LEGO Announces First Star Wars 50th Anniversary Sets: A New Hope Poster, Darth Vader Wall Art, and More

Star Wars is going big for its upcoming 50th anniversary — including its first-ever 70mm IMAX re-release — but it’s also going small. LEGO has announced the first wave of its Star Wars 50th Anniversary collection, with all seven sets hitting shelves on January 1st, 2027. In addition to some exciting art sets and iconic battle scenes, many of the sets come with collectible poster tiles or figures inspired by Ralph McQuarrie’s original concept art. Check out a quick list of all seven sets below, with more details ahead. A New Hope Movie Poster (#75467) – $299.99 Darth Vader™ 2 in 1 Wall Art (#75466) – $69.99 Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker™ Minifigure (#75482) – $99.99 Stormtrooper™ (Concept Art) Helmet (#75495) – $79.99 Rebel Y-Wing Starfighter™ (#75478) – $79.99 Duel on Bespin™ (#75480) – $79.99 Mustafar™ Duel (#75470) – $39.99 Brick-Built Star Wars ArtLEGO Two of the new Star Wars 50th Anniversary LEGO sets are actually three of the new sets. Let me explain: The 628-piece Darth Vader™ 2 in 1 Wall Art is, as the name suggests, actually two builds. One is a relief of Vader’s iconic helmet with a red highlight (which can hang or stand), while the other is a wall-mountable recreation of the Sith Lord’s Lightsaber with the universe-shattering quote, “I am your father” emblazoned over top. However you choose to build or display it, you’ll also get a The Empire Strikes Back poster tile. Or, just build an entire poster, with the A New Hope Movie Poster set, a glorious 3,209-piece recreation of the original theatrical poster. You’ll build a brick-by-brick replica of the classic art, including Luke, Lei, R2-D2, C-3PO, Vader’s helmet, the Death Staar, and a umber of X-Wing fighters. Also included is a poster tile featuring the other memorable A New Hope design recreated in LEGO style. Big Star Wars Models Made Small, Small Ones Made Big(LEGO) This trio includes three models, starting with the Up-Scaled Luke Skywalker™ Minifigure. This 981-piece set lets you build a 10-inch tall “minifig” of Luke Skywalker in his X-Wing pilot gear. It comes packaged with a limited edition Princess Leia concept art minifgure and blaster. Another unique concept art build is the Stormtrooper™ (Concept Art) Helmet, the latest in the Star Wars helmet line. With 832 bricks, you can rebuild artist Ralph McQuarrie’s original design for the classic white Stormtrooper helmets, and display it alongside a Rogue One: A Star Wars Story poster tile. For the ship lovers, there’s also the Rebel Y-Wing Starfighter™, a 676-piece play set that fires two laser cannons from the front and drops proton bombs. It comes with a quartet of minifigs: Dutch Vander, R2-BHD, Mon Mothma, and a limited-release Luke Skywalker concept art figure that, in our opinion, is going to make this one of the most sought-after sets from the collection. Epic Star Wars Battles, Little LEGO Bricks(LEGO) Lastly, there are a pair of defining duels coming as brick-built display models. The bigger of the two is a 718-piece model of the Duel on Bespin, that famous The Empire Strikes Back scene where Darth Vader reveals to a dangling Luke Skywalker, “No, I am your father!” The build features that phrase on a display plaque, and you can be-spinning Vader to make him swing his Lightsaber via a lever in the back of the model. This actually comes with two Vader minifigs, as it also features the concept art version. Then there’s the smaller Mustafar Duel from Revenge of the Sith, featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi and a scarred Anakin Skywalker clashing over a sea of lava. A twisting knob lets the pair do battle, and a printed plaque features the heartbreaking Kenobi quote, “You were the chosen one!” The concept art minifigure in this set is also looking like it could be a fan favorite, as it’s Han Solo, and McQuarrie’s original design is drastically different from the scruffy-looking nerf herder we all know and love.
