The price point seemed high so I bought it during a holiday 20% discount sale for $63.99 USD.

Up front, I like the build.  She seems sturdy and has the hidden Easter eggs for Leia giving R2 the plans which you only see during the build. The ship has a lot of gribble for this scale. I think if I was reducing my collections, my second version UCS ship would be on the market.

My wife bought me a variety of the "Light My Bricks" sets (a different topic) and that company has a light kit for this set I may purchase.

"The ship has a lot of gribble for this scale".  Do you maybe mean greebling, a building technique described in the article below? I am honestly trying to figure out what is gribble.
