These are Star Wars Lego sets you're looking for. Lego may be keeping upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII Lego sets under wraps — they literally had nothing to show for the upcoming film at New York Toy Fair — but that doesn't mean there aren't a whole bunch of new Star Wars sets on the horizon. Lego has dozens of new sets and character variations, even tiny Mini Figures. The new Lego sets traverse, among others, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars Rebels TV series. Instead of presenting everything Lego has planned for the Star Wars Universe, we picked out the five coolest sets, ones that you'll probably want to add to your collection. 1. Darth Vader Transformation The transformationImage: lance ulanoff/mashable Anakin is back there.Image: lance ulanoff/mashableThis 282-piece set is a recreation of the transformation chamber from Star Wars: Episode III (perhaps the only watchable episode from George Lucas' prequels). The set also manages to make the Sith Lord's transformation fun.
On one side of a tiny Lego table lies the scarred, broken Anakin Skywalker without his helmet. You press in a dial, twist and the table turns to reveal the suited-up (or rebuilt) Darth Vader. It ships in June for $24.99. 2. The Battle on Scarif Lego palm trees made the cut. Always remember the Lego Battle on Scarif. — Lance Ulanoff (@LanceUlanoff) February 20, 2017 Has there ever been a more tragic scene depicted in Lego? Spoiler Alert: A lot of bad stuff goes down on Scarif during Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The 419-piece Lego set features most of the key Rogue One characters, including Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor. It ships in March for $49.99. Run for your lives!Image: Lance Ulanoff/mashableOne of the most action-packed and, yes, funniest scenes in Star Wars: Episode VII is Hans Solo, Chewbacca, Rey and Finn's escape from the insane, octopus-like Rathtar's while on board Solo's freighter, the Eravana. The 836-piece set has all the key characters, a multiple Rathtars and cage for the monster.
It ships in June for $79.99.Image: lance ulanoff/mashableOne of the best things about Lego's Star Wars series is all the inventive ways the toy company figures out how to recreate the special effects wizardry from the movies. The usually outdo themselves on the spacecraft, The Y-Wing Starfighter from Rogue One is no exception. At 691 pieces, it's impressively detailed and even includes the "evil" R2, the C2 B5. The set ships in March for $59.99 5: Jaku Quad Jumper You can blow this one up, too.Image: lance ulanoff/mashableThis Quad Jumper will get more playtime on your desk than it did in Star Wars: Episode VII. It's the ship Finn and Rey plan to make a getaway in until The First Order Tie fighters blow it to smithereens. Now you get to rebuild it out of 457 pieces. It ships in June for $49.99.
