Reimagining the Duel: Alternate Builds for LEGO SET 75269-1 – Duel on Mustafar

The fiery planet Mustafar, with its rivers of molten lava and obsidian spires, stands as one of the most iconic backdrops in the Star Wars saga. In Duel on Mustafar, the classic confrontation between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker is immortalized in minifigure scale, capturing the drama and danger of that volcanic battlefield. Yet, beneath the surface of this set lies an opportunity for boundless creativity: what else could emerge from these sculpted lava banks and scattered technic elements?

Imagine transforming the molten landscape into a hellish forge, where mechanical beasts are born from the fiery depths—gigantic lava dragons whose scales glint with translucent bricks, or rugged mining vehicles drilling into the planet’s crust in search of rare kyber crystals. Picture an Imperial outpost precariously perched on a basalt cliff, complete with defense turrets and a landing pad for TIE fighters, their dark forms stark against the glowing orange sky. Perhaps you’d rather craft a Jedi sanctuary hidden within virtual caverns, a place of meditation where Force-sensitive monks harness volcanic energy for ancient rituals.

These alternative MOCs invite builders to look beyond the duel. The same pieces that create smoke-stacked furnaces and minifigure walkways can be repurposed into gothic mansions, sprawling industrial complexes, or even entirely new creatures born of imagination. By focusing on the textural contrast between smooth hoses, angular panels, and translucent flame elements, you can capture the tension between destruction and creation that defines Mustafar itself.

Below are five standout MOCs—alternate builds and creative modifications. Dive into these designs to spark your own volcanic visions and discover fresh narratives waiting to erupt from your LEGO collection.
