In 2027, Star Wars turns 50 years old. George Lucas’ first film in the saga, now A New Hope, but back then simply “Star Wars,” came out on May 25th, 1977. And that means one of the franchise’s longest-running licensing partners, LEGO, is going to celebrate in style, like it’s a party at the Mos Eisley cantina. In January, LEGO is releasing several deluxe sets, highlighting characters from across the entire film franchise. You can see images and read details of each new Star Wars LEGO set below:
Star Wars: A New Hope Movie Poster
The original Star Wars poster by artists Tom Jung and Nick Cardy is possibly the most iconic movie poster of all time. Mainly thanks to its sexy versions of Luke and Leia. And now, you can own a LEGO recreation of this legendary piece of movie marketing as a 3,209-piece set, which measures over 23 in. (59 cm) high, 16 in. (40 cm) wide, and 2 in. (5 cm) deep. This one is priced at $299.99, and arrives on January 4, 2027.
Star Wars Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker Minifigure
The hero of the original trilogy, Luke Skywalker, is immortalized in his X-Wing fighter uniform from A New Hope, in this upscaled minifigure. This is the look Luke sported when he fired the proton torpedo straight into the Death Star’s thermal exhaust port, saving the galaxy. This oversized minifigure comes with a regular-sized one, based on concept art of Princess Leia. This 981-piece up-scaled Luke minifigure stands over 10 inches (26 cm) tall, and is perfect for display. The Up-Scaled Luke will cost you $99.99, and will be available on January 1, 2027.
Star Wars Rebel Y-Wing Starfighter
One of the Rebel fleet’s most recognizable ships from the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope is the Y-Wing fighter. Now, in time for Star Wars’ 50th, LEGO is releasing a new Y-Wing set. It includes minifigures of Rebel Alliance leader Mon Mothma, Y-wing pilot Dutch Vander, and his droid R2-BHD. It’s ready to drop three proton bombs on a TIE fighter or two. A concept art Luke Skywalker minifigure is also included. This 676-piece Y-wing set measures over 3 inches (7 cm) high, 14.5 inches (37 cm) long, and 7 inches (18 cm) wide. This one is priced at $79.99, and arrives on January 1.
Star Wars Darth Vader 2-in-1 Wall Art
Who is the greatest movie villain of all time? Our money is still on Darth Vader. The Sith Lord entered the pop culture consciousness in 1977, and he’s been living rent-free in our imaginations ever since. And now you can recreate his sinister helmet with this 2-in-1 wall art. Not only can you make Vader’s mask, but also his red lightsaber with the phrase “I am your father.” The helmet in this 628-piece set measures over 10 inches (25 cm) high and 10 inches (25 cm) wide. The “I am your father” option measures over 18 inches (46 cm) high and 16 inches (41 cm) wide. A fun bonus is an Empire Strikes Back mini LEGO poster. This Vader LEGO will set you back $69.99 and arrives on January 1.
Star Wars Stormtrooper (Concept Art) Helmet
Star Wars is such an iconic piece of pop culture, even concept art that never made it into the film is famous. Case in point, A New Hope concept artist Ralph McQuarrie’s original design for the Imperial Stormtrooper. For Star Wars’ 50th, LEGO is releasing this incredible 832-piece Stormtrooper buildable model, based on McQuarrie’s original artwork. This Stormtrooper helmet measures over 7 inches (18 cm) high, 4.5 inches (12 cm) wide, and 5.5 inches (14 cm) deep. It also comes with a Rogue One LEGO-style miniposter. You can purchase this one for $79.99, and it arrives on January 1.
Star Wars Mustafar Duel
One of the most epic lightsaber battles in Star Wars is Obi-Wan vs. Anakin from Revenge of the Sith. Now you can recreate this legendary fight on the volcanic planet of Mustafar in LEGO form. Just make sure you have the high ground, or it might not work out for you. Rotate the gears on either side of the buildable model to make the Jedi spin into battle, surrounded by lava. It also comes with a Han Solo minifigure inspired by Ralph McQuarrie’s original concept art. This set is a 372-piece build that measures over 3 inches (8 cm) high, 8.5 inches (21 cm) wide, and 4.5 inches (12 cm) deep. This Episode III-inspired set can be yours for $39.99.
Star Wars Duel on Bespin
Speaking of iconic lightsaber fights, perhaps the most iconic one is the Bespin fight between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in the depths of Cloud City. This set is so movie-accurate, it includes a push-and-pull lever to rotate Vader and send the antenna flying, just as he does in The Empire Strikes Back. Aside from the Luke and Vader minifigures, this set comes with a special Darth Vader concept art minifigure based on Ralph McQuarrie’s artwork. This 718-piece building set measures over 9 inches (22 cm) high, 14.5 inches (36 cm) wide, and 5.5 inches (14 cm) deep. You can own buy this one on January 1, priced at $79.99.
Nerdist’s Take: We Expect Even More LEGO Star Wars in 2027 to Celebrate A New Hope’s 50th.
