LEGO Star Wars
As kids and even now, one of our favourite LEGO sets is the Star Wars LEGO sets which are one of LEGO’s biggest hits. LEGO Star Wars grows popular every year, even if there hasn’t been a new Star Wars movie at the cinemas.
In a galaxy far, far away, the LEGO Star Wars collaboration took place 23 years ago in 1999 when LEGO Star Wars was first introduced at the International Toy Fair in New York. Can you believe it? Time flies when you are building LEGO!
#SeriouslyFunFacts About Star Wars LEGO
The first-ever Star Wars minifigure was Jar Jar Binks in 1999.
Darth Vader's minifigure helmet did not change from when it was created in 1999 until 2015!
In 2000, two more advanced sets were released including LEGO 7181 Star Wars TIE Interceptor and Lego Star Wars 7191, which launched the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series. The LEGO Ultimate Collector Series are detailed, unique, and challenging sets, that make a perfect gift for any LEGO or Star Wars fan.
In 2007, the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon was launched, 10 years after its impressive predecessor. It succeeded the previous model by 2344 elements, reaching a total of 7541 pieces!
Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, Creative Director of LEGO Star Wars, said: “LEGO play and Star Wars is a dream collaboration for us, and we feel privileged to have one of the strongest fan communities out there who continue to inspire and challenge us to push the boundaries”.
