The best Star Wars Lego sets to celebrate May the 4th in 2026

Star Wars Lego ships for display

Kicking off with the latest Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) set, The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter ($249.99/£229.99 • 1809 pieces) is based on the ship piloted by The Mandalorian when his earlier ride ends up looking like a pre-construction Lego set. It’s sleek, with a dart-like form built for swooshing, and pointy bits that suggest it’d lodge in a wall if you let go. Although probably don’t do that.

From the original trilogy, Millennium Falcon ($849.99/£734.99 • 7541 pieces) is a whopping 83cm-long minifig-scale lego model, packed with detail. AT-ST Walker ($199.99/£179.99 • 1513 pieces) lets you get your stomp on, with an outsized chicken walker you imagine could tackle an entire Rebel minifig army on its own. And then there’s the hunk of brown that’s Jabba’s Sail Barge ($499.99/£429.99 • 3943 pieces). Along with the fat slug himself and a gaggle of minifigs, you get loads of scenes within the ship. And it makes a change from all that grey.

Want yet more ships to get your swoosh on? TIE Interceptor ($229.99/£199.99 • 1931 pieces) is a striking slice of spaceship viciousness, ready to blast your UCS Falcon. Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser ($649.99/£559.99 • 5374 pieces) adds a dash of colour with its fancy red stripe, even though you’ll need the power of The Force to arc that monster through the air. And then Boba Fett’s dad gets to show off his ship from the time before his ungrateful offspring rudely redecorated, in the impressively detailed Jango Fett’s Firespray-Class Starship ($299.99/£259.99 • 2970 pieces).

Microscale ships for display

Is your wallet having palpitations that have nothing to do with nearby Sith doing a hand-squeeze trick? Yet do you still pine for display models that evoke the best Star Wars moments? Then you’re in luck.

Millennium Falcon ($84.99/£74.99 • 921 pieces) might not have minifigs – nor room inside for any. But it’s a surprisingly intricate, detailed build, which won’t eat up half your home. Home One Starcruiser ($69.99/£59.99 • 559 pieces) recreates Admiral Ackbar’s famous frigate, complete with tiny Nebulon-B Medical Frigate. And if you’d prefer a sleek slice of evil, try the spear-like Executor Super Star Destroyer ($69.99/£59.99 • 630 pieces). Although its ominous nature is admittedly weakened by two dinky and adorable Star Destroyers.

Lego Star Wars minifig masterpieces

Death Star ($999.99/£899.99 • 9023 pieces) – that’s no moon! And also, not a full Death Star. Instead, you get a vertical ‘slice’ of Empire shooty planetoid, with a bunch of scenes within for the 38(!) included minifigs. Not done being evil? The triangle of grey that’s Imperial Star Destroyer ($159.99/£149.99 • 1555 pieces) also features a bunch of interior scenes – and a price tag that won’t slice your bank account to pieces with a lightsaber. Unlike the old UCS version. Less keen on the Dark Side? New Republic X-Wing Starfighter ($69.99/£59.99 • 558 pieces) is the best minifig-scale X-wing yet, and it also comes with a minifig Sigourney Weaver. (Alien MOC-makers, rejoice!)

Star Wars projects sometimes play fast and loose with continuity, but not usually to the degree found in The Dark Falcon ($179.99/£159.99 • 1579 pieces). This set reimagines the famous starship as a vessel for evil. Specifically, Darth Jar Jar. No, we’re not joking. 

Only marginally more bizarre, Gingerbread AT-AT Walker ($59.99/£54.99 • 697 pieces) strikes fear into the heart of your festive decorations. “I am your father… Christmas,” growls gingerbread Vader, before settling down by the AT-AT’s fireplace with a cookie. Probably.

Traumatised by all the weird? Get back to (mostly) grey with The Razor Crest ($149.99/£139.99 • 930 pieces), which either suggests that the star of The Mandalorian and Grogu manages to find a replacement ship in the upcoming film, or got busy with a massive tube of glue after the original went a bit explode-y.

Star Wars Lego brick-built figures

R2-D2, it is you – it is you! Well, in brick form. R2-D2 ($99.99/£89.99 • 1050 pieces) is an affordable yet detailed take on everyone’s favourite Star Wars droid (sorry, C-3PO). You also get a standard R2-D2 minifig – which presumably has a massive inferiority complex. Want the gobby golden wonder to stand alongside? You’re in luck: C-3PO ($139.99/£124.99 • 1138 pieces) exists. And, yes, very clever, lego, with the reference.

Not wedded to the original trilogy? BB-8 Astromech Droid ($89.99/£79.99 • 569 pieces) provides a trundling chum for R2-D2. And Grogu (Mandalorian Apprentice) ($129.99/£119.99 • 1200 pieces) depicts everyone’s favourite baby Yoda/Disney merchandise sensation in brick-built form, complete with beskar armour, a blue cookie and two big eyes so he looks extra adorable and won’t get told off for using The Force and getting a Stormtrooper stuck in the chimney.

Star Wars Lego busts and helmets

Should the notion of building entire humanoid figures not click with you, there’s always Darth Vader Bust ($49.99/£44.99 • 349 pieces). His expertly sculpted head can turn left and right, and his lack of arms means he can’t do a Force Choke if you happen to put his mouth grille on upside down.

Lego also has a range of Star Wars helmets. There’s AT-AT Driver Helmet ($69.99/£69.99 • 730 pieces), Jango Fett Helmet ($69.99/£69.99 • 616 pieces), or the hat of an Emo Vader wannabe, Kylo Ren Helmet ($69.99/£59.99 • 529 pieces). Whichever one you go for, just try to remove from your mind these being heads on pikes from a much darker incarnation of Star Wars.

Pocket money perfection

Lack deep pockets – or deep shelves? Here are the best Star Wars Lego sets for under thirty bucks.

Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter ($29.99/£29.99 • 282 pieces) features a young Obi-Wan with a swooshy ship, the long-necked Tan We, and R4-P17, who looks like the combination of R2-D2, a tin of red paint, and a terrible mishap. The Mandalorian & Grogu’s Speeder Bike ($9.99/£8.99 • 58 pieces) won’t win any design awards, but provides a cheap way to add tin head and the little green dude to your minifig pile.

Meanwhile, if you want a proper scrap, but for not much outlay, grab Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack ($29.99/£24.99 • 215 pieces). It includes a bunch of droids and troopers who can go PEW PEW PEW at each other until the tri-droid gets bored and stomps them all into mulch.

Lego’s microfighters have long taken cute in the direction of budget-friendly Star Wars vehicles in miniaturised form with exaggerated features. Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter ($12.99/£11.99 • 99 pieces) is the latest, and is suitably swooshy, despite its low part count.

Then there’s Lego’s latest Star Wars ‘totally not a Funko Pop’, with Luke Skywalker (Rebel Pilot) ($12.99/£10.99 • 138 pieces) managing to make Luke even blockier than you’d imagine for a Lego model.

Finally, Darth Maul Mech ($17.99/£12.99 • 143 pieces) is, we’re sure, an entirely accurate moment from the movies. (I must have got distracted by popcorn and missed it.) All I can say is Darth Maul might have had better luck against Obi-Wan Kenobi had he not presumably carelessly lost this mech suit down the back of the sofa. Tsk.
