For the 50th anniversary of “Star Wars,” Lego will release seven new sets in January 2027. They range in price from 39.99 to 299.99 euros. In addition to well-known film scenes, the series includes several exclusive minifigures based on early designs by concept artist Ralph McQuarrie. The largest model recreates the movie poster of “A New Hope” as a three-dimensional wall art.
Movie Poster from 3,209 Pieces
The “A New Hope Movie Poster” consists of 3,209 pieces and costs 299.99 euros. The wall art, measuring 59 centimeters high and 40 centimeters wide, is based on the 1977 movie poster.
It features Luke Skywalker with a lightsaber, Princess Leia, R2-D2, and C-3PO, as well as Darth Vader’s helmet. An interchangeable tile offers another depiction of the poster.
The set will be released on January 4, 2027. Members of Lego Insiders will have access starting January 1. The recently introduced Godzilla model from the Ideas series is even larger, with 5,363 pieces.

Minifigures Based on Early Designs
According to Lego’s press release, several sets include figures based on Ralph McQuarrie’s concept drawings. George Lucas commissioned the artist in 1975 to create early designs for characters like R2-D2, C-3PO, Stormtrooper, and Darth Vader.
The drawings helped convince 20th Century Fox to produce the film. Some designs differed significantly from the later film versions.
Luke, for instance, wore a breathing mask, Han Solo had a lightsaber, and the Stormtroopers had a different appearance. These variants are now appearing for the first time as Lego minifigures.
McQuarrie later worked on “E.T.” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” He won an Oscar for the visual effects of the film “Cocoon.”
Overview of All Seven Sets
The enlarged Luke Skywalker figure consists of 981 pieces and costs 99.99 euros. It stands more than 26 centimeters tall. A concept figure of Princess Leia is also included.
The Rebel Y-Wing Starfighter includes 676 pieces and costs 79.99 euros. The set features Mon Mothma, Dutch Vander, R2-BHD, and a concept figure of Luke Skywalker.
The Darth Vader wall art with 628 pieces costs 69.99 euros. It can be built as a helmet or red lightsaber with the quote “I am your father.” A movie poster tile is included.
