This new 'Star Wars' Lego set truly belongs among the clouds

Hello, what have we here?

One of Star Wars’ most iconic sequences is getting the Lego treatment. The plastic powerhouse has launched a new, 2,812-piece set called “Betrayal at Cloud City,” chronicling all the key Bespin scenes from Empire Strikes Back.

First up, we’ve got a carbonite freezing chamber – complete with a lever you can pull to freeze a certain scruffy-looking nerf herder.

You can also reenact the most awkward dinner party of all time in a dining room that seats five.

And of course, no Cloud City is complete without a dangerous sensor balcony for lightsaber battles and uncomfortable family revelations.

The set includes 18(!) Lego minifigures, plus two droids: Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, C-3PO, Lando Calrissian, Lobot, two Cloud City guards, two cloud car pilots, two Stormtroopers, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, R2-D2, IG-88, and an Ugnaught.

(Han and Leia come with two outfits: Bespin and Hoth. Perfect for making the transition from snowy Rebel base to glamorous city in the clouds.)

There’s also an external landing platform, perfect for welcoming everyone’s favorite bounty hunter and his ship, the Slave I.

Finally, the set also includes a twin-pod cloud car. This deal is getting better all the time.

The Betrayal at Cloud City set is part of the Lego Star Wars Master Builder Series and retails for $349.99. It’ll be available starting Oct. 1.
