helmet.

The 2012 C-3PO Star Wars Minifigure is the sixth variant. The original minifigure was released in 2000 and was a light gold colour. Since 2007 C-3PO has been a darker shade of gold, and this redesign now shows new coloured rewiring.

He is one of only a few characters to appear in all six films, along with R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.

The C-3PO minifigure appears in the 2012 Star Wars Lego set Droid Escape 9490 along with R2-D2 and 2 Imperial Sandtroopers.
