LEGO Star Wars is one of the most popular LEGO themes of all time. Far beyond X-wings and TIE fighters, there’s a whole expanded universe of inspiration, and an army of LEGO fans ready to build whatever comes out of George Lucas’s head next.

LEGO Star Wars 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship: Slave I 2: Electric Boogaloo [Review]

Firespray-class starships appear to be like proverbial London buses. You wait 20 years for a specific one, and then two turn up within three months of each other! LEGO finally re-visited Jango Fett’s Slave I in style earlier this year, with the mammoth 2,970-piece 75414. But if that set’s $330 price tag is putting you off, good news! From August 1, you’ll be able to pick up 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship for a more modest US $69.99 | CAN $89.99 | UK £59.99 (and you may be able to find it on eBay or Amazon, too). This one’s only got 707 pieces, but it does feature an extra minifigure for a total of three. Read on to see if you should pick up one, both, or neither…

Celebrating a LEGO anniversary in style with a 26,000 piece Revenge of the Sith diorama

Now normally, when we feature LEGO creations on the Brothers Brick, we like to lead with some nice clear photos that really show a build off. But sometimes we have to make an exception, such as when the scene is set as fantastically as in Kyle Collard (LordofVador)’s colossal Mustafer diorama! This of course depicts Anakin and Obi-Wan’s duel at the climax of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The moody lighting and bright blue lightsaber blades instantly evoke that epic scene on Mustafar.

But it doesn’t look half bad in daylight either! This was a heck of an effort by Kyle: over 26,000 pieces and close to 300 hours of building and re-building. It has real meaning, too. Kyle tells us that this same scene was the subject of one of his first MOCs, some 14 (!) years ago. So this build doubles as a showcase for his growth as a builder, and a celebration.

And every celebration needs a present, right? You might have sussed out from the above photo that this diorama made it a convention (which is an achievement in its own right, taking something this big on the road!). And it’s at Brick Rodeo that this build received the Best Star Wars Scene award. Congratulations, Kyle, and happy LEGO anniversary!

LEGO Star Wars 75414 The Force Burner Snowspeeder – Bringing chaos and cool to a galaxy far, far away [Review]

Brickbot_Studio is back again, and today we’re looking at one of the most chaotic ships I’ve ever seen in a Star Wars set. LEGO Star Wars 75414 The Force Burner Snowspeeder is a wild ride from start to finish, packed with vibrant colors, strangely delightful design choices, and a trio of absolutely fantastic minifigures. Whether you’re here for the builds, the figs, or the lightsaber nunchucks (yes, you read that right), this one definitely leaves an impression.

Let’s dive into this weird and wonderful speeder set.

Bounty Hunters, Troopers, and Droids – oh my! [Minifig Monday]

Wookiepedia catalogues thousands of characters from a galaxy far, far away, and yet the richness of Star Wars leaves ample space for anyone to imagine their own swarthy scoundrel, sinister Sith, or back-stabbing bounty hunter to roam the Outer Rim. This week on Minifig Monday we round up some recent builds from the custom minifig community that’ll have your lips buzzing with lightsaber hums and binary beeps.

brickmedude invented a trio of mercenaries called the Saber Hunters who hunt Jedi and Sith alike. This ghostly merc evokes General Grievous by way of the Sisters from Kubo and the Two Strings. brickmedude is always an amazing photographer, but especially adept at post-production on light sabers.

When bam.bricks_customs goes Star Wars, he goes hard. This Nikto bounty hunter showcases incredible handling of cloth, with layers of fabric skirt and capes paired with a molded scarf and satchel. He looks like a Hasbro Black Series action figure in miniature. The reprogrammed Battle Droid has the makings of the perfect SW sidekick. Batter up, roger, roger.

The Outer Rim Ruffian round-up continues!

LEGO Star Wars 75434 K-2SO Security Droid – Good enough to parade before the Emperor [Review]

Hey folks! Brennan (aka Brickbot_Studio) here! Some of you might know me as the guy on Instagram who makes a lot of small-scale, part-dense LEGO robots, D&D minifigures, and LEGO Warhammer 40k figures & mechs. But today, I get to offer you my thoughts on LEGO’s latest addition to their buildable characters lineup: K-2SO! Ever since Alan Tudyk made his unforgettable debut as K-2SO in Rogue One back in 2016, the lanky black Imperial droid has been a fan favorite. LEGO first responded with a buildable action figure and a minifig-scale mold. Today we’ll find out if the upcoming LEGO Star Wars 75434 K-2SO Security Droid succeeds at capturing the beloved, snarky robotic turncoat as an intricate and highly detailed display model.

You can ~~reprogram~~ build your own 845 piece K-2SO for US $89.99 | CAN $119.99 | UK £79.99 when the droid comes home August 1, 2025.

Congratulations, K-2SO, you are being reviewed. Please do not resist.

LEGO Star Wars 75417 AT-ST Walker: does the latest UCS set walk the walk? [Review]

It’s almost become a tradition – insofar as LEGO has traditions – that we get two Ultimate Collector Series Star Wars sets every year. Usually, these come in May (for May 4th) and some time in the autumn. But this year, 75417 AT-ST Walker is bucking that trend! This latest UCS set releases this August 1st alongside a host of other Star Wars sets. It’s the second time the Imperial walker has been tackled at this scale – but this time, your US $199.99 | CAN $259.99 | UK £179.99 gets you 1,513 pieces. Pre-orders are open now, and after its release date, it may also be available from third-party retail sites like eBay or Amazon.

Toothless and Shelby Cobra lead July 2025 New Releases, available now! [News]

July’s LEGO releases are a calm in the storm between a busy June and what’s shaping up to be an absolutely stacked August. We’ve reviewed all five sets and our pick of the month is the Shelby Cobra, which guest reviewer Firas Abu-Jabber praised for the innovative techniques and highly satisfying build process. If car’s don’t get your motor running, Toothless might not be the take on the Night Fury that we wanted, but it’s a very cute set with broad appeal. To sweeten the deal this month, LEGO’s latest GWP – Friendly Snails – is one of the most delightful free sets we’ve seen all year. If you’re planning to purchase any of this month’s new releases, consider using our affiliate link. Your support is what has kept us going for 20 years of daily LEGO updates. Thank you!

A Millenni-YUM Falcon

Summer is here, and everyone loves a juicy slice of watermelon to help beat the heat, even in a galaxy far, far away. So Maxx Davidson is helping deliver that treat to the furthest reaches of space with this fresh take on a classic Star Wars ship. Maxx has made perfect use of various shades of green to capture the look of the melon rind, and those diamond tiles as seeds on the front mandibles are inspired. But my favorite detail is the round fruit slice tile serving as the cockpit window. Delicious.

Sleek and stylish, this LEGO N-2 starfighter is a serious Star Wars upgrade

The N-1 starfighter remains one of the most iconic Star Wars fighter designs since the X-Wing, with its hot-rod yellow and chrome color scheme. Al-Tair has given this fighter a bit of a McLaren Formula-1 upgrade with a black and orange color scheme paired with engine extensions. By the look of it, the N-2 also has increased firepower, with several missile launchers added on each wing. If I had to guess who is piloting this fine craft, Poe Dameron comes to mind, since he rocked a similar paint job on his X-wing fighter.

Return of the Mon Calamari Cruiser

Once again, we find ourselves writing about an excellent LEGO diorama by swbuilds. And once again, it’s a Mon Calamari Cruiser full of life! After finishing the bridge, this build apparently followed close behind. But I’m not going to talk about Star Wars here. Instead I’m going to reference another space-faring LEGO theme: Life on Mars. For that is where all that glorious sand purple comes from! This is one of those colours with an extremely limited colour palette: only 18 designs, and six of those are minifigure parts. Fortunately, many of those other 12 parts were larger ones, so you can make them go a long way, as swbuilds does here. I’m particularly fond of the overturned pump from 7317 Aero Tube Hangar in the background!

Explore Endor in this epic Ewok Village

Back in the 80s, I remember the older kids always showed a certain disdain for Ewoks. But I was just young enough when The Return of the Jedi came out that a giant alien treehouse manned by warrior teddy bears seemed like the coolest thing ever. And Simulterious has made my inner child beam with delight at the sight of this amazing Ewok village build.
