LEGO reveals excellent new Star Wars sets to mark 50th anniversary

LEGO has announced that seven new Star Wars building sets will be released next year to celebrate the space saga's 50th anniversary.

The new sets are guaranteed to kick the January blues for any Star Wars fans out there as they'll be available from New Year's Day 2027.

The new collection features collectibles including a 3,209-piece LEGO Star Wars: A New Hope Movie Poster inspired by the original theatrical poster for the 1977 film, an Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker wearing his X-wing pilot uniform, and a Darth Vader 2-In-1 Wall Art set, alongside iconic vehicles, helmets and scenes from across the galaxy far, far away.

The anniversary collection also features exclusive LEGO mini-figures inspired by original Star Wars concept art and collectible movie poster tiles.

The bad news? None of them are currently available to pre-order, but are expected to go on sale from 1 January next year. The LEGO Star Wars: A New Hope Movie Poster will instead be available from 4 January, following LEGO Insiders early access.

The A New Hope movie poster is the most expensive set in the new collection, priced at £269.99, and comes with a collectable alternative poster tile. More sets include a Darth Vader 2 in 1 Wall Art and a Stormtrooper Helmet, available for £59.99 and £69.99, respectively.

The Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker mini-figure, which also includes an exclusive Princess Leia (Concept Art) LEGO mini-figure for fans to collect, has an RRP of £89.99.

The 676-piece Rebel Y-Wing Starfighter features brick-built details and mini-figures of fan-favourite characters like Mon Mothma, Dutch Vander and his astromech droid R2-BHD, as well as an exclusive Luke Skywalker (Concept Art) LEGO mini-figure.

Next, the 372-piece LEGO Star Wars Mustafar Duel showcases the pivotal confrontation between Anakin Skywalker and his master and friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The set includes mini-figures of both characters, as well as a brick-built lava landscape and hover pods so that fans will be able to recreate the iconic battle. The set is accompanied by an exclusive Han Solo (Concept Art) LEGO mini-figure.

And speaking of indelible moments in the franchise, the new collection also features a brick-built model of the jaw-dropping Darth Vader revelation to Luke on the bridge in Cloud City.

The LEGO Star Wars Duel On Bespin consists of 718 pieces and a printed "No, I am your father!" plaque as well as an exclusive Darth Vader (Concept Art) LEGO mini-figure.

With a release date of 1 January next year, the new collection won't sort your Christmas shopping, whether for yourself or others, but here are some Star Wars sets that might do the trick.

The below LEGO Darth Vader up-scaled minifigure will make the wait for the new Luke Skywalker minifigure a little bit shorter, while the LEGO Kylo Ren helmet is the perfect piece as fans await the upcoming Stormtrooper helmet set.
