Arguably, the battle between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader remains one of the most iconic moments in Return of the Jedi. The new Lego set recreates the Death Star, consisting of 807 pieces that fans can assemble. The set also specifically includes minifigures of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, each wielding their lightsabers, and Emperor Palpatine. Without any further ado, we’ve compiled a list of the new sets so you won’t miss out on them. Have a look!

Among the many beloved scenes from the film, fans hold dear the exhilarating chase through Endor’s forest between Luke and Leia and an Imperial Scout Trooper on speeder bikes. The 608-piece Lego set captures the thrill of this high-speed pursuit with the speeders appearing to hover in the air. The set includes minifigures of Luke, Leia, and a Scout Trooper, and it features two trees and a base that can be adorned with plants to enhance the display. The vehicles can be arranged in different positions to create dynamic scenes. To commemorate the movie’s 40th anniversary, the set includes a special plaque and a quote from the scene, making it a valuable addition to any fan’s collection.

Lego’s Star Wars Day celebration doesn’t stop at the sets mentioned above, as there are several other exciting models to explore. One notable addition is the Executor Super Star Destroyer, a highly-detailed replica of Darth Vader’s flagship, which comes with two Star Destroyers flying alongside it. All three ships are mounted on a display stand that includes a nameplate and a Star Wars: Return of the Jedi 40th anniversary plaque. Despite being made up of only 630 pieces, the set measures over 17 inches long, making it a striking display item for any desk or shelf. Currently, the set is out of stock due to its immense popularity, but interested buyers can sign up for restock notifications.

Lego plans to release an updated edition of the iconic X-Wing Starfighter, the beloved aircraft revered by fans from the Star Wars trilogy and Star Wars: The Mandalorian.

The wings now have a dial on top that enables the pilot to switch from flight mode to attack mode, while the cockpit has been redesigned to open and house the R2-D2 LEGO droid figure. The set also comes with a Minifigure of Luke Skywalker and is completed with his signature lightsaber. The X-Wing Starfighter will be available for purchase to all customers starting May 4, but Lego VIP members can order it right away.
