The Best LEGO Star Wars Sets to Build in 2026

This was the new LEGO Star Wars sets for 2025's May the Fourth. The largest iteration of Jango Fett's Starship to date, this vessel (better known to Star Wars diehards as Slave I), can be posed either in its landing mode or its flight mode. It comes with two minifigures of Jango Fett and young Boba Fett and possesses articulable blaster cannons.

This depiction of The Mandalorian's Grogu is not an exact duplicate of the show's depiction; rather, it's been exaggerated for maximum cuteness and presentability. The arms and head move, and the arms rotate via dials on the figure's back. The Hover Pram, Grogu's high-tech space bassinet, is mounted on a square black stand and completes the overall package.

This set was part of the most recent round of new Star Wars LEGO sets to arrive in 2025, and we had the chance to actually build it ourselves.

A complementing, proportionally sized companion to the X-Wing Starfighter (#75355), this TIE Interceptor featured in Return of the Jedi as a defender of the second Death Star. We built this set at its launch, and it is currently available exclusively through the LEGO Store.

Jabba the Hutt is the slimiest, greediest gangster in the Dune Sea, and this Sailing Barge, which transports him and his cronies, is appropriately massive. It includes a full kitchen, an armory, and a prison cell for any disobedient servants. The set also comes with a Princess Leia minifigure in her slave costume, so you can recreate the iconic death scene from Return of the Jedi.

LEGO sets usually have a short production lifespan; the old sets get retired to make way for new ones. But the massive Millennium Falcon, which weighs in at 7541 pieces and launched in 2017, is still going strong. It's constantly on backorder, and for good reason; it's a modern classic amongst the LEGO faithful. It comes with two crews – the original crew, with Han, Luke, and Leia, and the sequel crew, with old Han Solo, Rey, and Finn. And it's got fully realized interiors in addition to its articulable exterior.

In 2017, back when this set launched, adult sets were the exception and not the rule. This was a groundbreaking testament to what LEGO could be. Today, with so many other sets that reach its level of complexity, it's a fulfilled example of what LEGO has become and one of the most expensive LEGO sets you can buy.

The Battle Droids in Episode I were short on competence, but long on personality and likability. This LEGO set perches a Separatist Droid on a STAP speeder; you can also remove and stand him separately with his blaster gun. The set comes with a minifigure-scaled droid and STAP, which you can pose right next to its big brother. We built and photographed this set at its launch.

First introduced in Return of the Jedi, the AT-ST has a distinctive, two-legged appearance, which made them memorable adversaries for the underdog Ewoks, who used logs, slings, and arrows to take them down. This model is rotatable and posable, and its top opens to reveal a two-person cockpit.

Shockingly, the best LEGO Star Wars set out now is not the 9000+ piece Death Star. Instead, it's this Gingerbread AT-AT, which comes with a miniature gingerbread Darth Vader. If you're buying for a Star Wars lover this holiday season, you can't go wrong with this adorable build, which has Christmas lights on its chassis, candy canes for its turrets, and sugar icing on its edges. Plus, the price is right. We built, photographed, and reviewed this set, and we can't recommend it enough.

It might not cut as impressive a figure as its older, bigger brother from seven years ago, but this version of the Imperial Star Destroyer does have several advantages. It's more portable for one, which makes easier to incorporate into one's home decor. It comes with seven minifigures, including one of Cal Kestis from the Fallen Order and Survivor video games. And lastly, unlike the prior Destroyer, which was only a shell of a starship, this model opens up to reveal a bridge, command room, break room, and armory.

Fun and whimsical, this massive Darth Vader minifigure is scaled up to six times the size of a regular LEGO minifigure. It includes a large fabric cape and a red lightsaber that Vader can hold at different angles in his right hand.

How Many Star Wars LEGO Sets Are There?

There have been a lot of Star Wars LEGO sets over the years, and more and more new options arrive every year. As of June 2026, 83 LEGO Star Wars sets are available at the LEGO store, with options from pretty much every movie and show in the series.

Why Star Wars and LEGO is a Perfect Fit

Lots of times, when LEGO creates a set, it is an uncanny approximation of something real. The artistry is in making these bricks, rods, pins, and gears fit together and do something that perhaps, they weren't originally meant to do. But when it comes to Star Wars LEGO sets – especially the more massive ones – the vehicles and droids look unusually "native" – as if LEGO itself was conceived with Star Wars in mind. It's why the 4784-piece Imperial Star Destroyer looks more like a genuine Star Destroyer rather than a "LEGO" Star Destroyer.

This is part auspiciousness; the Star Wars universe is very angular, with clean lines that lend themselves to the LEGO aesthetic, And this also part effort; the designers put an outsized amount of time into "greebling" – the attention to micro surface detail that makes a monochromatic surface look layered, technically functional and interesting.

LEGO Star Wars sets, in other words, are in a class of their own.
