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 Diorama Collection 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training [Review]

LEGO recently announced its new Star Wars sub-theme for adult builders, the Diorama Collection, featuring three iconic scenes from the Original Trilogy. We’ve got our hands on the sets ahead of their release on April 26th, and we’re taking a closer look now at 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training, which includes exactly 1,000 pieces plus three minifigures, and will retail for US $79.99 | CAN $109.99 | UK £69.99. How does a set designed for adults in 2022 compare to the fairly recent, “Ages 7-12” 75208 Yoda’s Hut from 2018?

The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews.

Just another shower Hutt scene...

I particularly enjoy a LEGO build that injects a certain degree of humour into itself, and this little scene from Albert Lee hits the nail on the head. The brick-built Hutt captures both the contours of the body and colour of the species. Some nice parts have been used to recreate the shower with the blue web piece from a recent Spider-Mech and the water-filled hose adding some subtle action to the build. Some nice detailing then complements this vignette.

Hot Shower Scene

Have you ever wondered how the Hutts kept so clean? Neither had I!

Brotherhood lost or Anakin’s inferno?

Two peers, brothers in spirit, pitched against each other above the flowing, roiling lava of a devastated planet. This climactic battle is full of intense moments between these iconic characters, such as the one captured here in diorama form by TheCreatorr. Moments before Obi-wan defeats Anakin, they balanced atop shielded platforms and hovering droids battling for their fates. The lava swelling below them is brilliantly built with various gradients while black patches of burnt materials rise to the top.

LEGO Star Wars 75329 Death Star Trench Run and 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training revealed [News]

Thanks to Amazon.es, we’re getting our first look at a pair of brand new Star Wars sets aimed at adult collectors. First up is 75329 Death Star Trench Run, a microscale diorama featuring the famous climactic scene from A New Hope, with Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced flanked by two TIE Fighters chasing Luke Skywalker’s X-wing against the greebled, grey backdrop of the Death Star. Printed tiles on the front of the base show the LEGO Star Wars logo along with Darth Vader’s famous line “The Force is strong with this one.” The Amazon page doesn’t yet list much information, but we do know the set contains 665 pieces and will retail for €59.99, which we estimate to be US $59.99 | CAN $79.99 | UK £54.99. We also get a sneak peek at another set that’s in the same series, 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training, which is listed for €79.99 or about $79.99 USD. There’s no official word yet on when we can expect these sets to be released, though given that Amazon has begun to list them, it’s a safe bet they’ll arrive soon.

The Sith inquisitor shuttle has landed

With each new Star Wars show to land on Disney+, LEGO creators are quick to jump on board with building custom models to celebrate… With the release of the first official trailer for the upcoming series Obi-wan Kenobi Remco Rohaan has wasted no time in cranking out this model of the new Sith inquisitor shuttle first seen in concept art released earlier this year. While the overall look seems to be inspired by Orson Krennec’s imposing shuttle from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the wings are shorter and there is no large dorsal fin.

Underneath the shuttle, you can see landing gear which includes one of my favorite parts for greebly details, the top half of a hinge brick, along with square flags used for the landing gear doors.

It’s worth removing your helmet for a better look at this 17,000-piece Mandalorian Cruiser

Gankona is Japanese for “stubborn” or “headstrong.” It’s also the name of this ship, and we’re sure it took a little stubbornness on the part of the Jorstad Designs team to complete it. Inspired by the work of concept artist Ansel Hsiao, this Teroch-class Mandalorian Cruiser took more than two years and 17,000 bricks to see completion. With its gorgeous dark blue and orange highlights, this Knights of the Old Republic-era starship is light years ahead of the craft we’re used to seeing modern Mandalorians piloting.

LEGO Star Wars 75324 Dark Trooper Attack [Review]

The hit Disney+ show The Mandalorian closed out its second season with one whopper of a cameo, Luke Skywalker! Who swoops in at the last second to lay waste to an entire battalion of dark troopers. Up until now, there has only been one set to include the ominous and overpowered battle droid, the Imperial light cruiser. Well, LEGO fans of the series will soon get the chance to reenact the memorable corridor attack which closely mirrors the epic hallway scene from the end of Rogue One, without all the screams. LEGO Star Wars 75324 Dark trooper attack includes 166 pieces and will be on sale starting March 1, 2022 for US $29.99 | CAN $39.99 | UK £24.99

LEGO Star Wars 75326 Boba Fett’s Throne Room from The Book of Boba Fett [Review]

Teased at the end of the previous season of The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett recently wrapped up its limited run on Disney+. While not all limited Star Wars TV series get the LEGO Star Wars treatment, LEGO recently announced two LEGO Star Wars sets from The Book of Boba Fett. The first sets are already starting to show up in the wild, and we recently picked up 75326 Boba Fett’s Throne Room from one of the large warehouse stores. Scheduled for release on March 1st, the set includes 732 pieces with 7 minifigs and will retail for US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99 and is available for pre-order from LEGO.com now.

If you’re interested in a review of this LEGO Star Wars set, we’ll be assuming you’ve already seen the TV series. Minor spoilers ahead!

Jabba ruled with fear. I intend to rule with respect.

This LEGO creation by Omar R Ovalle is not the first we’ve seen from The Book of Boba Fett lately. Not by a long shot. Unless you’ve been slowly digesting in a Sarlacс pit these past couple of months you’d know the pivotal series on Disney+ is one of the most talked about streaming shows currently. (You were hot, Bridgerton, but not Boba Fett hot!) Anyway, the point I was trying to make is we’ve seen plenty of Fett stuff but rarely do we see anything in this scale. Omar has taken the official Boba Fett Buildable Figure set but customized it to fit the series in which Boba combines his old armor with garb given to him by Tusken Raiders. Beside him is a very convincing Fennec Shand whom I think (but don’t quote me) is a repurposed Rey figure. The throne in which they sit and the arch behind them is nothing short of brilliant.

Boba & Co.

Jet pack jumps perplex jealous Pykes.

Jonas Kramm has been doing a series of vignette builds to commemorate the induvial episodes of The Book of Boba Fett. His latest features Boba Fett and Din Djarin teaming up in the final episode’s climatic end battle. Rocketing upwards in their jetpacks, Boba and Din have gained the high ground in their battle against the Pyke Syndicate. Jonas’s vignette perfectly captures the feel of the architecture in the city of Mos Espa, from the arched doorway to the well-greebled moisture vaporator. And the angle of the photo makes it feel like the two Mandalorians are hanging in the air like magic. But, if this build is for the last episode, does it mean no more vignettes are coming our way? Fear not. You can relive the best parts of the show through builds from Jonas and more right here.

Today, images of LEGO’s latest Star Wars set, 75326 Boba Fett’s Throne Room, have been revealed on Amazon.de.
