What happens when the rules of the galaxy get tossed into a black hole? You get LEGO’s wildest Star Wars mash-up yet.
When Canon Crashes into Creativity
The Rebuild the Galaxy special on Disney+ tossed Star Wars lore into a blender, and LEGO has gleefully scooped out the chunky bits to serve us something spectacularly odd: set 75393, the TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up. A playful love letter to imagination, this kit asks the timeless question: “What if we built both ships wrong… on purpose?”
I knew I had to get my hands on it the moment I saw a TIE-wing coming at me sideways.
A Star Wars Set That Breaks All the Rules
With 1,063 pieces, this is no quick build, but it’s not intimidating either. Designed for builders aged 9 and up, it lets you create two completely bonkers mash-up starfighters:
- The TIE-wing: an X-wing hull lashed to classic TIE solar panels. Weirdly aerodynamic.
- The X-fighter: a TIE pod strapped to X-wing wings. It looks like it belongs in a Mandalorian fever dream.
Both come equipped with opening cockpits, spring-loaded shooters, and cleverly engineered detach points that allow you to reassemble them into the traditional TIE Fighter and X-wing. The transformation is satisfying and intuitive, perfect for kids or collectors who love options.
Adding to the chaos are five characters:
- Sig Greebling, the set’s exclusive mystery rogue.
- Yesi Scala, wielding a gaffi stick like she means business.
- A Rebel Pilot and TIE Pilot, both fully geared.
- L3-G0, a delightfully compact droid who slots behind the cockpit like a loyal space co-pilot.
Why This Set Stands Out
You’re not just getting two ships in one box – you’re getting four. The dual build modes (mash-up and classic) mean there’s no such thing as buyer’s remorse. Kids will love the madcap storytelling potential, while AFOLs (adult fans of LEGO) will be quietly admiring the design mechanics hidden beneath the absurdity.
The detail is sharp. The X-wing wings have proper S-foils and adjustable landing gear, and the TIE cockpit boasts interior room that doesn’t sacrifice the model’s shape. The use of locking pins for modularity is brilliant, encouraging creativity without making the whole thing feel fragile.
Galactic Extras
Did You Know? “Sig Greebling” is a nod to the LEGO term “greebling” – the practice of adding fine detail to models to make them look more complex.
Pro Tip: Want your own mash-up variant? Mix one X-wing wing with one TIE solar panel and see what unholy hybrid you create.
Mod Suggestions: Add flickering LEDs in the engines or a baseplate diorama showing the ships clashing in a mirrored dogfight.
