Why does it come with a random white pair of pants? Did Lucas add a plot line around white pants in a special edition? Or did Disney making an adaption of the scary green pants with nobody inside them?

I have the original half-built in the basement. It was missing a bunch of pieces (a bag?) so I couldn’t complete it. 
Woulda been cool if there were exactly 208 more pieces.

Does it come with the miniature playboy centrefold in the cockpit like the original model?

Happened to me once…went to Lego online and told them what was missing. They sent me the missing parts and a nice letter apologizing. That was a few years ago but if I had to guess I think they would still do the same.

If this guy was boarding my spaceship I’d probably need a change of pants too.

It’s a really fun build, and led to me noticing the weird loudspeaker thing on the bottom and getting some fun answers from Pablo Hidalgo and Michael Okuda about what that particular greeblie is supposed to represent.
Who is paying £180 quid for this! Its lego…
So… do you not Lego? All the big sets cost $$$. Especially licensed ones. The price on this particular model hasn’t increased in 10 years when it was originally issued. So it’s effectively a better deal now than it was then!
Not really at 40 years old i could not tell you the last time i looked at my lego, theres 4 huge boxs, in the shead, but its not been played with in years.
