Lego Star Wars (stylized as LEGO Star Wars) is a Lego theme based on the Star Wars media franchise created by George Lucas. It includes over 928 Lego building toy sets, [1] 1389 Lego minifigures, [2] an eponymous video game series containing six games, and multiple animated short films and television series.

Contents

Originally it was only licensed from 1998 to 2009, but The Lego Group extended the license with Lucasfilm, first until 2011, then until 2016, then again until 2022, [3] and then once more until 2032. [4] [5]

Overview

Lego Star Wars is based on the  Star Wars saga and franchise. The product line directly focuses on the Star Wars characters from the films and TV Series, with the exception of a few special characters. It was first announced in February 1999 at the North American International Toy Fair, [6] serving as a tie-in to Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace , that would be released in May. [7]

Development

The Lego Star Wars designers have revealed how they have "changed strategy" to get popular minifigures into cheaper and more accessible sets. Lego Star Wars Creative Lead Jens Kronvold Frederiksen explained, "We have changed our strategy a little bit over the years," and continued, "Where in the past, we often kept some of them – the most important especially – for the higher prices, we are now thinking young kids, maybe newcomers to Star Wars, want to get into it." [8]

The designers revealed the Force Ghost minifigures as a result of changes to the company's transparent plastic. Creative Lead Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, "The reason for not doing it was that the minifigures are made out of many different types of plastic, because they need to have different abilities and characteristics," Design Director Michael Lee Stockwell explained, "Some have to be flexible, some need to use clutch power and whatnot," and continued, "So the hands are different material than the heads, for example." [9]

Stockwell explained how coming up with playsets based on new shows and movies is trickier than creating vehicles. Referring to a Lego set based on The Mandalorian , Stockwell explained, "We were interested in [the Armourer's forge] already from the first season, but we didn't know enough about the context," and continued, "We didn't know enough of what was happening around this. That's one of the major differences between designing a ship and a playset like this, because it's sometimes easier to understand a ship." [10]

The designers explained the Mandalorian Starfighter (set number: 75316) is a great example of how they decide which sets to produce. Frederiksen explained, "If it's something that's exposed in more places, then there's a high chance that it's popular," and continued, "We did the same thing when creating stuff from The Clone Wars. We always thought the best set was [vehicles] that were both from the prequel movies, but also in The Clone Wars, [because] then we make more people happy." [11]

The designers explained the design process of a minifigures and how they feel responsible for their accuracy. Lego Star Wars designer Madison O'Neil explained, "Part of that is just trying to fit these details in. The leg print, the arm print, wherever we can that's a new thing that we're starting to be able to do a little bit more of which is great to have the capacity to do that. We work within these frames that we have within the company that everyone has, and we just try to do the absolute best we can." [12]

According to the Lego-owned marketplace BrickLink, The Lego Group has, as of April 2024 released a total of 928 Lego sets and promotional polybags and 1389 minifigures as part of its Lego Star Wars theme. [4]

Minifigures

Some minifigures repeatedly appear across multiple Lego sets, while others can be very rare, vastly increasing their resale value. Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are the themes most prominent minifigures while battle droids are, by quantity, one of the most often appearing minifigures in all of Lego. The first Lego Star Wars minifigures to ever be released were Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi from #7110 "Landspeeder". [13] Tan colored OOM battle droids are the first Lego Star Wars minifigure by production code (sw0001a) and have only four different unique designs, all of which are only different oriented arms and an additional backplate. [14] [15] Lego switched the skin tone from yellow to a more natural skin tone between 2003 and 2004, and by 2005 the yellow skin tone was retired in the Lego Star Wars line. In 2019, the number of Lego Star Wars minifigures has surpassed 1000, with the Battlefront II protagonist Iden Versio bearing code sw1000. [16] [17] [18]

Lego Star Wars construction sets

The first few sets based on the original trilogy were released in 1999, coinciding with the release of The Phantom Menace . The first wave of Lego Star Wars sets included model 7140, an X-wing fighter. Sets based on the prequel trilogy (Episodes I to III) of Star Wars would follow, starting with Episode I – The Phantom Menace. [19] As each new film in the prequel trilogy neared its release date, Lego issued new models of ships and scenes in those films, as well as additional sets from the original trilogy. Lego also produced models based on Clone Wars, [20] The Clone Wars , The Old Republic , The Force Unleashed, Rebels , The Force Awakens , [21] [22] Battlefront , Rogue One , The Last Jedi , Solo , Resistance , The Mandalorian , [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] The Rise of Skywalker , The Bad Batch , [29] [30] The Book of Boba Fett , [31] Obi-Wan Kenobi , [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] Star Wars: Andor, [37] [38] Ahsoka , [39] [40] [41] and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order . [42] [43] [44] Sets based on Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures , [45] Galaxy's Edge, The Freemaker Adventures, [21] [46] and Vader Immortal [47] have also been produced. [48]

In 2022, The Lego Group announced the Lego Star Wars theme will continue until 2032. [4] [5]

Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) sets

In addition to the regular Minifigure-scale sets, Lego has released 37 sets for the Ultimate Collector Series. These models are often considerably larger, more detailed, and meant more for display purposes than other sets. They often cost more than regular Lego sets as well. Many of them include an information plaque and often a display stand. The largest of these is 75192, the 2017 UCS version of the Millennium Falcon , complete with ten Minifigures. At 7541 pieces, it is the largest Lego Star Wars set ever released; and the fifth largest set of any collection ever commercially released. [49] On June 5, 2015, a sealed box of the older 2007 Millennium Falcon Lego set (#10179) was auctioned at online auction house Catawiki for 5000 euros (US$5556.5 at the time) making it the most expensive Lego set ever. [50] In 2021, AT-AT (set number: #75313) was released on November 26, 2021. [51] [52] [53] In 2022, Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder (set number: #75341) was released on May 1, 2022.

R2-D2

Lego design master Kurt Kristiansen had revealed the R2-D2 (set number: #75308). Kurt Kristiansen explained, "Well R2-D2 is a bit of a fun thing for me cause I've been revisiting the design for almost 10 years," and continued, "So it was quite a challenge to reinvent the model." [73] Subsequently, in 2024, Lego released a smaller model of R2-D2 to coincide with products released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Lego Star Wars. As such, this model also included a minifigure of Darth Malak from the Knights of the Old Republic game series.

Imperial Probe Droid

The designer video for Imperial Probe Droid (set number: #75306) explains some of the challenges that went into making the robotic model. Lego designer Jan Neergaard Olesen explained, "It's the first model I made totally in 3D, we have a program that we use and this was the first model where I spent a lot of time building it in 3D at home," and continued, "But the thing is, in 3D programs you don't have gravity and with a model like this that have a very high pivot point, it's going to cause some challenges" [74]
