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...

75363: The Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter Microfighter Review

The Microfighters sets were first introduced in 2014 and since then have been slowly drip-feeding us tiny versions of iconic ships and vehicles from the Star Wars universe. Some of the latest Microfighters have been inspired by the Star Wars Disney+ series, The Mandalorian. The set I’ll be taking a look at today feels like it was released ages ago, partly due to it being revealed back in March and because it’s the second...

75348: Mandalorian Fang Fighter Vs. TIE Interceptor Set Review

After the secrecy behind the first season of The Mandalorian kept LEGO® fans waiting for sets based on the Disney+ series, the third season has inspired a decent number of new sets. With each new episode, a set was revealed inspired by Mando’s most recent adventures. The set I’m taking a look at today is inspired by the final episode of season 3, in which the reunited Mandalorian forces, battle against Moff Gideon’s...
