By Mulder, 15 april 2024

As the world prepares to celebrate May the 4th, the famous worldwide Star Wars day, LEGO Star Wars is not to be outdone, announcing a series of events and product launches to mark its 25th anniversary in collaboration with Lucasfilm. This year's celebration promises to be exceptional, with new products that will delight fans of all ages, from seasoned collectors to young padawans discovering the universe.

A nostalgic return with the TIE Interceptor
The highlight of the show is undoubtedly the return of the TIE Interceptor, an iconic Imperial starship that made its debut in the Ultimate Collector Series in 2000. This new version, faithful to the original model seen in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, offers an immersive building experience with its 1,931 parts. At 40 cm long, the set includes an exclusive TIE pilot minifigure and a mouse droid figurine, offering a true immersion in the saga's universe. Available from May 1, 2024, this collector's item will be a must-have for aficionados.

Immersion in the world of the Phantom Menace
LEGO Star Wars is not limited to the original trilogy, and also offers sets celebrating other eras in the galaxy far, far away. The Mos Espa podracer race diorama, inspired by Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator are invitations to recreate memorable scenes from the saga. These sets, rich in detail and functionality, offer a new dimension to the LEGO Star Wars experience.

Interactive experiences and a new book
The LEGO Star Wars craze is not limited to building sets. The collaboration with LEGO game Fortnite introduces new Star Wars content from May 3, enabling even deeper immersion in this beloved universe. In addition, the launch of The Force of Creativity book on May 1 will offer fans a never-before-seen behind-the-scenes look at the creation of LEGO Star Wars sets, with exclusive interviews and drawings.

An invitation to creativity with the LEGO Star Wars Film Festival
The 25th anniversary celebrations are also an opportunity for fans to show off their creativity with the 25-second LEGO Star Wars Film Festival. This initiative encourages enthusiasts to recreate their favorite scenes or invent new stories, using LEGO Star Wars sets and minifigures. A great way to celebrate the creativity and passion that drives the community.

Exclusive offers for fans
From May 1 to 5, buyers of the TIE Interceptor set will be able to enjoy exclusive gifts, including the Battle of Yavin building set and other surprises, making the shopping experience even more special. These offers, available both online and in LEGO stores, underline the importance the brand places on its fan community.

A global event not to be missed
LEGO Star Wars Product Manager Mike Ilacqua expresses his excitement: "May the force be with all LEGO Star Wars fans! We're thrilled to continue our 25th anniversary celebration with this iconic line as well as events and experiences for fans to enjoy. I can't wait to see how fans choose to celebrate the LEGO Star Wars universe on this iconic day around the world."
