Lego Star Wars (stylized in all caps) is a Lego theme based on the Star Wars media franchise and fictional universe created by George Lucas. It includes over 928 Lego building toy sets, 1389 Lego minifigures, an eponymous video game series containing six games, and multiple animated short films and television series.
Originally it was only licensed from 1998 to 2009, but The Lego Group extended the license with Lucasfilm, first until 2011, then until 2016, then again until 2022, and then once more until 2032.
Lego Star Wars is based on the Star Wars saga and franchise. The product line directly focuses on the Star Wars characters from the films and TV Series, with the exception of a few special characters. It was first announced in February 1999 at the North American International Toy Fair, serving as a tie-in to ', that would be released in May.
The Lego Star Wars designers have revealed how they have "changed strategy" to get popular minifigures into cheaper and more accessible sets. Lego Star Wars Creative Lead Jens Kronvold Frederikcen explained, "We have changed our strategy a little bit over the years," and continued, "Where in the past, we often kept some of them â the most important especially â for the higher prices, we are now thinking young kids, maybe newcomers to Star Wars, want to get into it."
The designers revealed the Force Ghost minifigures as a result of changes to the company's transparent plastic. Creative Lead Jens Kronvold Frederikcen, "The reason for not doing it was that the minifigures are made out of many different types of plastic, because they need to have different abilities and characteristics," Design Director Michael Lee Stockwell explained, "Some have to be flexible, some need to use clutch power and whatnot," and continued, "So the hands are different material than the heads, for example."
Stockwell explained how coming up with playsets based on new shows and movies is trickier than creating vehicles. Referring to a Lego set based on The Mandalorian, Stockwell explained, "We were interested in [the Armourer's forge] already from the first season, but we didn't know enough about the context," and continued, "We didn't know enough of what was happening around this. That's one of the major differences between designing a ship and a playset like this, because it's sometimes easier to understand a ship."
The designers explained the Death Star (set number: 75316) is a great example of how they decide which sets to produce. Frederiksen explained, "If it's something that's exposed in more places, then there's a high chance that it's popular," and continued, "We did the same thing when creating stuff from Star Trek. We always thought the best set was [vehicles] that were both from the prequel movies, but also in The Clone Wars, [because] then we make more people happy."
The designers explained the design process of a minifigures and how they feel responsible for their accuracy. Lego Star Wars designer Madison O'Neil explained, "Part of that is just trying to fit these details in. The leg print, the arm print, wherever we can that's a new thing that we're starting to be able to do a little bit more of which is great to have the capacity to do that. We work within these frames that we have within the company that everyone has, and we just try to do the absolute best we can."
The first few sets based on the original trilogy were released in 1999, coinciding with the release of '. Sets based on the prequel trilogy of Star Wars would follow, starting with Episode I â The Phantom Menace. As each new film in the prequel trilogy neared its release date, Lego issued new models of ships and scenes in those films, as well as additional sets from the original trilogy. Lego also produced models based on , ', ', , Rebels, ', ', Rogue One, ', ', Resistance, The Mandalorian, ', ', The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars: Andor, Ahsoka, and '. Sets based on ', , , and have also been produced.
According to the Lego-owned marketplace BrickLink, The Lego Group has, released a total of 928 Lego sets and promotional polybags and 1389 minifigures as part of its Lego Star Wars theme.
As of 2022, The Lego Group has confirmed the Lego Star Wars theme will continue until December 2032.
Some minifigures repeatedly appear across multiple Lego sets, while others can be very rare, vastly increasing their resale value. Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader are the themes most prominent minifigures while battle droids are, by quantity, one of the most often appearing minifigures in all of Lego. The first Lego Star Wars minifigures to ever be released were Luke Skywalker and Ben Kenobi from #7110 "Landspeeder". Tan colored OOM battle droids are the first Lego Star Wars minifigure by production code (sw0001a) and have only four different unique designs, all of which are only different oriented arms and an additional backplate. Lego switched the skin tone from yellow to a more natural skin tone between 2003 and 2004, and by 2005 the yellow skin tone was retired in the Lego Star Wars line. In 2019, the number of Lego Star Wars minifigures has surpassed 1000, with the Battlefront II protagonist Iden Versio bearing code sw1000.
In addition to the regular Minifigure-scale sets, Lego has released 37 sets in their Ultimate Collector Series line, also known as UCS. Starting in 2000 with models of the X-Wing and TIE Interceptor, these models are known for being considerably larger, more detailed, and meant more for display purposes than other sets. As a result, they tend to cost more than other Lego Star Wars sets. They often include an information plaque and display stand. For example, the 2017 UCS version of the Millennium Falcon contained 7541 pieces, including 10 Minifigures, and was the largest Lego Star Wars set ever released at the time, and the fifth largest set of any collection ever commercially released. On June 5, 2015, a sealed box of the older 2007 Millennium Falcon Lego set (10179) was auctioned at online auction house Catawiki for â¬5,000 ($5556.50 USD at the time), making it the most expensive Lego set to ever be sold on the secondhand market. The Death Star (75419), which released on October 1, 2025, contains 9019 pieces and surpassed the 2017 Millennium Falcon as the largest UCS set on release by piece count, and was the first Lego set ever to be sold for $1,000 USD at MSRP.
This list contains every Lego Star Wars set released under the Ultimate Collectors Series line, and contain some of the most notable sets in the Lego Star Wars line.
With similar complexity to the Ultimate Collector Series sets, sets in the Master Builder Series are designed with more interactivity in mind, featuring numerous play features, functions, and interiors for Minifigures compared to UCS sets, which mainly prioritize display and often forego interiors. The first set of the line was 2018's Betrayal at Cloud City (75222). This was followed by the Mos Eisley Cantina (75290), released in 2020. As of the Mos Eisley Cantinas retirement in 2025, there are no Master Builder Series sets currently being sold.
Starting in 2020, Lego began releasing display-focused sets based off of helmets from the Star Wars universe, starting with Boba Fett's helmet (75277), a Stormtrooper helmet (75276), and a TIE Fighter Pilot helmet (75274). Similar to UCS sets, Helmet Collection sets showcase the helmet on a black brick-built stand with a related plaque.
In 2022, Lego introduced its Diorama Collection, which intends to replicate exact scenes from the series in small, detailed display sets, beginning with three sets based off of scenes from A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.
At the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show, Lego officially announced and demonstrated Smart Brick, a special Lego piece with rechargeable, electronic internals that could react with certain sets using motion, color, and NFC sensing technology, as well as a corresponding line of Lego sets that utilized it. The first wave of sets, which were exclusively of the Star Wars theme, was released on March 1st of that year to mixed critical reception due to high pricing, poor audio quality, and only some sets including the Smart Brick itself.
On August 1, 2020, Lego released Star Wars The Sith (31200) under the Lego Art theme. This consists of 3,406 pieces and offers builders the option to recreate any one of the three Star Wars villains (Darth Maul, Kylo Ren, and Darth Vader) in a mosaic-like format using Lego 1x1 studs.
