Insights

Retired in Episode III-era production, Ultimate Lightsaber Duel, a Mustafar duel set with era-specific minifigure variants, has seen durable collector interest driven by scarcity and film recognition, and later smaller remakes reduced direct substitution while adding some volatility risk.

“Lego Star Wars 7257 Ultimate Lightsaber Duel from “Revenge of the Sith.” The Ultimate Lightsaber Duel occurred in the aftermath of the Mission to Mustafar, in which Darth Vader slaughtered the entire Separatist Council in the Great Jedi Purge to end the Clone Wars.”

Full review at www.brickwars-sets.com

BrickEconomy Member Review

“The LEGO set 7257 Ultimate Lightsaber Duel, inspired by the climactic battle between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, is perfect for recreating iconic Jedi fight scenes. The set features two light-up minifigures with batteries in their torsos and small wires running to their molded arms and lightsabers. However, the torsos and legs are glued, and the arms and lightsabers are non-removable, which limits customization.”

About Star Wars Episode III

Episode III covers Revenge of the Sith, the last of the prequel films, released in 2005. Its first wave came out that spring, the same season as LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, which retold the prequels in bricks and took the theme far beyond the toy shelf. The wave included 7251 Darth Vader Transformation, the scene on the medical table where Anakin first wears the suit.

Episode III consists of 50 sets that ran from 2005 to 2027. As of today, 7283 Ultimate Space Battle is the most valuable Episode III set with an estimated new/sealed value of $1,860.
