What do you like more, Star Wars or LEGO? If you answered both then this article is for you. LEGO has always produced some very cool Star Wars sets but with the revival of the franchise and a brand new trilogy in the making, fans of both these items worldwide have jumped for joy with the outstanding products being released.
Whether you prefer The Dark Side, or The Force, you’ll love learning more about our five favorite Star Wars LEGO sets. Read on and “may the force be with you”.
The Force will awaken in your house when you take home this cool little TIE Fighter design. This First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter is suitable for ages 6 to 12, and will only set you back about $23. At 413 pieces this accurately modelled item will bring out your “dark side” the moment you take it out of the box. Included in this model are a Death Star Trooper, Fighter Pilot, Imperial Officer and an Empire employee with a unique helmet design.
There may not be a Finn character included but the hatch at the back of this unit does open, which means that if you have collected the Finn LEGO piece in another set you can have fun acting out his escape from the Starkiller Base all over again.

The First Order strike again with another design that they stole from the Empire. Suitable for ages 9 to 14 this First Order Heavy Assault Walker is made up of 1376 pieces. It was intimidating for characters in the movie and would look intimidating to your other LEGO pieces at home as well. Priced at around $210 you can expect to find five minifigures including Poe, Rey and Resistance allies. This really is a cool looking toy.
This Assault Walker is capable of firing the head-mounted spring loaded shooters and is able to focus aim with the rapid-fire stud shooter on the top. Use the spare ammo in the compartments and take the Resistance by surprise with the mine dropping function. The Resistance doesn’t stand a chance…or do they?
Supreme Leader Snoke rules the galaxy from this awesome First Order Star Destroyer. For ages 9 to 14 this amazing LEGO toy will have you firing stud shooters, riding up and down the elevator to plot next plans with Snoke, giving orders to the mini hologram and from the bridge, getting ready for battle, preparing the droids and operating the ship carefully from the control room.
The First Order Star Destroyer bares resemblance to the original Star Destroyer in the first Star Wars movie and you can’t help but associate it with images of Darth Vader and the Emperor. At 1416 pieces and $210 we think this toy is outstanding fun and value and a must for any Star Wars LEGO collector.
Han Solo made the Millennium Falcon a symbolic Star Wars icon the moment the original film hit the big screen back in 1977. With a revival of the franchise and the new Force Awakens trilogy the Millennium Falcon has been recovered and thrust back into the lives of Star Wars fans worldwide. Suitable for ages 9 to 14 this is the best Millennium Falcon LEGO set ever released.
Priced at around $300 this new set features six minifigures with assorted weapons including Rey, Finn, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Tasu Leech and a Kanjiklub Gang Member, plus a BB-8 Astromech Droid. Coming in at a huge 1329 pieces the upper and lower laser turrets can be rotated also leaving enough space in the firing control hatch to support a minifigure inside. There is the iconic sensor dish, dual spring-loaded shooters, an entry ramp and an entrance hatch. This seriously is one of the most famous and most recognized space ships in Star Wars.

If it’s possible for a droid to be cute then this one oozes it. BB-8 is a new droid character introduced in the recent Star Wars franchise relaunch. Belonging to Poe, BB-8 becomes separated from him during battle and like r2d2 in the original films, is carrying a very special message.
BB-8 knows where Luke Skywalker is and the First Order knows he knows it. Suitable for 10 to 16 years olds, this 1106 piece model of the real thing is priced well at around $150. This item features a working hatch and a ‘non-functional welding torch.
