If you are a fan of wither Star Wars or Lego then you are aware of the popularity of Star Wars Lego. Apart from the fact that it is a merging of two huge properties it is also as a matter of fact cool to see the locations, ships and characters of Star Wars come to life in Lego.
In 2009 Lego renowned 10 years of production sets based around the Star Wars franchise and one year later, we take this opening to look back at the sets that are simply too cool to pass up, no matter how old you are.

The big daddy of Star Wars Lego sets, both in minifigure count and basic coolness is set 10188, The Death Star. Released in 2008 and with a massive total of 24 figures, together with multiples of the main characters in dissimilar costumes this set is how all playsets should be made. With 3800 pieces and measuring Death Star measures 16'(41cm) tall and 16'½'(42cm) wide. It is a 360 diorama with rooms on each side representing dissimilar landmark moments in the former trilogy together with the trash compactor from A New Hope and the Final Battle in the middle of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in the Emperor's Throne Room. At 9 get it now before it blows out on the secondary market.
Speaking of blowing out on the secondary market, chasing down the Cloud City set now is going to set you back just under 00. an additional one Star Wars playset it comes in at 705 pieces and features 7 rather hard to find figures. With an open layout it depicts the discrete important moments in the Empire Strikes Back finale, set on Bespin, otherwise known as Cloud City. It is a cool set that has many play features and makes a cool display piece.
The Ucs Millennium Falcon is the biggest Star Wars Lego set produced so far at 5195 pieces. It was the first Ucs release to highlight minifigures and fans appreciated the quality to use it as a playset, on the outside at least. Inside there is not much to speak of, due to the restraints put on the layout by design requirements of such a large and flat ship. Despite this small grip it remains one of the most beloved sets with fans.
The At-At has always been a favourite design for Star Wars fans. Few former fans can forget that occasion in the darkened theatre when these All Terrain charge Transports walked out of the Hoth snowscape in The Empire Strikes Back. Lego has produced a whole of versions of the At-At but the most beloved has to be their motorized version. Purists will baulk at this suggestion but it is a very fun set and production the converyance walk by itself for the first time is s sight to behold.
Other beloved models comprise Jabba's Sail Barge (set 6210) which has roughly all the major characters together with rare figures Lando and Boba Fett in one place (just missing Chewbacca and C3Po). A similar character set exists in the Battle Of Endor (Set 8038) which is beloved kids with because of its discrete elements and collectors because of the cool ewoks.
The sets above just skim the outside of the cool sets released over the last 10 years and hopefully, with the Star Wars franchise still going strong, Lego will continue its great association with the galaxy far, far away.
