Lego is a classic construction toy for children of all ages. It has been around for many years, but no matter how many amazing gadgets hit the stores, in my experience Legos never seem to go out of fashion. As each new generation discovers the best Lego sets<\/a> anew, a whole new world of fun comes into being. Films and games<\/a> have inspired many Lego variations, but Lego Star Wars sets have taken Lego to a whole new level of popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found Lego Star Wars sets have become\u00a0the ultimate must-have toy for creative kids. They combine all the fun of the Star Wars franchise with the solid educational benefits I have come to expect from all Lego block construction sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the best Lego Star Wars sets are aimed at older kids aged 9 years and above, including one of the best Lego Technic sets<\/a> of the past 20 years – the Darth Vader 8010, but smaller sets are perfect for younger children. In fact, I believe this is a great opportunity for a parent-child bonding session. Instead of turning on a DVD or handing over the iPad, you and your child can spend a few hours carefully building a Death Star or Carbon Freezing Chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handling small Lego bricks helps to boost manual dexterity and motor skills, but since many of the Lego Star Wars sets are extremely fiddly, your child will need a good dose of concentration. I think Lego Star Wars sets are a brilliantly constructive way to harness the excitement of the films, so here is my pick of fourteen of the best Star Wars Legos Sets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nWhile many Lego Star Wars sets feature iconic vehicles from the franchise, the Imperial Probe Droid set is unique in that it is one of the few sets to feature a non-humanoid character, making it a great choice for fans who want something different for their collection.\nThe Resistance Transport Pod set is a great choice for collectors who want to get their hands on figurines of some of the newer characters from the franchise, such as Vice Admiral Holdo and BB-8’s astromech droid friend D-O.\nThe Ewok Village set offers a more whimsical option for fans who want something with a bit more charm, featuring a model of the iconic Ewok tree village from Return of the Jedi and several adorable Ewok figurines.\nThe Imperial Shuttle set includes several unique figurines, including General Veers and two Knights of Ren, making it an exciting choice for collectors who want to expand their collection of characters.\nMany of the Lego Star Wars sets are designed with a specific age range in mind, which can help ensure that younger fans are able to build and enjoy the sets without getting too frustrated by complex builds or difficult-to-assemble pieces.\nThe Star Wars-themed Lego Advent calendars offer a unique way for fans to count down to Christmas while building a collection of festive miniature sets and adorable figurines based on their favorite characters from the franchise.\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Best Lego Star Wars Sets Your Kids Will Love<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

1. Lego Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter 75249<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
\n
\"Lego<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

With the red stripes around the cockpit, the Resistance Y-Wing Starfighter 75249 has a sleeker look than its predecessor, the BTL-B Y-wing starfighter introduced during the clone wars. Although it may remind players of previous Star Wars Lego sets, the new Lego Y-Wing Starfighter may have similarities to earlier models but with some significant new updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using many curved tiles results in the curved slopes of the cockpit and the appealing look of the rest of the body.  The cockpit opens, displaying the inside with printed controls and an upholstered seat for Zorii Bliss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no shortage of ammunition. You can load spring-loaded missiles below the engine. Three bombs loaded from above are dropped by turning the gear behind the fuselage. Twin ion canons behind the cockpit can rotate and elevate, targeting the opposition. The teal and white Astromech Droid, with its metallic highlights, fit nicely in the droid sockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 578 pieces Y-Wing Starfighter set is accompanied by five mini-figures Poe Dameron, the Astromech Droid, Zorii Bliss with a gold helmet, D-O, and a First Order Snowtrooper. Kids 8 years and older may enjoy building the 2 x 16 x 7 inches wishbone starfighter.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Lego Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker Pasaana Speeder Chase 75250<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
\n
\"Lego<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Star Wars Lego Set, Pasaana Speeder Chase 75250<\/a> building kit, consists of three pieces: the Treadspeeder for space racing, the Transporter toy jet, and the canopy tent. These are new vehicles introduced in the Star Wars story Rise of the Skywalker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may find the canopy tent in some of the best Star Wars Lego sets, but not the two vehicles. Beneath the colorful red and blue roof of the canopy tent, a toolbox with equipment is stored, which can be loaded onto the transport speeder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stickers on the front of the red transport speeder give it a wear-and-tear look reflecting its age. One side features a protective railing and stud shooters, while the other side of the transport speeder has more mechanical features. Below are transparent elements that give it a hovering impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The First Order Jet Trooper drives the rubber-tracked Treadspeeder bike. It has space for another First Order Troopers behind the driver, and they are ready to engage in battle with Rey, who is driving the transport speeder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 373 pieces set is ideal for kids 8 years old and up who are prepared to engage in some Starwalker fun.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Lego Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker Resistance A-Wing Starfighter 75248<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
\n
\"Lego<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Resistance A-Wing Starfighter 75248<\/a> is one of the best Star Wars Lego sets; where it may seem like the previous models but contains surprises in the details. If you were a fan of the RZ-1 A-Wing Interceptor in Return of the Jedi, then you may be delighted with the new Lego A-Wing Starfighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collectible building kit produces a dark green and white A-wing Starfighter with a sleeker look than its predecessors. Placed beneath the fuselage are two spring-loaded shooters. The two buttons on the top to the sides of the cockpit activate the shooters. \u00a0Non-firing rotating canons add detail to the impressive fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 269 pieces in the set, the Star Wars Lego set is challenging enough for 7-years old without being too complicated. After they have completed the Lego, the real role-playing fun begins. The cockpit opens to insert a mini-figure Snap Wexley, one of the two figurines included in the purchase. The other doll is Lieutenant Connix.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Lego Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker Kylo Ren\u2019s Shuttle 75256<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
\n
\"Lego<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Rise of the Skywalker Star Wars story won\u2019t be the same without Kylo Ren\u2019s Shuttle 75256<\/a>. It is one of the best Star Wars Lego sets based on the Rise of Skywalker movie. Compared to previous Lego sets, 75256 has lots of improvements that boys and girls aged ten years and older may enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1005 pieces Star Wars Lego set also comes with six mini-figures. The figurine representing Supreme Leader Kylo Ren wears an impressive cloak made from stiff fabric, a striking helmet with red streaks, and his cross-guard lightsaber.  Removing the helmet exposes his angry face with the scar. He is accompanied by two ominous Knights of Ren, General Pryde, a Sith Trooper, and a First Order Stormtrooper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With wings that fold and extend and a cockpit that can seat three mini figurines and two firing shooters, the Shuttle is ready for action. A boarding ramp, two spring-loaded shooters, two cylindrical thrusters, and a bulbar are some of the details that complete the Upsilon-class Shuttle.<\/p>\n\n\n

5. Lego Star Wars Death Star Final Duel Building Kit<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
\n
\"Lego<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Lego Star Wars Death Star final duel building kit<\/a> is your child\u2019s opportunity to recreate the moment when Luke Skywalker and his father, Darth Vader, fight their final momentous battle. The final model features amazing detail, including the reactor shaft and Return of the Jedi throne room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three of the five Minifigures are unique to the set. The Royal guards are unchanged, but Darth Vader\u2019s figure is completely updated. Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader\u2019s figurine faces change from grey to color in this set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The throne room has all the necessary pieces for recreating the famous duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, including the throne and three windows using the TIE fighter mold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke Skywalker\u2019s fate is in your hands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nWhile some sets, such as the X-Wing Fighter and TIE Advanced Prototype, are designed to be played with more actively thanks to their movable features, other sets like the Death Star Final Duel are better suited for display purposes due to their highly detailed designs.\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

6. Lego Star Wars Shadow Troopers Kit<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
\n

9. Lego Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker Millennium Falcon 75257 Starship<\/a><\/h3>\n\n
\n
\"Lego<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Millennium Falcon 75257 Starship<\/a> is an update of the iconic classic, and one of the best Star Wars sets to build. The 4×6 wedge plates that were introduced in 2019 give the starship an overall better look, and the larger panels cover the roof openings previous models had. \u00a0Seven LEGO Star Wars characters accompany the Millennium Falcon. With Finn, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, Boolio, C-3PO, BB-8, and D-O, the starship is ready for space adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
