Unlocking the Galaxy: Creative Alternate Builds for LEGO 75317-1 The Mandalorian & The Child

Step into a dimly lit workshop on the fringes of the Outer Rim. A single desk lamp casts long shadows across scattered bricks, hinting at adventures both past and yet to come. You’ve just unboxed LEGO set 75317-1—the adorable BrickHeadz duo of the Mandalorian and his tarnished charge, the Child. But beyond this heartwarming scene lies a universe of untold possibilities, where textured plates become starship hulls, and minuscule pieces transform into towering droids. Imagine Grogu piloting an armored mech suit, IG-11 standing sentinel over a hidden refuge, or a micro-scale Razor Crest evading Imperial pursuit—all built from the very same bricks you hold now.

This isn’t just about following instructions—it’s about reimagining the story. What if the Mandalorian traded his blaster for a ceremonial spear and stood watch atop a sandstone mesa? Or envision Baby Yoda in a botanical exosuit, nurturing a delicate plant embryo on an uncharted moon. As you sort through every piece—those rounded slopes, the printed tiles, the slick curved slopes—you’ll discover endless narratives waiting to be crafted. Each alternate build is a tribute to the ingenuity of the LEGO community: designers who dared to look beyond the printed guide and sketch their own tales in brick form. Ready your imagination and prepare to embark on a creative journey across hyperspace. Below, you’ll find a curated selection of the most inspiring alternate models, each built using only the elements from set 75317-1. Let’s build a galaxy of possibilities together.
