Lego and Star Wars celebrate 25 years with new sets
Lego is marking the 25th anniversary of the collaboration between Lego and Star Wars with new anniversary products and a year-long celebration for fans across the galaxy.
The Lego Star Wars collaboration debuted in 1999 at the International Toy Fair in New York. To commemorate the milestone, 25th-anniversary building sets will launch on March 1, 2024, including a new Starship Collection line featuring brand-new builds inspired by the Millennium Falcon and the Invisible Hand starships, two building sets inspired by the Tantive IV ship, and a special 25th-anniversary edition building set honoring R2-D2. Some sets will include collectible minifigures never seen before in Lego form or anniversary tiles marking the special occasion.

“The Lego Star Wars collaboration has enjoyed a most impressive 25 years with products, video games, animated content, big builds, merchandise, and more,” said Mike Ilacqua, head of product at the Lego Group. “We want to celebrate all those years and milestones with everyone who helped us get here, but especially with the fan community as we would never be where we are today without their creativity and passion.”
Lego Star Wars 25-Second Film Festival
Also on March 1, 2024, the Lego Group will kick off the Lego Star Wars 25-Second Film Festival, which invites fans around the world to submit a 25-second film that recreates their favorite Star Wars moments (or create new ones) with Lego Star Wars building sets and minifigures.
Throughout 2024, fans will be invited to share what makes the relationship between Lego and Star Wars special to them, and some have already chimed in:
I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the Lego Star Wars fan community for 16 years. Known for my Lego Star Wars diorama builds, I’ve recently been working on a build inspired by the planet Geonosis for the past year. It’s my largest to-date at over 10ft long and features 150K+ Lego elements, including my favorite set of all time – the Lego Star Wars Republic Dropship with AT-OT Walker (10195) building set.

I have loved Star Wars my entire adult life. It is what kickstarted my Lego journey. Star Wars tells stories of hope and of good persevering. It’s incredible to see that same storytelling come alive via Lego Star Wars bricks.
