LEGO Star Wars 75081 T-16 SKYHOPPER Review! (2015)

[@Bamboozlenoodle]

Not many people notice, but his full scale T16 is sitting right there in the background when he plays with the toy version. It's the one he used to shoot Womp Rats in Beggar's Canyon.

[@Kristianxvx]

Luke actually owns a T-16, as he wanted to be in the Imperial Academy which is mentioned in A New Hope. He used his T-16 to shoot womp rats as target practice.

[@WhiskeyShred]

You can see it in the movie, it’s behind Luke as he’s playing with the toy

[@Kristianxvx]

@@WhiskeyShred also in the 90s when Kenner re-released/made new stuff for the re-release of ANH/ESB/ROTJ the t-16 is actually labelled Lukes T-16

[@javinparyani5460]

Jesus Christ that’s the first sign of a serial killer you freak!

[@Karter0311]

@@Kristianxvx As well the sky hopper had similar controls to a x wing so that’s where Luke has his skill from

[@generalalexei3090]

Like in obi wan kenobi the skyhopper was given by obi wan.

[@TheBrickBrit]

One of the more underrated LEGO Star Wars sets I’d say! Would love to see a Tusken raider figure with a new head like in the book of boba for the next one!

[@cringebob3337]

It was one of my first sets of not my first lego set I ever got, I wish I have it now but most of the old sets I had are either destroyed or stolen.

[@georgieporgie10]

@@cringebob3337 pain, I have a massive bin full of mixed up pieces that make soooo many sets. I just rebuilt my mace windu's starfighter it's so nice

[@FOXY_GAMER3008]

Hi

[@LegoWarriorInc]

Yeah i agree, apart from the spring loaded shooters I think this set is pretty cool but sadly quite underrated

[@jewelsandbrix2197]

Luke playing with the t-16 is super memorable, but I grew up with o.t. Luke also mentions it before the trench run. Also super memorable

[@lordwisehammer]

In legends it's famous for being widely available and it's controls being almost identical to the X-Wing which is why so many civilian pilots could easily join the Alliance and fly against the empire with little training. Also we now know you can bullseye a womp rat with T-16 back home.

[@AD_BricksnMore]

I have this set and I remember playing with it A LOT when it came out and I was younger. Something I noticed recently was that the pilot’s helmet in this set has the same markings as the old helmet Luke uses for his lightsaber practice with that training droid on the Falcon in A New Hope.

[@dustyfedora]

3:24 I actually like how the sticker doesn’t cover the whole thing, it makes it look like it’s got more paneling like a ship in star wars does.

[@danibobstudios]

what good timing with the obi wan show finale!

[@LegoWarriorInc]

I used to not like this set, but Ryan can make any set be better

[@gopherdude8814]

You can see the sky hopper in the back ground when Luke’s playing with the mini toy version

[@josephesquin443]

Ryan if you ever make a list on underrated Lego star wars sets this should be on the list.

[@justinphillips991]

You can also build a supersize t-16 out of the 6211 star destroyer with alternate instructions from Lego.

[@chriscummings4206]

This is one of those extras that LEGO makes for a theme that while it really didn’t need to be made it exist, unlike a lot of other things that we need sets of but hey, who am I to complain! I just keep on buying, I just keep shoveling money towards LEGO hoping it’s not feeding the furnace of the Titanic....don’t want to sound negative!

[@cowerdnerddespacito9518]

1:06 I’m also pretty sure that weird metal in the doorway is also a T16 sky hopper

[@landenpalmer1045]

yeah you can’t tell that it’s the rod on the top wing and then that part that comes down with the engine

[@EpicJasonX9000]

it's also in ANH in the background, which is parked on the right of the door when he's cleaning up the droids. he even mentions later in the film that he used to shoot womprats with his T-16 during the Death Star briefing.

[@Komiekilla]

The T-16 is also in the background of that scene when he is playing with the model. Pause the screen and look all the way to the right.

[@First-Drop-Studios]

I really liked this set when I got it. I was not that old so I didn’t know it was from episode 4. It’s surprising it was only 25 dollars.

[@CanadaBricks]

Nowadays, LEGO would probably charge $40 because why the hell not

[@OgGuak420]

Also last episode of Kenobi

[@spongboing2425]

@@CanadaBricks considering how much that obi wan vs Vader duel set costs, I honestly think this would genuinely be $40 if it came out this year

[@ymirs4400]

I really like that this is a Star Wars vehicle that isn’t a war machine, like podracers. We need more sets like this

[@cringebob3337]

Bro this was one of my first ever lego sets I got, this is so nostalgic

[@Ian-Szucs]

2015 is such an underrated year

[@tinman3251]

2013-2016 were some of the best years for Lego star wars

[@JackStacks_1]

Im sad that I didn’t buy as many lego Star Wars legos during this time, could’ve been living the lego Star Wars dream rn

[@mr.blazer9084]

I love to see you make a video about my most OG set, as the first set I got was the t-16 sky hopper, and I’m glad my dad gave it as it got me in to Lego Star Wars and with that the whole Star Wars saga. So I really like it that you made a video of this set as it’s bringing up some nostalgia. And I agree with the part that it’s a really underrated set.

[@nightfall9897]

A set i still have from when i used to collect lego, now that im getting into lego again I’m really glad I still have it!

[@OurToyWorld]

Great review Ryan. I'm going to be honest, I forget this set existed! Now that I think about it, 2015 was a great year for LEGO Star wars fans. Good job hitting the womp rat too lol.

[@bennett4789]

id love to see an 18+ style version of the t-16, with a really tiled off and clean build. i think they could go above and beyond with the build at the same scale as luke's model and make a really nice display piece

[@TheFirstCurse1]

5:06 never been a fan of the T-16 Skyhopper until this moment. It looks like a Shark, specifically it reminds me of Sharkpedo from Pokemon. If they were all colored like this with Grey on the top and White on the bottom then I'd always love this thing.

[@Lucky2000Zx]

Happy to have this set, it is a great set to go alongside MBS Mos Eisley. (Also I think this is was the first set ever to have the new Tuskegee Raider head mold)

[@WhiskeyShred]

You can actually see the full sized T-16 in the scene where Luke is playing with the model, it’s behind him in the garage

[@turusan02]

I think it's also well known from the Rogue Squadron series, by anyone who has played it. It is the craft that you fly at your very first mission, when the player learns the controls. A training craft. I think it is only available in the first missions of every entry in that series, which also makes it kind of special.

[@CabbageFace_]

Can’t believe this was out in 2015…..time flies

[@scottdavis_34]

I purchased this set last year. Pleasantly surprised how good it is. Very underrated and somewhat forgotten. Curious if the set goes up now.

[@KCortum34]

This set WAS $60 until Ryan came out with this video😂

[@letstalkaboutstarwars3532]

I completely forgot about this set. Thanks for sharing!

[@Karter-wo2or]

Thanks for making a video about this it is an Awsome set and my first set so Awsome

[@NaD-o2p]

I used to have this set. I bought it mostly because of the Rogue Squadron games, because when I was little I would spend hours on the tutorial mission of Rogue Squadron 3 just flying around in the T-16 and happily minding my own business. Speaking of that game, I want TIE Hunters to make a return to canon.

[@CanadaBricks]

I always thought that the LEGO Tusken Raider head mould looked like a rubber band ball

[@jacklee7138]

Great set still remember getting this when it first came out when I was younger one thing for sure the pilot figure is great but unfortunately my figures arm got broken off which is disappointing because I can't even replace it with a new dark red arm because part of it is still lodged in the torso

[@jeremyobriant7266]

I think the emblem is a griffin, not a dragon. Not that it really matters. Just some clarification. Also, the Daughter from the Clone Wars turns into the form of a griffin, representing the Light Side of the Force (yes, I had to research that because I did not remember that).

[@AD_BricksnMore]

That’s really interesting!

[@NostalgiaGaming977]

Just watched episode 6 of Kenobi and this video comes out! Impeccable timing :)

[@jewelsandbrix2197]

Ryan always does this type of spoiling 😞

[@michaelnhana]

If you want to put him in without cracking, I suggests using the new seating system with the slide (like in Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter). It is sturdy, yet there is no stud.

[@Kaiserker]

I have this set and really like it. The fact that it's obscure makes me appreciate it more, and it's great for the retail price. You get an entire ship for 25 bucks, not bad at all.

[@lbricks7631]

I had this set, and had a blast with it.

[@UHEBallOfSomething]

I seen that set while I was young, I never got it though, but it was nostalgic seeing it

[@darthgamerplayz746]

[@UCSbuilder]

Wow underrated set this would be like 50 bucks if it came out now!

[@keeshandave8603]

The T-16 Skyhopper was a decent 2015 se. It was still a great set with the figure (most notable the the Skyhopper pilot) and the technic build of the Skyhopper. In fact, I still have this set as of today.

[@pastadinnertheater8657]

the t-16 skyhopper was also a vehicle in star wars rouge squadron for the n64 and had its own mission too that's what i remember it from

[@gorillatube3363]

holy cow 9.5! I've never seen u go so close to 10 out of 10 ryan

[@michaelnhana]

Imagine holding this toy and tells a young farmboy:"Hello there."

[@Catty872]

I always remember this as the ship you fly in the tutorial level of one of the rogue squadron games.

[@toontownlegomaster]

i remember seeing this set when I was a kid. Didn't really care for it but since we haven't seen it in such a long time might as well buy it cause will probably never see it again.

[@jarodreddig63]

Man your always making such great Lego reviews. Great ship. Wish I had picked it up.

[@imanpepion777]

@ryan hey if you look at luke playing with it in the background the back of the t-16 is there engine and all he has to walk by it when he is goes to his shop and in attack of the clones there is another ship there as well that was owens ship growing up a lot of people miss that

[@BANDIT-9947]

This ship can also be seen in Kenobi episode 1 or 2

[@SpongePreimium]

I just realized I had this set as a kid idk what happened to it but I remember having it

[@panfrei5932]

Fun fact, there is a ucs scale lego T-16 skyhopper, in shape of an alternative build for the 6211 star destroyer.

[@jewelsandbrix2197]

Also obi-wan tries to give Luke the famous t-16 toy in the Kenobi series but Owen doesn't want Luke to have it

[@CarsmanvidsYT]

Hi Ryan love your content it’s just so much joy to listen to your voice and I love your vlogs and you have like the most minifigures I’ve ever seen and I want to see an imperial army from like whatever you have I’m not asking to spend money to make the army but you’ve never made an imperial army

In the scene where Luke plays with the T-16 Skyhopper toy, the actual T-16 is in the background behind C3PO.

This was my first Lego star wars set ever! 🥲

[@alexbuono]

Today I learned - Luke’s T-16 is literally docked in the hanger bay in the background while he’s playing with the model.

[@toltori2445]

I wish they can bring a t 16 full size on screen, and have a memorable scene, not just a few frames

[@jedipokewho]

I really do not know the reason that made me bought this set during its time of release but looking at this set now it really did age well for a vehicle that's underrated.

Hi mate. I managed to buy this from eBay here in Australia new in box for equivalent to $38 us just in the past couple of weeks. I haven’t opened it as yet but box is in perfect condition.

[@thecopperowl8386]

I always liked the T-16, but was confused about its place in the movies, and were was Luke's? It was always a mystery to me but added to the allure of the vehicle.
