8089 Hoth Wampa Cave The set 8089 Hoth Wampa Cave was released in July / August of 2010 as part of the LEGO Classic Star Wars line . The set consists of 297 pieces , and includes a Wampa , Luke Skywalker ( Hoth ) , a Skeleton , and Zev Senesca minifigure s . Some notable features include a Snowspeeder with a winch and an opening windshield , a snow cave with a full skeleton and spine for the Wampa to feed on , a place to hang Luke from the ceiling like in " Episode V : The Empire Strikes Back " , and a feature allowing for the release of Luke ' s Lightsaber . This set adds to the growing number of LEGO Star Wars sets based on the snow planet Hoth , and the battle that took place there , celebrating the 30th anniversary of " Episode V " . Description . The set is made up of two main parts ; the snow cave and the Rebel Snowspeeder . The Snowspeeder is almost identical in design to the vehicle of the same name released in 2007 in the set 7666 Hoth Rebel Base . It features an opening windshield - with the ability to open the whole thing , or just the front half to allow access to just the pilot - which reveals the interior , able to seat two minifigures , one pilot and one gunner . Every version of the Snowspeeder build in System scale , has been released with a small 2x2 sloping brick with an AT - AT shadow printed on the computer targeting screen . This set includes the same computer as in past sets , but with a slightly tweaked print . Also on the back of the Snowspeeder is the rotating blaster and winch . The winch can be unwound by turning the small TECHNIC gear on the back . The winch is used to trip - up the large AT - AT walkers , allowing you to combine this set and Snowspeeder with 8129 AT - AT Walker to recreate the scene from " Episode V " . The snow cave , or " Wampa Cave " as it ' s officially called by LEGO , is a small brick - built room meant to look similar to the cave in which Luke was taken in the movie . Although being referred to as a " cave " , the structure is more just the entrance to the cave than the actual cave itself . On the ceiling under the main entrance is a place to hang Luke . To the right of him , is a mechanism for releasing his Lightsaber , just as he used the Force to retrieve his weapon from the ice . If you push down on the plate above the weapon , it launches the Lightsaber out into the centre of the chamber . Also in the room is a skeleton , presumably some lifeform consumed by the Wampa long ago and a chicken leg . There is also a sort of spine looking - like piece build for the Wampa to chew on , as in " The Empire Strikes Back " scene . Of the minifigure s included in this model , two of them are exclusive , and one of which is only available in one other set . Luke Skywalker was released in what was previously known as " Hoth " gear , otherwise known as his Rebel Pilot suit , since 1999 , but was not until this year , released in the actual Hoth gear that he wore on the planet prior to piloting his X - Wing off the planet . He features the 2010 Hoth Rebel Trooper helmet and goggles , previously only seen in the other 2010 set 8083 Rebel Trooper Battle Pack . The Wampa marks the second LEGO Star Wars creature released in recent years , the other being the Tauntaun , from the ice planet Hoth . The Wampa has the ability to hold a minifigure scale chicken leg in its right hand , and an entire minifigure in the other . A feature promoted by LEGO is the ability to pick up the Luke minifigure included in the set . Also included is the rebel pilot , Zev Senesca , who was previously only available in the set 8083 Rebel Trooper Battle Pack , the first time a named minifigure was included in a Battle Pack . There is also a Skeleton from the LEGO Castle theme .
