On top of that, there are so many Minifigures and many of them are not available in any other sets. However, the build experience is nostalgic and fun.

Averaging this with the design score gives an overall Minifigure rating of 88%.Īt full price, Mos Eisley comes at a fairly average value. Consequently, you get a good number of characters for a set this big. Comparatively, True North Bricks’ average is 170 bricks per fig. In a 3187-piece kit, the brick-to-fig ratio works out to 145 bricks per Minifigure. If we add R2-D2 and the dewback to the character count, there are 22 figurines included with Mos Eisley. I will not go through them all here… but that’s a lot. The only real negative about these characters is that two come with stumpy legs. They have special features that do not allow for printing on both sides of the head.
This negates the usual loss of points for lacking double-sided faces in my opinion. Interestingly, nine of them have specially molded heads. Additionally, all characters have front and back torso printing, five characters have double sided faces, and seven have leg printing. Of the 20 characters, nine are unique to this set. In addition, you also get R2-D2 (which counts as a minifig) and a dewback. Or maybe chemistry itself is full of Star Wars Easter eggs that we just don’t know about.Mos Eisley includes a whopping 20 Minifigures. But, to be fair, carboneto merely means carbide in Portuguese, so this might just be a funny coincidence. Some Easter egg hunters believe this to be a reference to carbonite, the otherworldly substance that is used to freeze Han Solo and deliver him to Jabba, the Hutt in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Empire Strikes Back. In a scene from the movie, as Indy is fighting a rival on a Portuguese boat, they are surrounded by barrels containing a substance identified as “carboneto”. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is the only entry to the Indiana Jones film franchise not to feature a direct reference to a Star Wars movie, though some fans claim that there is indeed an Easter egg to be found there. This seemingly innocuous line is a Star Wars staple, having been uttered by many of the space opera franchise’s characters, from Luke Skywalker ( Mark Hamill) to Obi-Wan Kenobi to, of course, Harrison Ford’s Han Solo. As the titular Crystal Skulls come to life, Indiana Jones mutters to his son, Mutt ( Shia LaBeouf), “I have a bad feeling about this”. This time, however, the homage is not to just one character, but to a whole lot of them. In the critically panned 2008 revival Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, there is also a nod to Star Wars. It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but they're definitely there.
The duo is none other than R2-D2 ( Kenny Baker) and C-3PO going for a walk in Ancient Egypt. It’s the image of what seems to be an odd man pointing at something that looks like nothing if not a very familiar oval-headed white-and-blue droid. As Indy is lifting the rock that covers the container, one of the glyphs becomes more visible than the others. The pillar is decorated with a large gold snake, as well as some hieroglyphs. Jones and his partner are opening the rock sarcophagus that holds the ark, a golden pillar can be seen just at Indy’s right. It’s to these hieroglyphs that you should be paying attention, by now, if, like Indy, you are looking for some hidden treasure. It is an ancient, underground temple, filled with statues of Anubis, sarcophaguses, and walls decorated with hieroglyphs - a classic ancient Egyptian set-up. In possession of yet another legendary artifact, the Staff of Ra, that reveals the location of the Ark, Indy heads to the lost city of Tanis, in which the Nazis have set up camp.Īt about the one-hour mark, Indy and Sallah finally reach the spot in which the Ark is said to be hidden. Indiana Jones travels to Egypt to try and stop the Nazis from finding the Ark. Accompanied by his reluctant partner and former lover Marion Ravenwood ( Karen Allen), Dr. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, the artifact is being sought out by a group of Nazi officers who believe it to be capable of turning their army invincible. The titular Lost Ark, as religious history would have it, is the container in which the ancient Hebrews safeguarded the original Ten Commandments that Moses received from God. They appear just as Indy and his associate, Sallah ( John Rhys-Davies), are about to find the Ark of the Covenant. It’s a brief cameo featuring two droids that the imperial forces turned the city of Mos Eisley upside-down for in the original Star Wars movie, now best known as Star Wars: Episode VI - A New Hope.
