Great skiff, average sarlacc
" This was a simple, yet fun build.
Skiff:
The skiff is very well done. I appreciate that the plank extends straight out instead of flipping out like the previous model. The generous use of clear round bricks on the bottom to give the hovering effect was a nice touch as well.

Sarlacc:
The Sarlacc Pit felt like a step back compared to the previous model. My main complaint is that this pit is only 1 brick tall while the previous pit was 2 bricks tall. The missing level really doesn’t make it feel like much of a pit. I’m not a huge fan of the reddish bricks but they’re ok. I simple second level of bricks at the perimeter with a few teeth spread around would have gone a long way torwards giving it some depth. I did appreciate the 4 tentacles though.

Pros:
-Extending plank
-Excellent Minfigs
-4 Sarlacc Tentacles (2 types)
-Maybe this means a Jabbas Palace or Barge are in our future!!!
