Lego Star Wars or Star Wars in our translation is one of the oldest lines of constructors, which has been released since 1999. It is interesting that the contract for the production of designers was signed until 2022, and it is not yet known about its extension. But it is unlikely that the Disney company will decide to manufacture toys independently in the future, so it will probably be extended for more than ten years. You need to get maximum mech from Chewbacca.
So, in 1999, the first constructors in this mega-popular line were released. The start was timed to the part controversial among fans — the First Episode. But no matter how much fans of the movie universe argue, getting their hands on lego men with Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and play out the battle of Yavin in toy form is too tempting an offer.
Further - more. While the second trilogy (until recently - Novaya) was gaining momentum and the Clone Wars, the first Death Star, dozens of memorable battles and spaceships were waiting for us - the golden times began for Lego. They simultaneously released toys for the first episode, increasingly immersing themselves in the Old Trilogy - from the fourth to the sixth episode.
The largest Lego constructors
Today, out of the 10 largest Lego sets of all time, 3 places are occupied by constructors Lego old pile. The coolest of them:
-
Tantive IV is an Empire transporter consisting of 1 parts
-
Imperial Shuttle is a combat shuttle made of 4768 parts
-
Death Star from 4016 parts
-
and the coolest Millennium Falcon, reissued in 2017 — with 7 parts
Of course, the number of parts is not the main thing in the constructor. However, the beloved Millennium Falcon from the movies is capable of enthralling a family of three for several weeks if they collect it on weekends.
Is there a future in the Lego Star Wars series?
Most likely, the Star Wars franchise will continue its existence - there is too much money in it. The third film trilogy has recently ended, and the Clone Wars cartoon series is approaching its finale. But The Mandalorian has already been launched, and in 2021 we will have two more series in the universe. Plus, a new cartoon series will be launched in 2022. That is, it is safe to say that the universe is expanding and developing, new locations, characters, vehicles, and entire planets are being added to it.
And Lego is a universal constructor from which you can assemble anything. So, it is possible to say with full confidence that in 2023 we will have a new contract between Disney and Lego and hundreds of new constructors.
