LEGO LEGO is a Danish brand of toy bricks that can be used to assemble models of various intricacy . In 1999 , " Star Wars " became their first entertainment - related licensed product ( " Spider - Man " , " Harry Potter " , " Batman " , " Indiana Jones " , " Pirates of the Caribbean " , and a few others followed ) and since then , building sets from all seven films have been released , and more recently sets from the Old Republic era , " The Clone Wars " and , and the " Star Wars Rebels " TV series . LEGO " Star Wars " sets mainly feature prominent vehicles , and a few scenes . " " , released in 2005 , was based on the LEGO sets portraying characters such as Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu in the prequel trilogy . " " , the sequel to the first game , is based on the original trilogy ( episodes , , and ) . It is presented in a similar format , though introduces new features to correspond more with the interactivity of LEGO bricks . A compilation of the first two " LEGO Star Wars " games , named " " , was announced at Celebration IV in 2007 . Incorporating the first six films , the game was released on all three next - gen consoles , as well as the Nintendo DS . In 2011 , " " was released . It was roughly based on the first two seasons of " Star Wars : The Clone Wars " . Craft . As mentioned above , spacecraft and other vehicles are LEGO Group mainstay for the line . The sets include spacecraft such as the " Millennium Falcon " and the X - wing starfighter , along with some less well - known craft , such as the Flash Speeder and Count Dooku ' s speeder bike ( neither of which is currently available for general sale ) . Specific pieces of special design and various printed pieces have been developed by the company to achieve an accurate look of some of the more complicated craft . LEGO Star Wars uses stickers as opposed to transfers , as they are more cost - effective . Some sets over time have been redesigned by the LEGO Group , such as the " Millennium Falcon " , snowspeeder , landspeeder , and X - wing fighter . The " Slave I " has been redesigned five times ( four for Boba Fett , one for Jango Fett ) , the latest in 2015 . Minifigures have also been redesigned , such as the Super Battle Droids ( changed from blue to dark silver ) . Sets released in 2005 introduced many redesigned minifigures mostly due to the LEGO group introducing realistic skin tones for licensed themes , such as Qui - Gon Jinn and Obi - Wan Kenobi ( the torso and face colors have been changed ) , commander , security , and pilot droids ( torso piece is completely yellow , red , and blue now , respectively , as opposed to the more accurate but less cost - effective printed circles ) , and droidekas ( made with new pieces that showcase a more movie - accurate look , but prevent the figure from folding into a ball ) . Some minifigures ( such as Boba Fett and stormtroopers ) have been temporarily redesigned for certain sets with printed legs , hips , and arms . Stormtroopers are probably the most redesigned figure to date , featuring three different helmet designs , three different types of heads , and two different torsos ( the old gray and a new " bley " ) . Ultimate Collector ' s Series . The Ultimate Collector ' s Series ( UCS ) line features vehicles created to be more detailed , larger , and more accurate than most . Due to the larger scale , these models have more pieces and require a higher skill level to build . They are also more expensive than most LEGO sets . Some of the models included in the UCS line are the X - wing , Imperial Star Destroyer , snowspeeder , Y - wing , AT - ST , blockade runner , and the TIE Advanced . Some are to minifig scale , such as the " Millennium Falcon " , which included several minifigs . Some models have out - of - scale minifig " rooms , " such as the Death Star and Super Star Destroyer . Often these UCS models come with a fact sheet with ship specifications and a display stand , both made of LEGO ( information on sheet is on a sticker placed on LEGO pieces ) . Large astromech droid head pieces are included in relevant fighters , such as the X - wing , Y - wing , Naboo Starfighter and Jedi Starfighter . Expanded Universe . The LEGO Group has already released and plans to release several Expanded Universe sets , including a TIE / d fighter , a TIE Crawler , and Anakin ' s customized Jedi starfighter from " " . Along with an AT - TE including Anakin Skywalker , Ahsoka Tano , Captain Rex , a clone trooper , and Rotta , a Republic Gunship with two special stickers ( which can customize the Gunship to be either the " Lucky Lekku " or the " Crumb Bomber " ) was released with Asajj Ventress , Obi - Wan Kenobi , Commander Cody , a clone trooper , and Plo Koon figures , and a V - 19 Torrent starfighter was released with a new clone pilot . From is the " Rogue Shadow " , with Juno Eclipse , Galen Marek , and a battle - damaged Darth Vader . The LEGO Group has also made a Droid Gunship , a Homing Spider Droid , a Republic Fighter Tank and Anakin ' s freighter , " Twilight " . The LEGO Group has also created their own " Star Wars " vehicles such as a Rebel Scout Speeder and an Imperial dropship , because of their wish to create " army - building " sets without infringing upon Hasbro ' s action - figure copyright . 2012 saw the release of two more Expanded Universe sets , both from " " , featuring a " Fury " - class Imperial interceptor and a Republic Striker Fighter . In 2013 two more sets from " Star Wars : The Old Republic " will be released ; the first features two Republic trooper s and two Imperial soldier s and an unidentified type of speeder , while the second set will be of an " Defender " - class light corvette . MINI Series ( 2002 – Present ) . In 2002 , the LEGO Group began releasing a line of MINI models . These models were much smaller than the normal sets and had fewer pieces and therefore were not as detailed , though they were much cheaper . There have been a wide range of MINI models released , ranging from Episode I ' s MTT to Episode VI ' s Imperial Shuttle . In 2005 , two promotional MINI models were released in celebration of the release of Episode III . More MINI sets were released 2009 , such as the V - 19 Torrent Starfighter , Clone Turbo Tank , and Snowspeeder . There are also Star Wars MINI key chains , which include a set of three new vehicles from Episode IV ( the Y - wing , TIE Advanced , landspeeder and " Millennium Falcon " ) . The LEGO Group has released key chains in the past as minifigures , but these were the first time in which a MINI vehicle was released as a key chain . The other " bag charms , " as they are officially called , were the " Slave I " and Jedi interceptor . Locations / Scenes . The LEGO Group has also created sets or parts of a set that is focused on scenes / locations from the movies such as the " Final Duel " and " Jedi Defense " sets . " Locations " range from large sets to single objects , such as moisture vaporators and cranes . Single objects are most often paired with vehicles , such as the Episode Two speeder bike sets : 7113 ( Owen Lars ' swoop ) with the moisture vaporator and 7103 ( Count Dooku ' s Geonosian speeder bike ) with the crane . Most of the smaller location sets are paired with vehicles , not limited to single props . 7180 B - wing came with a Rebel Control Center , and 4502 X - wing Fighter had Yoda ' s Dagobah hut as a side - draw . Episode I ' s 7121 Naboo Swamp , a swampy landscape of plant life , was paired with two STAPs and their battle droid pilots . Also , there are the massive stand - alone playsets , such as 4480 Jabba ' s Palace ( though this can be connected to 4475 Jabba ' s Message and 4476 Jabba ' s Prize to form an even larger Jabba ' s Palace ) , 10123 Cloud City , and 7257 Ultimate Lightsaber Duel . The latest large playset is 10188 Death Star , featuring scenes from both Death Stars , such as the trash compactor , the Emperor ' s throne room , and the conference room . Characters . The final , but very integral part of a LEGO " Star Wars " set is the characters . Almost all of the saga ' s most iconic characters have been incarnated into LEGO form . The most common form in which characters appear in the LEGO universe are as minifigures , classic LEGO people . These come with a boxy torso and interchangeable heads ; torso ; headpiece ( hair or some form of headgear ) ; cape ( made from real cloth and attached onto the neck , before the head ) , appearing on some characters ; and legs ; though most fans switch arms , hands , and even hips while this is not officially intended . Due to the unique appearances of the many droids , soldiers and aliens that populate this universe , many new molds have been specially created for the series . These include the Kit Fisto and General Grievous minifigures , the Gungan and Rodian heads , and the helmets of Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers ( including ) . Molds for accessories have also been created , such as helmets , headpieces , weapons , etc . These include the lightsaber handle ( which has since been reused for other purposes both in and out of the " Star Wars " realm ) , electrobinoculars , the new - mold blasters in the 2007 sets , Rebel pilot helmets , and more . There are a few variations of the standard LEGO minifigure produced for the " Star Wars " range . The most controversial and prominent type are the light - up lightsaber ( LUL ) minifigs , released with some of the larger Episode III sets in 2005 . Characters given the treatment include Darth Vader , Mace Windu , Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker , and Luminara Unduli . These figures look like usual ones on the surface , except that , to facilitate internal electronics , no components can be removed , except the headpiece and the lightsaber blade . When the head is pressed down , an LED illuminates the LEGO lightsaber blade . The batteries last three hours and are not intended for replacement , though they can be replaced . These proved to be so unpopular that all minifigures have been replaced in some way or another with non - LUL minifigures . Other less common incarnations of characters from the universe include Technic models , UCS characters and Microfigures . Technic . LEGO Technic is a form of LEGO elements which entirely forsakes the regular brick design and relies on technical parts such as beams , gears , axles , lift - arms , cross - bars , and so on . It is mainly droids , such as the pit droid , R2 - D2 , C - 3PO , battle droid , super battle droid , and droideka that have been incarnated in this unique form . Technic sets allow for accurate features and various movements otherwise impossible . Both the pit droid and battle droid sets fold up , while the super battle droid has a quick - draw blaster function ; R2 - D2 produces a tool arm , and C - 3PO ' s head and arms fall off when the center is pushed . However , Jango Fett , Darth Vader , General Grievous , and the stormtrooper have also been turned into Technic figures as well , possibly because of the mechanical appearance of their costumes . Ultimate Collector ' s Series . The last way characters appear in LEGO brick form is as UCS models ( see " craft " above ) . A Darth Maul bust , Yoda , General Grievous and R2 - D2 have all been released . Building at this scale provides immense amounts of character detail . List of Sets .
