Star Wars™ Day is famously celebrated on May the Fourth but the new sets, gifts with purchase (GwP) and offers are already available to LEGO® Insiders!
In addition to what we discuss in this article, there are also LEGO Insiders Rewards available and Star Wars Day offers including some with double loyalty points; some have quadruple!
In March this year, The LEGO Group launched a new play concept: LEGO® SMART Play™. This system consists of the SMART Brick, and tags hidden inside SMART Tiles and SMART Minifigures. Is that a whole lotta smart, or will the results really smart?
In this, our first article examining the system, the focus is on all the new molds the products introduce. Aside from the specific Smart Play molds, the sets also bring some general useful elements!
It has been ten years since Star Wars™ Episode VII: The Force Awakens was released and we were introduced to BB-8™. In my opinion, the little rolling droid was one of the stand-out features of that first film of the Disney era. Love or hate the sequel trilogy, I think it's difficult to deny that BB-8 is one of its successes.
The LEGO® Star Wars™ 75440 AT-AT™ is firmly aimed at the adult market. It says so on the product page on the LEGO website, twice. At least. So if you're a child: don't get any ideas, this is for adults!
EDIT: This product will initially only be made available in the US, UK (not Republic of Ireland), France, Germany, Poland and Australia.
With LEGO® Star Wars™ sets that will use LEGO SMART Play™ technology now available to pre-order, and some more general information to hand about this new technology, we have updated this article on 9 January 2026.
Our team member Zach Hill was inside the presentation hall, and recognised fan media (like ourselves) have since had a separate presentation which added a little more insight. Read on for details!
LEGO® Star Wars™ has been around for 26 years without a break. Despite being galaxy-wide, the theme has been making certain subjects over and over again. Although minifigure scale has been the standard, the first large-scale characters – using both LEGO® System and LEGO® Technic System bricks – were released soon after the theme's beginning. Recently, we have seen statuesque, LEGO System-based character models such as 75371 Chewbacca (see my Chewbacca review) and 75398 C-3PO (see my review of the parts in C-3PO). These have been 18+ sets sporting an extravagant air, with blue-on-black information plaques and designer remarks in the instructions.
75428 Battle Droid with STAP seems to be something in between those and normal sets. It has standard instructions without remarks, and no 18+ branding on the box – the age mark is 12+. The model is poseable, but on the other hand, it has the aforementioned plaque and a sleek, black stand. However, my passion lies in some new recolours it has, which imply that we're getting some sweet ball joint recolours for the first time since 2011. Thus, this article features a parts review, a set review, an "Old Elementary" section and an original model by me. Roger roger!
It’s only 89 days till Christmas! Time to start decorating, and as in previous years, The LEGO Group is releasing sets in various sizes to help you get into the holiday spirit. This year, we get tree ornaments, a gingerbread house, an up-scaled Saint Nick, and even LEGO® Star Wars™ joins in the festivities. But will Santa's sack also contain new elements for us?
On 1 October 2025, LEGO® Star Wars™ will release a slice of life... or rather, a delightful Slice of Death. Set 75419 Death Star™ offers customers a display-and-play model depicting a cross-section of the globoid weapon of planetary destruction, showing famous scenes from the movies within its walls.

Despite being released in January 2025, Brick Round Corner 2 x 2 x 1 (5924) has been surprisingly absent in sets – but why? Today we try to answer just that, as we analyse the latest member of the macaroni family.
Today we complete our analysis of LEGO® Star Wars™ 75409 Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship. In part 1 we examined set 75409's new moulds and recoloured pieces. In this article we'll be exploring the set's build techniques and minifigures, before concluding with a look at the impressive completed model and play features.
"Hang on son, we'll move into the asteroid field. And we'll have a couple of surprises for him"
For a simple man trying to make his way in the universe, Jango doesn't travel light. LEGO® Star Wars set 75409 Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship is bountiful in every sense of the word. Today we examine the new moulds, recolours and decorated elements it has to offer.
The deals for Star Wars Day, May the Fourth, are now over. We will keep this page live as a record of what was on offer, including our review of 40765 Kamino Training Facility.
Visit our page of current LEGO® promotions and Gifts with Purchase (GwP) for May 2025 to see what happened after Star Wars Day.
Continuing our exploration of what can be done with the golden elements found in LEGO® Star Wars™75398 C-3PO™, I take a brief foray into the world of big cats and classical Greco-Roman sculpture.
All that glitters is gold! In this episode of 3x3PO Fest, our Parts Festival using LEGO® Star Wars™ set 75398 C-3PO™, it's my turn to see what I can do with a pile of gold pieces that would make Midas proud.
Not long ago a Jawa Sandcrawler rolled steadily into New Elementary Farm. Myself, Caz and Ben (Davies, not the old Kenobi) needed someone who spoke Bocce, so we got three copies of LEGO® Star Wars™ 75398 C-3PO.

In the end we lost our interest in speaking Bocce pretty soon, so we demolished the droids to make MOCs. So welcome to the 3x3PO fest, the hottest MOC-building festival in this galaxy not that far away. But before we show you what we made, I'll show you the interesting parts in the set. Be ready for many pearl gold recolours!
