However, if you prefer its sleek replacement, there’s The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter (412 pieces, $59.99/£59.99). Although we don’t fancy the chances of the three included Battle Droids.īack to The Mandalorian, and we get a more affordable take on the lead’s ship: The Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport (1023 pieces, $139.99/£119.99).

Although you can pretend it’s the original trilogy version by hiding the Mandalorian minifig down the back of the sofa. Need more swoopy greatness? Boba Fett’s Starship (593 pieces, $49.99/£44.99) nets you the famous bounty hunter’s craft in its Disney+ Madalorian incarnation. Prefer your Lego on the ground?

Millennium Falcon (1353 pieces, $169.99/£149.99) is based on The Rise of Skywalker’s take, but looks fab. There’s also a cheaper take on Han Solo’s iconic ship. Along with Empire types, you get Luke Skywalker – and a speeder bike the minifigs can squabble over. Fortunately, the smaller scale AT-AT (1267 pieces, $169.99/£149.99) is also a piece of stompy magnificence. But it’ll trample your bank account into oblivion.

Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Whether you’re in the market for a huge family project (you should see the sizes of some of these!) or a little Star Wars Day treat, we tried to find a range of Star Wars sets to recommend here - from space-dust small to galaxy-gigantic. And once they have those in their hand, they can use these as props and settings for open-ended play with their mini-figures. The thing is that kids are thinking about function, construction, and design as they build. Not that we know whether any of these ships really function in space, mind you. None of that takes away from the fact that by building LEGO versions of the various complicated aircraft, spacecraft, vehicles and occasional buildings modeled after the movies and TV shows, our kids get a pretty good STEM introduction. (If you do remember, and those aspects bother you, they’re easy enough to remove from a kit.) We’ve somehow been hypnotized to forget the “Wars” in the title. Even those of us who are against violence and wouldn’t dream of buying a toy gun for our kids will gladly scoop up a warship complete with an arsenal (some of them shooting real, tiny LEGO pellets), as long as it’s labeled Star Wars. When you think about it, Lucasfilm played a trick on all parents.
