Looking for the best LEGO Star Wars sets? You’ve come to the right place. This is the article you’ve been looking for.
For some, LEGO Star Wars sets are a way of life. For fans of Star Wars, they’re reminders of some of the most important characters, battles, and ships made famous by George Lucas’ creation. When you combine the LEGO brand with nostalgia of Star Wars, you arrive at a match made in heaven.
Some of these sets are several hundred dollars; others aren’t going to break the bank. If you wanted to buy every LEGO in this article, you’d spend well over $10,000. Insane, right?
Anyways, here’s a pretty comprehensive list of the best LEGO Star Wars money can buy. You might not agree with my rankings, but that’s okay. They’re still correct anyways. Here’s my personal top picks for the Top 50 Best LEGO Star Wars sets.
1. LEGO STAR WARS DEATH STAR 10188
From my perspective, the LEGO Death Star is the ultimate Star Wars LEGO set. Although this particular one has been discontinued, you can still get one on Amazon for around $575. I recently saw one of these assembled, and the sheer size of the Death Star is nothing short of absurd. There’s a reason why this set is so expensive; the LEGO Death Star features 3,200+ pieces. It includes a Tie Fighter, and 24 character pieces including Princess Leia, and many others.
Han Solo would definitely be pleased to learn that the most important ship in the galaxy was given rather impressive LEGO set. There’s several different versions of the LEGO Millennium Falcon, but none more legendary than this one. Featuring a staggering 7,541 pieces, you’ll need to set aside some serious time to put this one together. You’ll also need to be prepared to drop a staggering $799.99, putting this set among the most expensive Star Wars LEGO on this list.
Better known as Boba Fett’s transport ship, the Slave I was designed with a sinister purpose – track down his bounties, and transport them to their final destination.. usually frozen in carbonate. Perhaps the coolest thing about this set is that it features a miniature Han Solo in Carbonite character. The original will set you back almost $400 though, although LEGO released an anniversary version that will help you save some galactic credits. Can they hurry up and make a LEGO Mandalorian shuttle already?
Straight out of the original Star Wars, the Imperial Star Destroyer is a massive LEGO build. Like the Millennium Falcon, this Star Destroyer is among the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series, which basically means this set is guaranteed to be both massive, and highly detailed. The Imperial Star Destroyer has 4,784 pieces, and once completed measures almost 4 feet long. Definitely not a LEGO for beginners or the faint of heart. This is a project… no more like a commitment. It even comes with a display stand. $699.99 is a steep price to pay, but for a replica Star Destroyer you get to build yourself, it’s totally worth it, right?
The black and orange X-Wing had a significant role beginning with The Force Awakens. Poe and his fighter was instrumental to crushing the First Order in several different battles. It’s also just fun to say Poe Dameron. This X-Wing is one of the better LEGO sets you can buy, and unlike some of the others you won’t have to take out a second mortgage just to afford it.
Gold Leader, standing by. Coming in just under 2,000 pieces, the Y-Wing Starfighter is among the elite Ultimate Collector Series LEGO Star Wars sets. The Y-Wing first made it’s appearance in A New Hope, and had an important role throughout the original trilogy. Once constructed, it’s over 2 feet long and comes with an R2-BHD Astromech droid. Of course, there’s also a “Gold Leader” character in there as well. As far as LEGO Star Wars spaceships are concerned, this one is near the top of the list.
Big tree fall hard. The original AT-AT was one of the more imposing pieces of attack machinery conjured up by the Empire. George Lucas’ vision of the slow-walking, laser-beam firing, all-terrain armored transport is four-legged monstrosity capable of obliterating Rebel bases (once within range). Even though they have an achilles heel (tripping), they’re still pretty awesome and worth displaying in your home. This AT-AT LEGO set contains 137 pieces and features a trap door and a movable head which opens up allowing you to arrange characters in the cockpit.
Ever since I was boy, I’ve woken up to nightmares of Luke Skywalker yelling “DAK!” while his buddy helplessly crashed and burned into the cold snow, during the Empire’s Assault on Hoth. Maybe more significantly though was the speeder takedown of the AT-AT, which for me ranks among the most memorable scenes in cinema history. This little snowspeeder only has 279 number of pieces, but don’t let its size fool you. Harpoons and tow hooks for the win!
Beep boop beep. Despite the Mandalorian’s distrust of droids, R2-D2 is one droid that’s earned your trust.Throughout the entire Star Wars saga, R2-D2 was essential to the success of the rebellion. Whether it was helping guide Luke in the X-Wing, carrying Death Star blueprints, or flinging lightsaber to Luke while helping the gang escape Jabba the Hut, the lovable droid was always there when needed. Like many others in this list, LEGO discontinued this version of the R2-D2 LEGO, but it remains the best. This 2,127 piece set stands exactly a foot tall, and is one of the more enjoyable LEGO Star Wars to assemble.
Assuming you’ve got your mind made up on owning Star Destroyer LEGO, you absolutely need to keep add this one to your wish list. The LEGO Super Star Destroyer is an absolute beast of a set, featuring over 3,100 pieces. It’s over 4 feet long. Seriously, this thing is a beast. Unfortunately for the Empire, it can in fact, be destroyed.
The X-Wing ranks among the greatest sci-fi spaceships of all-time. Whether it’s Luke Skywalker or Poe Dameron in the cockpit, the X-Wing always shows up in the most important battles. When the wings spread to attack formation, you know it’s going down. This Red Five X-Wing is a LEGO classic, featuring 1,558 pieces. Since you’re definitely wondering – yes, it absolutely comes with R2-D2.
Maybe I’m just partial to the original trilogy, but the LEGO Tantive IV is one of the greatest of all-time. With over 1,768 pieces, it’s consistently ranked as one of the best LEGO Star Wars sets. Once you finish putting it together, you’ll smile as you realize it’s exactly 2 feet long. This is one you need to buy, without a doubt.
Referring to the events at Cloud City as betrayal has always bothered me. What was Lando supposed to do when Darth Vader showed up? They gave him no choice! If a mass-murdering part-android psychopath shows up at your front door and can literally force choke you to death, chances are you’re going to do what he says, am I right? Regardless, this set is one of the better LEGOs ever made, featuring 2,869 pieces and all your favorite characters. With a price tag of $549.99, your bank account might feel betrayed.
If you’re real Star Wars fan, the Sandcrawler requires no explanation. This beast is manned by Jawas, designed to roam in the desert. Any Sandcrawler LEGO set would obviously be incomplete without Uncle Owen, R2-D2 and Luke Skywalker. Taking it back to where it all started. This LEGO is deceptively huge, featuring 3,296 pieces. You too can pretend to scavenge the desert for parts that you definitely stole, pawning them off to strangers for a profit.
Leave it to J.J. Abrams to improve on Star Wars classic in the AT-AT. Dubbed the First Order Assault Walker, this thing has one thing on it’s mind – utter destruction. This Assault Walker set comes with 1,376 pieces and looks majestic once it’s put together. In terms of the bigger Star Wars LEGO sets, this one happens to be reasonably affordable. Definitely a worthy addition to your arsenal of villainous LEGO Star Wars.
The original bad guy aircraft is none other than Darth Vader’s TIE fighter. The ultimate Star Wars villain sent a few of Luke’s buddies to the afterlife, and nearly took out his own son before Han Solo unexpectedly swooped in and saved the day. The original version of this Darth Vader TIE fighter will set you back a pretty penny, but LEGO has since released anniversary editions. Now you have no excuse not to buy one. Don’t fail me for the last time.
We could never forget about Jabba’s Sail Barge! You know, the spot where R2-D2 miraculously launched lightsaber to Luke, who freed himself and saved the good guys from an incredibly slow, painful death? This also brings me to realize that up until this point, Jabba was living the dream. Not only did he have his own palace, pet Rancor, and Princess Leia on a chain… but he also had his own sail barge? If I were living in the middle of the desert in a palace, you bet I’d have a sail barge. Nothing like a sail barge party. Until things unexpectedly head south, that is. This LEGO Party Barge has 850 pieces, and a miniature Jabba the Hut piece among others. Come on, this is a classic!
My favorite villain character in the entire Star Wars universe was chopped in half by Obi Wan, but not before sending Qui Gon to blue ghost mode in one of the only watchable scenes of Episode I: The Phantom Menace. In addition to wielding the infamous dual lightsaber, Darth Maul had pretty wicked ship called the Infiltrator, featured in Maul’s pursuit of young Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine. This Infiltrator LEGO set comes with 662 pieces, including a miniature Darth Maul character among others.
Even though TIE fighters seem to get blown up repeatedly in Star Wars, they’re still pretty sweet little flying machines. That noise they make when they’re whizzing through space is like nothing else. Don’t pretend like you’re not trying to make the TIE fighter noise at this exact moment. The Imperial fighting spaceship of choice stands a foot and a half tall. Without it, who is your LEGO X-Wing going to blow up?
Luke Skywalker had rather interesting encounter when attempting to rescue Han and Leia from Jabba’s Palace. Despite not having his trusty green lightsaber to make quick work of the Rancor, he still managed to slay the caged beast with some Jedi trickery. Jabba’s disgusting laugh turned to dismay when he watched as Luke put down his large pet. Jabba wouldn’t last too long himself afterwards. Like the Rancor itself, this Rancor Pit LEGO is big. Unlike the Rancor, it’s not stupid.
I give the Empire credit; they do have some impressive machinery when it comes to the battlefield. The US Government should definitely build real-life version of the AT-ST. What could go wrong? This particular AT-ST LEGO is more expensive than others, because it’s much harder to find. The 10174 set is the definitive AT-ST LEGO, so be prepared to shell out some major bucks to snag yourself one.
Disney might have tried little too hard to recreate the love for little droids like R2-D2 with BB-8, but you can’t help but still like the little orange thing. Even Rey’s initial annoyance turned to affection, which means we should all learn to appreciate BB-8. This BB-8 LEGO set has over 1,106 pieces and makes a great companion for the R2-D2 set. The little LEGO is cool, but I’ll be more excited once someone starts selling a real version BB-8. Oh yeah, Samsung might actually just be working on something like that.
The epic clash on Hoth was one of the best scenes in The Empire Strikes Back, which many consider as the greatest Star Wars movie of all-time. This LEGO set will let you relive the battle, which didn’t end up going so well for the Rebel’s Echo Base. At least they took down that one AT-AT, right? This set has 2,144 pieces and will certainly set you back a few hundred dollars. If you ask me, this is among the must-have LEGO Star Wars sets.
This is the way. The Mandalorian has been massive hit and boon for Disney+. I never knew I’d care so much about a bounty hunter spinoff series, but that speaks to the effect that Baby Yoda can have, I suppose. This AT-ST Raider is one of very few Mandalorian LEGO sets that have popped up, but I expect we’ll see a whole lot more in the near future. Disney, please continue to give us all the Star Wars, all the time. We’re all the way here for it.
It’s hard to keep track of all of Kylo Ren’s ships. The man literally has ship for every single occasion. This particular LEGO set is his preferred craft in the final installment of the Skywalker saga. In true Kylo Ren fashion, it’s cloaked in black and looks pretty sweet, especially considering it’s just a shuttle and not a traditional fighter.
What if I told you, that the Battle of Endor was just giant distraction? A bunch of teddy bears creating havoc so that Luke and Han Solo could stealth-mode to the Death Star and finish what they started? Regardless of why it happened, the battle of Endor was ridiculous amounts of fun. This Battle of Endor LEGO set has 890 pieces and also includes an AT-ST scout, so it’s basically a great deal all the way around. Oh, and did I mention that there are two speeder bikes included? Now you’re sold.
Who is Krennic and why should you care about his shuttle? He’s obviously the Imperial villain played by Ben Mendelsohn in Rogue One. Because we’re team Ben Mendelsohn, this LEGO set immediately becomes cooler than a bunch of the others on this list. Imperial shuttles are awesome in their own right. This set has 863 pieces and isn’t cheap, but it’s not like you’re here to save money anyways, right?
Rogue One was one of the greatest Star Wars movies ever made. One of the best parts of Rogue One was the extended scenes in none other than Darth Vader’s castle. This set commemorates evil-Anakin’s lair in a most fitting LEGO tribute with just over 1,000 pieces. If like Kylo Ren, you’re way too into Darth Vader, this is one you should definitely have in your nerd paradise. Because of course Darth Vader would have a castle surrounded by molten lava. It’s not like he’s had any bad experiences with molten lava in the past, right?
Any LEGO Star Wars aficionado would most certainly agree that LEGO Yoda is a must-have for any collection. As far as LEGO Star Wars buildable characters go, this is one of the best, right alongside the discontinued R2-D2 model. If you haven’t gone back and watched Attack of the Clones recently (and we strongly recommend that you do not), Yoda was arguably at the height of his powers. In one epic battle vs. General Grievous, he did about 729 backflips before ending Grievous’ day. At least we have peak Yoda to look back on.
READY MY SHIP! Perhaps the coolest scene in Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker was Kylo Ren hurtling through desert landscape towards an awaiting Rey. Spoiler alert: In an incredible display of air gymnastics, Rey ends up backflipping into a saber slice, wrecking Kylo’s machine while he somewhat hilariously somersaulted into one of the most embarrassing crash landings of all time. I’ll point out that this same TIE fighter was also featured in the Last Jedi, where Kylo had a much better time barrel rolling through space, destroying Resistance fighters in his path.
There isn’t whole lot to love about Episode II: The Clone Wars, but at least we got this Clone Wars Turbo Tank LEGO set out of the whole debacle. Surprisingly, this one is fun to put together. If you close your eyes and forget about the actual movie itself, you might just find this set is one of the cooler LEGO Star Wars you can buy.
The Last Jedi is without question, the most polarizing Star Wars movie of all-time. Okay, at least if you throw out the prequels, but I’d argue that it’s even more polarizing than any of the original three. Setting aside the entire plot and direction of the movie, it’s hard to argue that the opening scene with the Resistance Bomber wasn’t at the very least, entertaining. Sure, it might have been a bit ridiculous, but the resistance bomber taking out a dreadnought was still a pretty good space battle. More importantly, this LEGO set is worth owning.
Can’t get enough AT-ST’s, that’s what I always say. There’s just something about the two-legged walkers that tickles my fancy. Hold on, didn’t James Cameron make something similar in Avatar? Wait, did James Cameron borrow the AT-ST concept and make it fit for his movie with those human controlled robot fighters? Anyways, this LEGO set is pretty impressive in its own right.
You might be wondering about this one, but trust me… it’s worthwhile addition. The Imperial Conveyex was featured in the Han Solo origin movie, remember? Ah yes, it’s all coming back to you now. Any lego set that features a massive locomotive with a turret is a win for me. 622 pieces isn’t a ton, but it does come with Han Solo and Chewie. Did I mention that Solo: A Star Wars story is an underrated movie? There, I said it.
While Obi-Wan was battling Darth Maul, Anakin managed his way into Naboo starfighter… conspicuously left unattended in the hanger. Despite the fact that Obi-Wan gave Anakin clear instructions to stay in his ship, Anakin was of course thrust into space and flew this thing like a seasoned professional. This little ship served Anakin well. The LEGO version has 442 pieces and won’t take you super long to put together, but still looks cool in the end.
Who wouldn’t want the LEGO Imperial Landing Craft, one of the best spaceships from the original trilogy? This set comes with 636 pieces and they even threw in a miniature Obi-Wan Kenobi. If you’re a diehard Star Wars fan, this one is a no-brainer. While it doesn’t look as cool as some of the other Imperial ships, it’s definitely got the nostalgic vibe that you most definitely are looking for.
Kylo Ren likes options when he flies through space. If he’s set on blowing some stuff up, he definitely takes the Tie Fighter. If he’s more in the mood of cruising in comfort en route to capturing Rey, he takes the command shuttle. In the Force Awakens, Rey initially put up good fight but eventually Kylo knocked her unconscious and whisked her away on his ship. The LEGO version of Kylo’s Command Shuttle is pretty slick. It’s just over 1,000 pieces and comes with a miniature Kylo Ren, of course.
For whatever reason, people love this Jedi Starfighter LEGO set. Perhaps it’s the absurd design with the circular hyperdrive arm, who knows. To me, it just looks ridiculous. But the people have spoken, and they seem to love putting this one together. This ship was featured in Attack of the Clones, which I’m still trying to erase from my memory. Coming in at 825 pieces, it’s a smaller set but still complex enough to be interesting.
Imperial spaceships are always kind of cool, are they not? Whether it’s Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Kylo Ren, or some other maniac… you can’t argue with their style in space. This LEGO Imperial Shuttle is more famous for being stolen, however. During the Battle of Endor, the good guys used the stolen Tydirium to board the Death Star and deactivate the Empire’s shields. Luke of course was on board, headed to face Vader and Palpatine in the Throne room. If you’re going to steal an Empire ship, this is the one.
It’s never good day when you’re planning on seeing an old friend, and instead you’re frozen in Carbonite by a bounty hunter and a heavy-breathing dude in a mask. Sadly, this was Han Solo’s fate in the Empire Strikes Back. Lando unjustifiably gets a lot of blame for betraying his friend, but I don’t quite see it that way. Either way, this Carbon-Freezing Chamber set is small, but represents a significant scene in Star Wars. The price is reasonable, too.
There’s nothing quite like village full of aggressive teddy bears. The Ewoks were a welcome, if not ridiculous addition to The Return of the Jedi. Those little rascals helped bring down the Empire for crying out loud. Despite their odd obsession with C-3PO, they were somehow skilled warriors capable of ruining the day for more than a handful of stormtroopers. If I’m ever captured by an Ewok, I refuse to be taken alive.
The LEGO Assault Carrier is 1,216 pieces. Perhaps, this is the biggest example of LEGO just wanting to make another Imperial set that looks cool and costs a decent amount of money. This little guy was featured in the Star Wars Rebels series, which maybe is why it doesn’t ring a bell right away. But rest assured, this set is sweet and your kids will love it. And by your kids, I definitely mean you. Because you’re not fooling anyone despite what you tell yourself; none of these are actually for your kids. You just want more LEGO Star Wars. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that at all.
This Duel on Naboo LEGO set isn’t huge like it should be, but it still makes the list. The final showdown with Darth Maul is still a blast to rewatch, even if the rest of the Phantom Menace is kind of meh. If only Obi-Wan had been a little faster, he wouldn’t have left his master to face a Sith on his own. Better yet, what if George Lucas had kept Darth Maul around for the rest of the prequels? Seriously, RIP Darth Maul. You were gone too soon. Gone, but not forgotten. By me at least.
For the 8 people that actually enjoyed the Clone Wars, LEGO made set built around Anakin’s Jedi Starfighter. This set comes with 247 pieces, making it one of the smallest LEGO Star Wars on this list. You do get a miniature Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2, but there’s better options out there for sure. It’s kind of cool, I guess?
The Empire seems to always be tracking, someone or some thing. Why are they always tracking? They’re obsessed with tracking. Anyways, here’s LEGO Imperial Tracker, which is actually M-OC’s spaceship of choice. The Emperor’s killer droid doesn’t actually make an appearance in the movies you’ve seen, but that didn’t stop LEGO from making a sweet little fighter set for you to build. If you already knew who M-OC was, you’re definitely overly obsessed with Star Wars.
Why have scout walker when you can have a heavy scout walker instead? This LEGO set comes by way of the First Order, and it definitely looks cool once you finish building it. With 554 pieces, the Heavy Scout Walker isn’t the biggest LEGO set out there, but you still probably want to pick this one up. Coming in around $50, it’s certainly more affordable than a lot of the others.
If you didn’t enjoy The Phantom Menace, you’re not alone. That being said, there was certainly something to like. Aside from the legend of Darth Maul, Anakin’s podracing adventures on Tatooine come to mind. They even made podracing video game for Nintendo 64, which is kind of hilarious when you think about it. Also, that movie is over 20 years old… makes you feel kind of old right? This rare set features both Anakin and Sebubla’s podracers. Sebubla, that sly little scumbag. He definitely got what he deserved after messing with Anakin’s pod before the race.
In my opinion, Snoke turned out to be one of the dumbest characters in the entire Star Wars universe. He was supposed to be this super powerful Supreme Leader, but he ended up getting sliced in half by his own protege in Kylo Ren. The events that followed Snoke’s demise played out with Rey and Kylo teaming up (temporarily) to destroy room full of Imperial guards. Reylo’s team effort was one of the best scenes in an otherwise unfortunate film. LEGO wisely decided to commemorate the scene with the Snoke Throne Room LEGO kit. Amazon is patiently awaiting your purchase.
There’s so many spaceships in Star Wars – honesetly, it’s kind of hard to keep up with them all. In addition to the X-Wing, Y-Wing, A-Wing, there’s also U-Wing. The Rebel Alliance certainly liked to have options with their fleet. Which makes me wonder, who was funding the rebel alliance, enough that they could build these incredible planes? I digress. This U-Wing fighter is an 859-piece set, and your set wouldn’t be complete without it. We all owe George Lucas a debt of gratitude for making the ships easy to remember. The one that’s shaped like a U… duh. Okay, now I get it. Thanks George.
Star Wars had ton of amazing battle scenes, but I’d make the argument that there weren’t enough tanks. Good news though, you can build your own Republic Fighter Tank with this LEGO set. At 305 pieces, it won’t take up an entire room, but not every LEGO needs to. If you’re like me, you might be running out of space to put your LEGO Star Wars sets at this point.
Well, there you have it. 50 of the best LEGO Star Wars sets that money can buy. You know what you have to do, you just don’t know if you have the strength to do it.
Assuming you haven’t yet started a massive collection of LEGO Star Wars, now is the time. Here’s a few other articles to spark some inspiration:
