When the two most powerful forces in the galaxy come together, the results are mind-boggling. No, we are not talking about a sudden alliance of the Sith and Jedi. This refers to the combination of the Star Wars universe and our adored LEGO constructors since childhood. And the main satisfaction is brought not so much by the final model of the cult ship or character, as by the imagination played out during the assembly process. Various variations of the X-Wing or TIE fighters can take any fan of the cult saga to the heart.
It is worth noting that LEGO cannot be called exclusively children's entertainment: for example, in support of this fact there are many unusual original sets that are intended to be bought by collectors for fabulous sums. So, if you are nostalgic for one of the cultures described (or even two at once), then especially for you, here are the best LEGO sets dedicated to the theme of 'Star Wars'.
AT-ST
The bipedal AT-ST, with its clumsy gait and heavy armored cockpit, is one of the most recognizable symbols of the galaxy far, far away. This 449-piece LEGO model takes about 75 minutes to assemble, with all the pieces spread over 3 small cases, so you can sit back for a few minutes while building without leaving a bunch of pieces scattered around.
One of the main advantages of this set is the presence of three LEGO-figures that can 'sit' inside the armored car through a special hatch on the roof.
TIE
The TIE fighter is the second largest model in the LEGO collection for the launch of the Rogue One spin-off. This model also includes three Imperial Crew figures. In addition, it consists of 543 parts, which will take 276 steps to assemble and 2 hours of your time. Although TIE is the most expensive set in the new LEGO series dedicated to the latest film, the stunning looks of the finished model will surely not leave you indifferent.
Imperial Assault Ship
The Imperial Stormtrooper, like the sets described above, is equipped with three infantrymen, but at the same time it can be called one of the smallest LEGO Star Wars models. The set consists of 385 pieces and thanks to its compact size, this model does not take up much shelf space next to other LEGO figures from the Star Wars universe.
'Millennium Falcon'
Han Solo's modified YT-300 light truck is undoubtedly one of the main icons of this MCU. The latest LEGO edition of the ship appeared simultaneously with The Force Awakens and, in addition to a model of 1330 parts, includes mini-figurines of characters known to us from the seventh part, among them: Ray, Finn, Han Solo, Chewbacca, aggressive giant alien leeches, a bounty hunter and the hit robot BB-8.
The Death Star
If you consider yourself a perfectionist or just want to build a complete collection of Star Wars-themed LEGO sets, then this model will be your cherished dream. It consists of 4000 (!) Parts and 24 characters, including, for example, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, assassin droid, stormtroopers, C-3PO, R2D2, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, royal guards, R2-Q5 droid and others.
AT-AT
One of the largest machines in the galaxy. For the first time this colossus appeared in the film 'The Empire Strikes Back' (1980) and amazed the audience with its, to put it mildly, impressive size. Today, the AT-AT makes no less impression on fans of the world's most famous designer – the assembled model of a giant walker has dimensions of 321,133 cm, which will noticeably distinguish it on your shelf from other exhibits in the collection.
Epilogue
That's the end of the story about the best (cheat. Most famous and popular) LEGO sets dedicated to the immortal creation of George Lucas. If once, even for a very long time, you were a fan of these designers, then surely you still fondly remember those times when you could sit the whole evening collecting and modifying models from your collection.
Well, those who are not familiar with such a phenomenon as LEGO can purchase sets from today's selection (better late than never), having previously reviewed all parts of Star Wars for a greater 'immersion' in culture. Yes, these models are not cheap, but with them you get a high quality product and a sense of belonging to the original collection. In the end, this is a great gift option and a 100% way to awaken the child in yourself.
