40658: Millennium Falcon Holiday Diorama Set Review
Two words strike either fear or delight into the hearts of Star Wars fans – Holiday Special. Back in 2020, the LEGO Group teamed up with Disney to create an animated Holiday Special, one that had nothing to do with the questionable live-action special shown only once back in 1978. Both the original and Disney+ specials celebrated a holiday known as Life Day. The Disney+ Holiday Special Life Day has been given a festive twist to...
76354: Coruscant Guard Gunship Set Review
The latest LEGO® Star Wars sets are mostly inspired by the Disney+ series Ahsoka, but joining those sets is something from the Clone Wars era. The Republic Gunship has become a much-loved ship among Star Wars fans and has been the subject of various LEGO sets over the years. Most recently a Gunship was transformed into a highly detailed UCS set. But it’s been many years since we’ve seen a minifigure-scale version of the...
75357: Ghost & Phantom II Set Review
In 1983, Return of the Jedi marked the end of Star Wars. The Empire was defeated and the Rebel Alliance celebrated their victory with singing bears. Although it was the end, it was actually the beginning of something much greater. Since 1983, Star Wars has grown to create a vast collection of stories, told across books, games and TV series. None of these expanded stories has had such a greater impact on the Star Wars lexicon than the...
75364: New Republic E-Wing Vs. Shin Hati’s Starfighter Set Review
Since Disney purchased Lucasfilm, it reset the Star Wars canon making some content part of the Legends stories. That made some of the vast content created as part of the Expanded Universe no longer part of the main Star Wars canon. However, some of the recent Star Wars live-action series have delved into the Legends stories to bring some elements of the EU into the ‘Disney’ canon. This new LEGO® Star Wars set is an example...
75362: Ahsoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle Set Review
Disney+ has become a great source of inspiration for several different LEGO® sets. Star Wars in particular has benefitted from all the new characters, ships and vehicles. The latest adventures from a galaxy far, far away reunite us with former Jedi, Ahsoka and most of the crew of the Ghost. It’s been 15 years since Ahsoka was introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and since then she’s joined the Spectres in Star Wars:...
75371: Chewbacca Star Wars Set Review
You’d be forgiven for thinking that buildable characters inspired by those featured in the Star Wars universe are a fairly new addition to the LEGO® Star Wars range. But buildable characters actually have a long history within the theme, although some of the early attempts are extremely crude compared to today’s offerings. Most recent buildable characters have been inspired by smaller scale builds including Droids or alien...
75365: Yavin 4 Rebel Base Set Review
When Star Wars was first released in 1977, it not only changed cinema forever it was a film filled with iconic moments. Even though it would be many years later before I experienced a galaxy far, far away, one particular moment stood out for me. In the closing moment of A New Hope, the Empire’s Death Star has been destroyed and the Rebel forces gather on Yavin IV to celebrate their victory. As John Williams’ rousting score...
