Next year, Star Wars will celebrate 50 years of the franchise, and The LEGO Group is going all out with some of the most exciting models and sets ever released. The start of an entire wave of new sets and models releasing in 2027, the first LEGO Star Wars 50th anniversary models have been officially revealed.
Complete with brand-new golden box art and the newly revealed official Star Wars 50th anniversary logo, LEGO will release an impressive mix of different sets beginning January 1st. From upscaled minifigure models and dioramas to epic artwork pieces every Star Wars collector will be dying to display on their walls, there's something for everyone, and each set will come with some of the coolest exclusives we've ever seen.
Keeping that in mind, here's a full breakdown for every confirmed LEGO Star Wars 50th anniversary set (so far), ranked from least to most exciting.

The LEGO Star Wars Stormtrooper (Concept Art) Helmet is a very cool tribute to Ralph McQuarrie's earliest pieces of Star Wars concept art, with so much of his work acting as the key foundation for the Star Wars galaxy and its visual identity. As such, the new helmet model, coming in at 832 pieces, is a more unique helmet design compared to what the standard Imperial Stormtrooper helmets ended up looking like on screen, which is what makes this upcoming model so unique.
Additionally, the set will also come with a small 6x8 Rogue One poster, one of several different collectible Star Wars movie posters set to be released with various sets throughout the year. That said, the rest of the models on this list are arguably just a little bit cooler, with other sets also having exciting tributes to McQuarrie's early concept art as well.

Recent years have seen The LEGO Group experimenting with oversized minifigure models, though the latest Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker model may be its best yet. Featured in his classic Rebel pilot outfit, the brick-built minifigure is over 10 inches tall and is made up of nearly 1,000 pieces. As such, it's quite the cool display model, and would no doubt go great with the Up-Scaled Darth Vader model LEGO released earlier this year during the summer.
Additionally, the set's big 50th-anniversary draw is the Princess Leia (Concept Art) minifigure, also inspired by McQuarrie's iconic early designs, one of several collectible Concept Art minifigures that will be released in 2027. While the price-per-piece count isn't terrible, the jury's still out personally as to whether LEGO's latest Up-Scaled Minifigure is worth getting over some of these other sets.

The Rebel Y-Wing Starfighter is one of the more traditional playsets in the anniversary collection, recreating a classic Star Wars ship from the Rebel Alliance's first fight against the Empire as seen in 1977's A New Hope. Coming in at 676 pieces, this new Y-Wing may just be one of the best versions of the classic Rebel bomber yet, and I'm very excited about the Mon Mothma, Dutch Vader, and R2-BHD minifigures set to come with it.
Additionally, the exclusive 50th-anniversary offering is none other than the Luke Skywalker (Concept Art) minifigure, complete with the respirator and goggles the character was originally envisioned to have back when he was set to be named Luke Starkiller.

LEGO's new 628-piece Darth Vader 2-in-1 Wall Art set is a very exciting display piece, as collectors will be able to create one of two exciting builds. The first is a unique wall display of Darth Vader's iconic helmet using a mix of black, red, and white pieces, while the other build is the classic "I am your father" phrase with the Dark Lord of the Sith's signature red-bladed lightsaber serving as a unique backdrop.

🌈LegacyThe dark side
01
The Sith operate under a strict doctrine that limits their number to prevent infighting and self-destruction. This ancient code dictates that there can only be a master and an apprentice — no more, no less. What is this fundamental Sith principle called?
✓ Correct! The Rule of Two states “Always two there are — no more, no less. A master and an apprentice.” As Yoda himself observed, this principle ensured the Sith could operate in secret for a millennium while plotting the downfall of the Jedi Order.
✗ Your lack of faith is disturbing! The answer is the Rule of Two. While the Sith Code exists separately as their philosophical creed, the Rule of Two is the specific doctrine limiting Sith to a master-apprentice pair. It allowed them to hide in the shadows for a thousand years.
02
The most powerful Sith Lord in the saga hid in plain sight as a seemingly benevolent politician, secretly manipulating the Clone Wars from both sides. He orchestrated the fall of the Republic and the destruction of the Jedi Order. Who is this ultimate Sith Master?
✓ Correct! Darth Sidious, publicly known as Senator and later Emperor Palpatine, is the mastermind behind everything. He engineered the Clone Wars, executed Order 66, turned Anakin Skywalker to the dark side, and ruled the galaxy as Emperor for over two decades. Ian McDiarmid’s portrayal is iconic.
✗ Your lack of faith is disturbing! The answer is Darth Sidious, also known as Emperor Palpatine. Darth Vader was his apprentice, Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku) was a pawn, and Darth Plagueis was his former master. Sidious was the puppet master who destroyed the Republic from within.
03
Once the most promising Jedi Knight in the Order, this Chosen One was seduced to the dark side by Palpatine’s promise of saving his wife from death. After his devastating duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, he was rebuilt in a black life-support suit. Which Sith Lord is this?
✓ Correct! Darth Vader, born Anakin Skywalker, is the tragic heart of the Star Wars saga. His fall from heroic Jedi to Sith enforcer — and his ultimate redemption when he saves his son Luke by destroying the Emperor — is one of cinema’s greatest character arcs.
✗ Your lack of faith is disturbing! The answer is Darth Vader. Darth Maul was Sidious’s first apprentice, Darth Revan is from the Old Republic era, and Darth Bane created the Rule of Two. Only Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader after his fall on Mustafar.
04
This fearsome, red-and-black-tattooed Zabrak wielded a double-bladed lightsaber and killed Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace. Though cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi, he survived through sheer hatred and returned with mechanical legs. Who is this relentless Sith assassin?
✓ Correct! Darth Maul was Palpatine’s first known apprentice, a weapon of pure rage trained from childhood. His survival after being bisected — fueled entirely by hatred for Obi-Wan — led to his expanded story in The Clone Wars and Rebels, where he became one of Star Wars’ most compelling villains.
✗ Your lack of faith is disturbing! The answer is Darth Maul. Savage Opress was Maul’s brother, Asajj Ventress was Dooku’s dark side assassin, and the Grand Inquisitor served the Empire. Only Maul wielded the iconic double-bladed saber and killed Qui-Gon Jinn in that legendary duel.
05
This elegant former Jedi Master left the Order and became Sidious’s second apprentice, taking the Sith name Darth Tyranus. A master of Form II lightsaber combat with a curved-hilt saber, he led the Separatist movement. Played by Christopher Lee, who is this aristocratic Sith Lord?
✓ Correct! Count Dooku, Darth Tyranus, was the political face of the Separatist movement and a pawn in Sidious’s grand plan. A former student of Yoda himself, Dooku’s elegant fencing style and aristocratic demeanor made him unique among the Sith. Palpatine ordered Anakin to execute him in Revenge of the Sith.
✗ Your lack of faith is disturbing! The answer is Count Dooku, also known as Darth Tyranus. Mace Windu was a Jedi Master, Qui-Gon was Obi-Wan’s master killed by Maul, and General Grievous was a cyborg commander but not Force-sensitive. Dooku was the fallen Jedi who became Sidious’s Sith apprentice.
06
Approximately a thousand years before the events of the saga, one ancient Sith Lord recognized that the Sith kept destroying themselves through infighting. He wiped out the existing Sith Order and established the Rule of Two, ensuring the dark side would be passed from master to apprentice in secret. Who created this doctrine?
✓ Correct! Darth Bane, who appeared as a Force ghost in The Clone Wars, was the visionary who realized the Sith’s numbers were their weakness. By limiting them to two, he ensured each generation would be stronger than the last — a chain that ultimately led to Palpatine’s galaxy-conquering scheme a millennium later.
✗ Your lack of faith is disturbing! The answer is Darth Bane. Darth Revan was a legendary Sith from the Old Republic, Darth Nihilus consumed entire planets through the Force, and Darth Malgus led the Sith Empire. But it was Bane who created the Rule of Two that shaped all Sith to follow.
07
In the sequel trilogy, the grandson of Darth Vader was seduced to the dark side by Supreme Leader Snoke. He wielded an unstable, crossguard lightsaber with a cracked kyber crystal and killed his own father, Han Solo, in The Force Awakens. Who is this conflicted dark side warrior?
✓ Correct! Kylo Ren, born Ben Solo to Han Solo and Leia Organa, was torn between the light and dark throughout the sequel trilogy. His worship of his grandfather Vader’s legacy and his crackling crossguard saber made him visually iconic. Like Vader before him, he ultimately found redemption, sacrificing himself to save Rey.
✗ Your lack of faith is disturbing! The answer is Kylo Ren, born Ben Solo. Snoke was his dark side mentor (later revealed as a Palpatine puppet), General Hux was a First Order officer, and Darth Revan existed thousands of years earlier. Kylo Ren carried the Skywalker bloodline’s burden into the sequel era.
08
In one of the saga’s most chilling scenes, Palpatine tells Anakin the “Tragedy” of a Sith Lord so powerful he could use the Force to influence midi-chlorians to create life and prevent death. His apprentice killed him in his sleep. Who is this legendary Sith whose tale tempted Anakin to the dark side?
✓ Correct! “Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?” is one of the most meme-worthy and narratively crucial lines in Star Wars. Plagueis was Palpatine’s own master, and the irony is thick — Palpatine tells Anakin the story as bait, having murdered Plagueis himself. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you.
✗ Your lack of faith is disturbing! The answer is Darth Plagueis the Wise. Darth Bane created the Rule of Two centuries earlier, Darth Vitiate ruled the Old Republic Sith Empire, and Darth Sion was sustained by pain. Plagueis could cheat death itself — ironic, since he couldn’t save himself from his own apprentice, Palpatine.

Are you a Sith Lord — or just another youngling?
The set will also include a 6x8 poster of The Empire Strikes Back, an incredibly fitting 50th-anniversary exclusive. Overall, the flexibility makes this new Darth Vader set stand out, and I wouldn't be surprised if some collectors end up being two in order to display both builds simultaneously. It's also one of the more affordable adult-oriented sets in the wave, being priced at $69.99.

One of the most iconic (and longest) lightsaber battles in the entire Star Wars saga finally gets an impressive LEGO diorama set with the upcoming Mustafar Duel set. Featuring dual-printed minifigures of Obi-Wan Kenobi and a Sith yellow-eyed Anakin Skywalker, the model depicts their culminating Revenge of the Sith battle over Mustafar's lava flows with the duo standing on rotating platforms. There's also a great tile on the front of the build with Obi-Wan's classic line: "You were the Chosen One!"
The set also comes with an exclusive Han Solo (Concept Art) minifigure depicting the iconic smuggler as the lightsaber-wielding space pirate he was originally envisioned as. For just $39.99, Mustafar Duel is easily one of the most exciting and appealing sets in this upcoming wave.

If the Mustafar Duel is one of the prequel trilogy's defining moments, Duel on Bespin recreates the original trilogy's. The 718-piece set features the bridge where Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker fought in their momentous Empire Strikes Back duel that ended with Vader cutting off Luke's hand before revealing himself as the young Jedi's father. Naturally, the build features Darth Vader's most iconic line on a quote plaque tile at the front of the set.
LEGO's previous Bespin Duel set was meant for Star Wars Celebration 2020, though the global pandemic canceled the event, resulting in the limited stock pivoting and becoming an exclusive Target release. As such, it's very exciting to see a new version seven years later that should be much more accessible for collectors. Additionally, the included 50th-anniversary minifigure is arguably the biggest draw, considering it's based on McQuarrie's first designs and concept art for Darth Vader himself.

Currently, the most exciting LEGO Star Wars 50th anniversary set is also its biggest with the upcoming New Hope Movie Poster, a brand-new LEGO Artwork set recreating the original theatrical poster used to promote the 1977 film. Coming in at 3,209 pieces, the $300 set is 23 inches tall by 16 inches wide, using a variety of layered bricks to give the new LEGO Artwork model a 3D appearance. The set will also include a 6x8 collectible poster build for A New Hope.
All things considered, the scale, piece count, and nostalgic appeal of the New Hope Movie Poster models easily make it an incredible centerpiece for Star Wars' 50th anniversary. Beyond all the others, this one has definitely got me the most hyped as a longtime LEGO Star Wars fan.
