With new sets unavailable on the immediate horizon, we set our sights on yet another build that we already owned but was laying in pieces around the playroom in various boxes or cobbled onto other creations.
Kanan's Speeder Bike (75141) is another retired set, this one based on the Star Wars Rebels series. This set is comprised of only 234 pieces, but it is a nifty build that allows you to run missions to steal weapons from the Empire -- a popular plot point in Star Wars Rebels.
The speeder bike has a really sleek look, with a green color scheme that matches Kanan's ensemble. The cargo containers are clever and include pre-printed pieces with the Imperial logo. These two boxes hold blasters and thermal detonators, and they can be attached to the back of the speeder bike for a quick getaway.
Two of the three included minifigures represent two major highlights for this small set. Pre-blindness Jedi Kanan Jarrus comes with a lightsaber, a distinctive printed torso, and his trademark ponytail.
The Imperial Combat Driver is another really unique minifigure, with gray coloration, helmet, and head printing that separate it from other Imperial henchmen. A standard Stormtrooper is also included.
Between Ezra Bridger's hideout, the Ghost, and the Phantom, we've been trying our best to build out the Rebels universe. Rediscovering Kanan's presence and adding another slick vehicle to the mix goes a long way in that effort.
Now, if we could only find an affordable Zeb "Karabast!" Orrelios ...
