LEGO reveals 7 new Star Wars sets for late summer 2020 including Galaxy’s Edge and upcoming 2020 advent calendar [News]

LEGO has revealed seven new Star Wars sets based on everything across the galaxy including the films, television shows, a visual dictionary, and even Disney’s theme park land, Galaxy’s Edge. The sets include two brand new ships, multiple desirable minifigures, a few refreshed models, and the 2020 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar. (Spoiler alert: we’ve included photos of the Advent behind the jump at the far end of this article.)

The seven new sets join four other upcoming LEGO Star Wars models already announced earlier this year, including 75288 AT-AT, 75280 501st Legion Clone Troopers, 75292 The Razor Crest and 75317 The Mandalorian & The Child BrickHeadz. All these new sets should be available globally starting Sept. 1st.

75281 Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor | 248 pieces
US $29.99 | CAN $39.99 | UK £24.99 | 29.99 EUR | 269.95 DKK | 44.99 AUD

First up, we have Anakin’s yellow Jedi Interceptor from Revenge of the Sith. The set comes with minifigures of Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2 and appears to be an updated version of 75038 Jedi Interceptor released six years ago. The newest model is refreshed with modern elements and tiles, though the overall profile is nearly identical.

Young Jedi can role-play Anakin Skywalker launching into battle piloting Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor (75281) with this action-packed LEGO Star Wars set. This brick-built toy has lots of features to inspire creative play, including an opening LEGO minifigure cockpit, spring-loaded shooters, foldable wing flaps with space for R2-D2 and clips for spare ammo and Anakin’s Lightsaber.


75283 Armored Assault Tank (AAT) | 286 pieces
US $39.99 | CAN $49.99 | UK £34.99 | 39.99 EUR | 349.0 DKK | 59.99 AUD

For Clone Wars fans, LEGO is releasing a new AAT–he workhorse hover tank first seen in tan in the invasion of Naboo in The Phantom Menace. The last light grey and dark blue LEGO version of the AAT was the 8018 Armored Assault Tank (AAT) from more than a decade ago in 2009. The new version is smaller but includes more curved slopes and smoother finishes.

Ahsoka Tano fans should be celebrating that a newer minifigure is available since prices for her on the secondary market have risen steadily over the last few years. The set comes with Ahsoka Tano, Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper, and two AAT Driver Battle Droids (all of whom should go along nicely with the previously announced 501st Legion Battle Pack.)

Kids can enjoy hours of epic battle action with this LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars Armored Assault Tank (AAT) building set (75283). The AAT has lots of realistic details to inspire fun, creative play, including opening hatches with space inside for the Battle Droids, LEGO minifigures, 2 spring-loaded shooters and a rotating turret with an elevating cannon.

501st Legion vs. Battle Droids! This action-packed set comes with 2 LEGO Star Wars minifigures – Ahsoka Tano and Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper – AAT Driver Battle Droid and Battle Droid LEGO figures, and assorted weapons to inspire role play. An awesome gift idea to enhance any fan’s LEGO Star Wars collection, this toy building kit is great for solo or group play.


75284 Knights of Ren Transport Ship | 595 pieces
US $69.99 | CAN $99.99 | UK £64.99 | 69.9 EUR | 649.0 DKK | 119.99 AUD

The Knights of Ren Transport Ship is an interesting choice for a set as it appears only momentarily in The Rise of Skywalker film but is fleshed out more fully in The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary. The ship is known as “The Night Buzzard” which is a modified Oubliette-class transport dungeon ship.

The set comes with Rey in robes from The Rise of Skywalker as well as two new Knights of Ren.

Fans can relive epic Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker action scenes with this Knights of Ren Transport Ship (75284) LEGO building set. Hidden ‘skis’ underneath this Star Wars villains’ starship replicate the hover effect, and it has 2 opening cockpits for the Knights of Ren, a compartment for a captured LEGO minifigure and 2 spring-loaded shooters to inspire creative play.


75286 General Grievous’s Starfighter | 487 pieces
US $79.99 | CAN $119.99 | UK £74.99 | 79.99 EUR | 749.0 DKK | 119.99 AUD

Another set from Revenge of the Sith, we have General Grievous’ escape ship/starfighter named “The Souless One.” The ship made a number of appearances throughout the Clone Wars, and the last LEGO version released was 8095 General Grievous’ Starfighter from 2010. The newest version is updated with smoother sides and a lightsaber rack.

The model comes with three minifigures including General Grievous with his customary four lightsabers, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and an Airborne Clone Trooper.

Get set for an epic clash between General Grievous and Obi-Wan Kenobi! The powerful warlord Grievous is flying into battle in his awesome starfighter. Look out for the spring-loaded shooters. When the starfighter comes into land, use Obi-Wan’s Lightsaber and the Airborne Clone Trooper’s blaster to challenge the warlord. Who will win this thrilling Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith battle? You decide!

General Grievous vs. Obi-Wan: This building set comes with 3 LEGO minifigures – General Grievous, Obi-Wan Kenobi and an Airborne Clone Trooper with weapons for youngsters to role-play classic action battles from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith or create their own original stories. A super gift idea for any young Star Wars fan, this building kit is great for solo or group play and makes a fine addition to any LEGO collection.


75291 Death Star Final Duel | 775 pieces
US $99.99 | CAN $139.99 | UK £89.99 | 99.99 EUR | 899.0 DKK | 169.99 AUD

Next up from Return of the Jedi, we have Emperor Palpatine’s throne room on the second Death Star. The model is a refreshed version of 75093: Death Star Final Duel from five years ago in 2015. The newer set includes more play functions including a Force-jump, collapsing stairs and bridge, rotating throne, and a reactor shaft.

The set comes with five minifigures including Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader (with arm printing), Emperor Palpatine, and two Imperial Royal Guards.

Kids can play out the epic Death Star Final Duel (75291) between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader with this LEGO Star Wars: Return of the Jedi building set. Emperor Palpatine’s throne room has many cool features to inspire creative fun, including a LEGO minifigure Force-jump function. The stairs and bridge can also be collapsed, and Darth Vader can throw the Emperor in the reactor shaft just like in the classic scene.

Role-play action: This Death Star construction kit offers a testing building challenge and includes 5 LEGO Star Wars minifigures with Lightsabers and force pikes for fans to role-play action-packed battles. It also comes with a code to unlock a character in the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga video game.


75293 Resistance I-TS Transport | 932 pieces
US $99.99 | CAN $139.99 | UK £89.99 | 99.99 EUR | 899.0 DKK | 159.99 AUD

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge makes its first appearance in LEGO form with the Resistance I-TS Transport, a ship that riders board in the Disneyland and Disney World attraction, Rise of the Resistance.

The set comes with four minifigures including Vi Moradi (who you can meet running around the theme park trying to escape the clutches of the First Order), Lieutenant Bek, an astromech droid and a GNK power droid.

Young Rebels can play out heroic missions with this LEGO brick-built model of the Resistance I-TS Transport (75293) from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – a new land at Walt Disney World Resort and the Disneyland Resort. The top of the shuttle lifts off and the sides open for easy play, and there are 4 rotating stud shooters by the cockpit and 4 rear stud shooters for battle action.

Unlimited creative play: Great for solo building and play or sharing the fun with friends, the set includes 4 Star Wars characters – Lieutenant Bek and Vi Moradi, plus Astromech Droid and GNK Power Droid LEGO figures – to role-play galactic adventures. This construction toy also makes an awesome display piece and it combines with other LEGO Star Wars sets for even more creative fun.

US $39.99 | CAN $49.99 | 24.99 GBP | 29.99 EUR | 269.95 DKK | 49.99 AUD

Last but not least, we have this year’s LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar. LEGO has provided detailed photos of each build, including several special holiday figures that appear on the front of the box.
