We have all wanted to recreate the Star Wars universe and live its adventures. And one of the best ways to do it is with a LEGO. They allow us to rebuild our favorite ships, characters and scenes from any movie, thanks to the enormous variety there is. Therefore, so as not to get lost among so many options, we show you which are the best Star Wars LEGOs that you can get right now. With them, and a little patience, you can build anything that exists in a galaxy far, far away.
The truth is that the collaboration between LEGO and Lucasfilm (now owned by Disney, like almost everything that touches the light, which was already prophesied by Simba’s father) has been quite fruitful and deserves to tell a little about it.
The history of LEGO and Star Wars
George Lucas always saw it clear that cinema is an art and, also, a way to license practically everything in the form of merchandising and toys that will provide millions of dollars.
Therefore, the most curious thing about the story is that the beginnings of LEGO and Star Wars are surprisingly late .
It would not be until 1999 that LEGO and Lucasfilm signed the first collaboration and released the X-Wing Fighter inspired by the original trilogy and with set number 7140.
Since then, the collaboration has been very profitable, because what was an alliance with an expiration date until 2008 was extended to 2011, 2016 and, finally, 2022.
We do not think they will break such a profitable collaboration, which already extends to more than 800 sets of all kinds and sizes .
Of course, the best LEGO and Star Wars kits are those that recreate the most epic of the saga, its ships and its legendary settings, as we are going to see. However, there are also other spectacular kits that allow you to build your favorite characters and they deserve to be on this list. To make it easier, we start with the first ones.
The LEGO of ships and places of the saga
For this selection, we started in the same way that Star Wars itself begins, with one of the best LEGOs and, also, without a doubt, one of the most epic.
The Imperial Star Destroyer
In its Ultimate Collector Set version, prepare the portfolio for the imposing 4,784-piece Imperial Star Destroyer .
It is not suitable for the impatient, nor for those of us who have a small apartment, since, once finished, it measures no less than 1 meter and 9 centimeters. In fact, this model holds the record for being the longest LEGO ever built (long, not big, or with more pieces).
The set number is 75252 and it even comes with a small Tantive IV type ship, to recreate the chase from the very first scene of Star Wars: Episode IV, A New Hope.
The Mos Eisley Cantina
If there’s one legendary place in the galaxy to have a drink and hire a smuggler, it’s the Mos Eisley Cantina. In it you have everything, a faithful reproduction of the site and a multitude of figures and accessories.
That makes this model one of the best also to play and reproduce the most mythical scenes that happened there, like the fact that Han always shot first .
It contains 3,187 pieces , including even the band of big-headed musicians. The set number is 75290.
The AT-AT Walker from Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back
The best of the films in the series also has LEGO sets that rebuild its most impressive vehicles: the four-legged AT-AT walkers.
You have several references to choose from. If you want to dedicate half your life to this, look for set number 75313. It has no less than 6785 pieces and 9 minifigures. Of course, it can be opened and can hold up to 40.
At over two feet tall and twenty feet long , you’ll need patience to build this legendary Star Wars icon.
If you love AT-ATs, but what we’re talking about is too much for you, look for set number 75288, which is considerably smaller. The difference is also seen in the price, 800 euros for the first in the official store and about 130 euros for the second , which you have here below.
The Millennium Falcon, Ultimate Collector Set version, from the new trilogy
We can’t finish the best Star Wars LEGOs of ships without the king right now: The massive Millennium Falcon set from the latest trilogy.
That there are many LEGO Millennium Falcons of many sizes, but none like this one, which has the reference number 75192.
It is the fourth largest LEGO in the world right now in terms of number of pieces, with no less than 7581. That makes it the most detailed and gigantic Falcon, at about 85 centimeters long.
In addition, it comes with Rey, Chewie, Han Solo or BB-8 minifigures, which are the ideal size to use inside the ship.
An entire engineering feat that will keep you entertained for a long time.
LEGOs to recreate your favorite characters
Although the LEGOs we have seen are simply incredible, they are not the only ones that deserve to be considered the best in Star Wars . The truth is that LEGO is so versatile, that it also allows you to build your favorite characters.
And we start this top with someone inevitable who has taken the franchise by storm.
The Baby Yoda
Let’s see, there’s no way it didn’t come out somewhere, so here it is. Grogu, or as it is usually called, Baby Yoda , also has its LEGO version.
The character who has stolen our hearts in The Mandalorian has been turned into a 1073-piece set no less .
With the ability to turn your head, hands and ears, you can imitate those movements with which you melt in the series. Her set number is 75318.
Darth Vader’s helmet
If there is something recognizable within the Star Wars saga, it is, without a doubt, Darth Vader’s helmet . Everyone, whether they have seen the movies or not, can identify it.
For this reason, one of the best Star Wars LEGOs is precisely that, a very successful reproduction of about 20 centimeters high once finished. With 834 pieces, it will keep you entertained for a long time and is part of a series dedicated precisely to legendary helmets from the trilogies.
It has set number 75304.
And if you like the idea of the helmet, but you are more fans of the Mandalorians, you have the version of the helmet of Boba Fett, who is also one of the best LEGOs in Star Wars right now.
With 685 pieces and set number 75277, this is the way .
R2-D2, version 2021
Of course, the most charismatic robot in the series also has a LEGO.
No, we are not talking about C3PO and, of course, BB-8. We’re talking about R2-D2 and it actually has more than one set, but we recommend version 2021 (set number 75308). This model is highly detailed, with a rotating head and a retractable third leg.
It also comes with a small commemorative plaque and is already a major challenge for your LEGO building skills, with 2314 pieces.
As you can see, if you love Star Wars, you can rebuild your favorite moments, characters and scenes with the best Star Wars LEGOs out there right now. It won’t be cheap, but that’s the life of the geek.
