LEGO Star Wars set 9490, “Droid Escape”, is a 2012 model focused on a droid escape in the Star Wars universe. It contains 137 pieces and belongs to the main Star Wars theme.

“Droid Escape” presents a focused subject from the Star Wars licence: droids on the run, with desert equipped Imperial troops included in the scene. In the supplied data, the set is assigned directly to the Star Wars theme, with no more specific theme path listed.

The set contains 137 pieces and 4 minifigures. The lineup consists of C-3PO in pearl gold with colorful wires and plain legs, R2-D2 with a light bluish gray dome, a Sandtrooper Sergeant with white pauldron, neck bracket and printed black head, and a Sandtrooper Squad Leader / Captain with orange pauldron, neck bracket and printed black head.

This set suits collectors who want a compact Star Wars scene built around named characters, and it also works for play because the droids and sandtroopers create a clear narrative contrast. Within the Star Wars theme, it can be viewed as a small, figure focused set that complements broader displays rather than dominating them.
