For a quarter of a century, these iconic brands have joined forces to create a universe of creativity, imagination, and endless fun. From the first brick-built Millennium Falcon™ to the latest minifigure, this journey has been nothing short of epic.

A Galaxy of Gratitude


Mike Ilacqua, Head of Product at the LEGO Group, sums it up best: "The LEGO Star Wars collaboration has enjoyed a most impressive 25 years with products, video games, animated content, big builds, merchandise, and more! We want to celebrate all those years and milestones with everyone who helped us get here, but especially with the fan community as we would never be where we are today without their creativity and passion."


So, here's to 25 years of adventure, imagination, and building a galaxy far, far away. May the bricks be with you!
