Lego has announced seven new Star Wars sets to mark the franchise's 50th anniversary, with most releasing on January 1, 2027. The lineup includes a massive recreation of the original movie poster, concept art-inspired minifigures, and sets based on iconic scenes from the saga.
Anniversary Sets and Release Details
All sets except the movie poster will be available on January 1, 2027, through Lego stores and the Lego website. The poster set will launch on January 4, but VIP members (with free sign-up) can purchase it on January 1. Each set includes either a collectible movie poster tile or an exclusive minifigure based on concept art from the original film.
The announcement comes as Lucasfilm plans to re-release the original, non-Special Edition version of A New Hope in cinemas for the first time since the 1980s, fueling nostalgia-driven merchandise.
Set Highlights
Mustafar Duel (£34.99) recreates the final confrontation between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker from Revenge of the Sith, featuring lava, a moving platform, and a concept art Han Solo minifigure.
Darth Vader 2 in 1 Wall Art (£59.99) offers a build of Vader's helmet that can be reused to create a design with his lightsaber and a famous quote, plus a Lego-fied Empire Strikes Back poster.
Stormtrooper (Concept Art) Helmet (£69.99) is the first helmet set based on Ralph McQuarrie's concept art, with homages seen in The Bad Batch and Zero Company. It includes a Rogue One poster.
Duel on Bespin (£69.99) recreates the Empire Strikes Back scene where Darth Vader reveals his backstory, with minifigures of Vader and Luke Skywalker, an action feature simulating gantry damage, and a concept Vader minifigure.

Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker Minifigure (£89.99) stands 26cm tall, wears an orange flight suit and helmet, and includes a concept art Princess Leia. It is the most complex up-scaled design yet.
The Centerpiece Movie Poster

It is Lego's first movie poster set and includes a A New Hope poster by Tom Chantrell. The set is designed to be hung on a wall, making it a fitting anniversary gift.
These seven sets mark the start of Lego's anniversary celebrations, with more releases expected later in 2027.
