Yup…

I suppose the plus side with the Smart Brick sets consisting solely of predictable OT remakes is that it frees up next year for more interesting sets to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Star Wars. Like some of you have already theorised in the wishlist thread, maybe Lego release sets across the films / shows / games etc. as a celebration of the theme as a whole. I’d love it if they debuted a new packaging art style for it too in black and gold or something.

Also apparently the Smart Play Landspeeder will have a new windshield piece. Hooray I guess.

Exactly. ANH constantly gets set representation anyway, and it’d be way more interesting to celebrate 50 years of SW as a franchise, not just ANH

My personal wish is a bunch of sets across the entire saga with a celebratory gimmick. I know some people don’t care for them, but I would love golden minifigs for instance ^^ Special minifigs like last year make more sense for a LSW anniversary specifically.

I think we need $100+ sets of Palpatines arrest and duel on Mustafar.

Oh man, how could I not mention this right away. There's just so much stuff missing in action. Makes the pricing even more flexible for the Duel line-up then. But how a modern makeover of Palpatine's Arrest wasn't released this year for the occasion is beyond me. Would have been very easy to clear this single set slot.

But don’t worry. The Tie Avenger will hopefully make an appearance. (Day #233)

This actually makes me hopeful for the big summer wave, which is still providing the most exciting stuff all year. Like the majority of new minifigs and sets you don't see every day typically come in August.

Yes, I like to think this way as well. Give us the predictable stuff now, coming incorporated with the latest Frankenstein experiments, give us the more overdue yet still classy stuff next year when it matters most.

Everything is forgiven now. As there is no atonement for perfection.

Yes, to commemorate 50 years of Star Wars it should be about celebrating the whole Saga, not just the thing that started it all. While the mere impact and importance of A New Hope can never be underestimated, it shouldn't be put front and center.

Yep, there has to be what Lego likes to call a "bonus minifgure" for the occasion. And I agree these should differ from your previous anniversary ones. So yeah, golden minifigs immediately come to mind. After Lego Harry Potter, Ninjago and Batman got the golden treatment, it might be a good bet for Star Wars as well. Though I would personally prefer something different. Like a silver/platinum shimmer to them representing Beskar or something. 

[icm]

How about Force Ghost minifigs? Personally, I think golden minifigs are a waste of a minifig slot. They have little or no relevance to play scenarios and they look tacky. But Force Ghost minifigs would have play and story relevance, they would look cool on display, and they would sort of echo the collectible Patronus animals for the Harry Potter 25th anniversary. It's about time for Lego to solve whatever material and design problems prevent them from making full minifigs out of transparent MABS. Force Ghost Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin are long overdue.

Edit - from new media, you could add Force Ghost Luke and Force Ghost Qui-Gon. That would make five Force Ghost minifigs, which is plenty for a collectible anniversary line.

I would've preferred an updated Palpatine's arrest over a CTT.

I think that's a great idea, hopefully it's something like that. Honestly even something similar to the 25th anniversary figs would be good, in my opinion the real issue there was just the execution being a little stupid since some of those characters could have shown up in regular sets and I don't think anyone was too interested in Kid Leia. Gold minifigures would just seem like such a waste of a new design when that effort could go into a character we don't have yet.

I'm also concerned for the 2HY, though moreso for the contents of the system sets rather than whether or not we'll have many. 2HY always has a larger proportion of system sets than 1HY, so we should be safe there...

it's just that at least 2 of the 2HY set slots are definitely going to be $40+ sets that are somehow in lego's mind clone battle packs.

I've been saying this since the anniversary was first brought up- Mcquarrie concept art minifigures. Vader with a new helmet and blue mcquarrie-style lightsaber. Luke with that breathing mask/yellow saber/armor. The Mcquarrie stormtrooper with new helmet, saber, and shield. Mcquarrie Chewbacca (which lego wouldn't even need a new mold for if they put a Zeb in the TMAG sets), Mcquarrie C-3PO, there are so many options.

 

I personally would like some A New Hope sets for the A New Hope 50th anniversary. I get that the smart bricks kind of hinder some  of the options, but as I put in the wishlist thread awhile back I think there's plenty they could do. If I see the 50th anniversary of the whole reason we have a franchise to begin with and it's occupied by $45 clone battle packs, I'm gonna lose my mind.

Yeah I think they should focus on ANH for it's 50th anniversary. We also have the 50th anniversary of ESB in 2030, and ROTJ in 2033, and they'll probably do sets specifically for them. A hodgepodge of sets from Star Wars is literally what we already get in year, slapping on an anniversary logo isn't going to mean anything.

[Lordhelmet]

For the 50th I am hoping they emphasize A New Hope (I wouldn’t mind a nod or two to the concept art either).  It’s really the 50th for A New Hope though so hoping it stays focused.

[CloneCommando99]

I think for the 50th Anniversary they should take the Animal Farm approach.  All movies/ shows are equal, but some movies/ shows are more equal than others. 3-4 sets for ANH whilst the other 5 movies get 2 (play-set and 18+ set) each. And then shows like TBB, TCW, Andor, Rogue One, The Mandalorian and even Legends get one of either each.

I actually made a decent idea for this a couple of months ago in the wishlist thread. Also including: Mcquarrie anniversary figs, a Lego Ideas competition like the D&D one (held in 2026) and a Videogame CMF. Though the X-Wing and MF ideas might now be scuppered.

And for Day #234…

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want Tie Avenger for my own
More than Lego could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is Tie Avenger, yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need (And I)
Don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace (Ah)
Santa Claus will make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

I just want Tie Avenger for my own (Ooh)
More than Lego could ever know (Ooh)
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is Tie Avenger 
Tie Avenger, Lego

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow (And I)
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the patio
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick (Ah)
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want it here tonight (Ooh)
Building on to it so tight (Ooh)
What more can I do?
Oh, Lego, all I want for Christmas is Tie Avenger
Tie Avenger, Lego

Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (So brightly, Lego)
And the sound of Andor fans’ laughter fills the air (Oh, oh)
And everyone is singing (Oh yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing (Oh)
Santa, won't you bring me the set I really need? (Yeah, oh)
Won't you please bring my Tie Avenger to me? (Oh)

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for (Ah)
I just wanna see my Lego set
Displayed right outside my door

Oh, I just want it for my own (Ooh)
More than Lego could ever know (Ooh)
Make my wish come true
Oh, Lego, all I want for Christmas is Tie Avenger

Tie Avenger, Lego
All I want for Christmas is Tie Avenger, Lego (Tie Avenger)
All I want for Christmas is Tie Avenger, Lego (Ah, oh, ah, oh)
All I want for Christmas is Tie Avenger, Lego (Tie Avenger)
All I want for Christmas is Tie Avenger, Lego (All I want, all I really want is, oh woah)
All I want for Christmas is Tie Avenger, Lego (All I want, all I really want is)

Yeah, it was definitely overkill to make both flagships based on TCW era. Would have been better to space things out a bit.

Well, it's kinda both, to be honest. Obviously, the birth of A New Hope also created the Star Wars franchise as we now it. So it's totally valid to want something from every era, rather than to artificially limit yourself to just one movie. Though I understand the desire to make the anniversary only based on Episode IV. Who knows, maybe 2027 will be more like 2017 was. You get a new big UCS set like the Tantive. Additionally, maybe a couple of more affordable sets for the mass market without any specials and that's it. It's somewhat difficult to tell what to expect since Lego didn't do those anniversary waves until 2019.

Yes. Sounds too good to be true. Especially taking into account everything Disney Star Wars on top of the core Skywalker Saga. But yes. Imagine a whole year worth of anniversary sets for all ages, every price point covered, everyone has something to be happy about. A pipe dream to be sure, but a welcome one. 

I know it's impossible based on today's leak culture alone, but the idea of shadow dropping sets is very appealing to me.

Elite ball knowledge

Though I think in this case it could simply be represented by an ANH anniversary wave in, say, may 2027, with january and august being more standard variance waves for the saga as a whole.

There are two points missing here:

1. While not a full wave, all of these DID get above-average coverage (with the exception of AOTC, but there was some evidence via leakers that the AT-TE was planned on being an AOTC set and swapped late to give us P2 Cody).

2. The 50th of the whole reason we have a franchise is a marginally bigger event than, say, ten years of TFA, no?

Well yeah, let's say Lego almost always acknowledged the respective property's anniversary at hand. Obviously not to the the extent of a full wave like some people are hoping for in here. In that sense, it would factually be the first time for the theme. 

You can't argue against that fact, either. Also, nearly everything is bigger than the ST ().

 

It will probably be like 2017. No more, no less. And if an entire anniversary wave is indeed happening, hopefully there is something for everyone to look forward to. Which I doubt would be the case by basing it on ANH only. Even further established by the fact we are getting some fair share of that episode's representation next year.

It's most definitely incorrect. They acknowledged ESB and ROTJ 40th with multiple sets. 2017 didn't even acknowledge the 40th anniversary if I remember correctly, so it will likely be more than that.

I think you are missing the point of what was posted. This is about entire anniversary waves based on single episodes. Which, in fact, never happened. There has been merely some acknowledgement here and there. Whereas a full line-up, complete with special figs, only happened for the last two Lego Star Wars anniversaries. But like I said, given that Lego is bigger on anniversaries than ever, maybe time's are changing. 50 years is generally considered much more of an milestone than every single decade is, so we shall see.

I'm only really asking for a few sets like the other anniversaries, Maybe a Sandcrawler, Tantive, Obi Wan vs Vader. I wouldn't expect them to do special figures but we'll see. The LSW 20-25th anniversaries were already celebrations of SW as whole. They'll probably celebrate the 30th in 2029, doing essentially the same thing in 2027-2029 is overkill. I suppose the closest thing we can look back to is 2007 which had chrome c3po in sets, and we got a few ANH sets and of course the UCS Falcon.

Of course, this is totally in the realm of possibilities. 2017 had the UCS Falcon for the 40th anniversary of Star Wars as well. It wasn't themed after ANH, but there is barely any difference anyways. Again, there absolutely can be a (UCS) Tantive in 2027. The thing is, if all you want is only a couple of ANH sets anyways, what's stopping us from getting exactly this but for every era? I get that we already have that for the other anniversaries and thus, can be considered a little generic, but if you guys don't lose out on anything, how bad would it be?

The way i interpreted @BrickBob Studpants posting was him replying to people who are hoping for a full ANH style of wave.  And he was just clarifying that no episode ever received the same treatment than both the 2019 and 2024 LSW anniversaries, which is correct. 

Edited December 14, 2025 by BrickPrick

[Mandalorianknight]

Re @Darth_Bane13 and @BrickPrick's conversation, while it is true we don't have precedent for special figures for ANH's 50th (though I'd again point out, 50 is a pretty big anniversary and ANH is what started it all, I wouldn't rule it out), the "we haven't had a full wave specifically for a film anniversary" is really skating by on that full wave part. ROTJ for example had a wave in May 2023 (as opposed to the other ROTJ sets elsewhere in the year) with 4 ROTJ anniversary sets, some special anniversary bricks with them, and even multiple ROTJ GWPs. It just also happened to have a couple of Mando sets because it was the closest release wave to the end of that third season.

Sure, maybe a Jedi 3 set or something releases on the same day, I don't think anyone here saying they want a wave of ANH sets would be severely disappointed if there was a wave containing a number of ANH sets and then also one or two other sets.

You can argue the specifics of "oh, it's technically not a full wave", but come on. If they gave ROTJ that much in 2023 for it's 40th, they'll give the start of it all at least that much in 2027 for it's FIFTIETH.  I mean, even with the comparison to the actual LSW anniversaries, it's important to remember that even the 2024 anniversary wave wasn't an "anniversary wave", and the special sets were spread throughout the year, often releasing alongside non-anniversary sets. 

And, to speak to the importance of A New Hope's 50th, disney's ALREADY hyping it up. I can't remember the last time a star wars anniversary was hyped up well over a year in advance- we already have the logo for the anniversary, the original cut of the movie has finally been found/reassembled and is coming to theatres, this isn't just your stock "X movie is Y years old"

Exactly my point. They do acknowledge movie anniversaries with special bricks, a logo on the package, and tie-in sets here and there, but never a full dedicated wave like new movies are getting ^^

[Murdoch17]

50 years of ANH? I'm getting old... I remember the big-to-do on the official LEGO Star Wars site for the 30th Anniversary. They had a cool stop-motion video making contest, the random chrome gold C-3PO's in various sets, and the Radiant VII and Echo Base special / limited edition sets... all of which was a big deal! (I still kick myself for not getting the EP 1 ship.) I honestly can't believe it's been twenty years since then...

I do think ANH has been pretty well covered at this point. Besides the 3 sets I mentioned, they could remake the Sky Hopper and Droid Escape pod. I could also definitely see them doing another UCS Falcon.

As I've said, you can argue that something wasn't technically a "full" wave, but we've had pretty significant coverage/anniversary dominated waves before for the movies, and even the LSW anniversary last year wasn't just one big dedicated wave, the anniversary sets were split across March, May, August, and October release waves. It's arguing semantics when the point has always been "significant set coverage" and not literally "Every set released on the same day being an anniversary set".

And, of course, as I've also said, ANH's 50th is getting more fanfare than the other movie anniversaries, or stuff like the "clone wars era" anniversary thing. We ALREADY have official star wars media hyping it up, we already have the logo, and obviously the big announcement that they've got the original cut and are returning it to theatres for the first time, and it's not even 2026 yet, much less the actual anniversary year. I don't think it's all that unlikely that we get significant coverage and maybe even some anniversary figs for ANH50.

Honestly one of the things I'd really like is a standard system OT falcon. Given the "smart" falcon is just over half the price of what the system falcons have been getting to, I think it'd be OK to have both at once. 

My main hope is a UCS Tantive IV, but a system sandcrawler would also be very, very nice. I wouldn't mind a new Y-wing given it'll have been a decade, and packaging it with a TIE advanced wouldn't be unwelcome and could help get around the smartslop slot issue. 

As for figures, I've spoken about my desire for spacetroopers before, but the big one would be the Rebel Honor Guard. Of course there's plenty of cantina aliens we still need but the smartslop has damaged our chances of that. 

[icm]

Maybe instead of a new UCS Falcon at full minifig scale in 2027 they could do a super detailed, super accurate minifig model at a size just larger than the usual playscale. Essentially a retail set version of the way builders have been modding the playscale sets as long as the theme has existed. That could be at the $250-$300 price range to distinguish itself from the $100 Smart Play Falcon without being as distant as the $800 UCS, especially since a UCS Falcon v3 in 2027 would certainly be over $1000. It would be extremely expensive for a glorified playset, but not as bad as the Black Pearl or as expensive as Betrayal at Cloud City or the Mos Eisley Cantina. Considering the prices of the big display Benatar and Milano, they might even be able to bring in a set like that at a lower price point than $250. How's that for a 2027 anniversary set idea? 

Of course, that idea is just wish listing, so maybe it's not appropriate for this thread.
