LEGO SET 40795 - Alternate build | Luke Skywalker (Rebel Pilot)
LEGO Set 40795-1 – Luke Skywalker (Rebel Pilot): The Best Alternate Builds You Can Make
When you first crack open LEGO BrickHeadz 40795-1: Luke Skywalker (Rebel Pilot), you’re greeted by a tight, Star Wars–flavored palette: safety orange, crisp white, light bluish gray, trans-clear, and a handful of small slopes, clips, and tiles that make the BrickHeadz silhouette pop. But those same parts are also perfect fuel for clever microscale starfighters, chunky droids, and scene gags straight out of Hoth. That’s the magic of alt builds—taking a character model and reimagining it as ships and figures from across the saga, all without raiding your wider collection.
Because BrickHeadz sets prioritize texture and color blocking, you’ve got lots of 1x1s, 1x2s, brackets, and SNOT bricks to help lock in angles and details at small scales. Curved slopes become domes and cowlings; grille tiles read as vents and panels; orange plates instantly shout “Rebel Alliance.” It’s a parts list that rewards micro building: you can sketch starfighter silhouettes with only a few pieces and still get that unmistakable Star Wars identity. Even better, these alt builds are speedy—perfect for a one-evening build session—yet satisfying to mod if you want to tweak wing geometry, landing feet, or droid heads.
Below you’ll find a curated list of stand-out alternate models you can build using only the pieces from 40795. They range from a playful upside-down Falcon to a stout TIE and a charming R2-style droid, plus a seasonal Hoth nod.
