Day 829, Quasi-Quarantine: Lego's Rebel Pilot Helmet Had Me Nostalgic For Jek Porkins


I finally got around to putting together Luke Skywalker's Red Five Helmet (set 75327), a birthday gift that had been lingering for a minute.

This was my first crack at one of the "Lego for Adults" (18 and older) helmet sets, and it was very satisfying to see the disparate elements come together and the way various pieces were repurposed for other uses.

Though somewhat smaller than expected, this 675-piece set includes an integrated display stand and some compelling color combinations. The final result had me ready to run the Death Star trench in pursuit of cosmic fame.
