The biggest Lego Star Wars sets ever released (as of August 2024)
That’s no moon!
2024 marks the 25th anniversary of Lego Star Wars. 25 whole years! When Lego released sets coinciding with the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, it likely had no idea how big its collaboration with Star Wars would be. 25 years later, it’s a strong as ever: we get new sets almost monthly, coming in all shapes and sizes. But what are the biggest Lego Star Wars sets ever released?
There have been over 850 Lego Star Wars sets released over the years. Some are tiny, pocket money-sized builds. But others are huge, hulking sets. We know the Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon is the biggest of them all at 7,541 pieces (you can read more about it below), but what other giant Lego Star Wars sets have there been over the years? Here, we count down the 10 biggest Lego Star Wars sets ever released. So far, of course: we have no doubt many more are due in the years to come.
A version of this list was first published in May 2021. It’s been updated since with new sets and information.
10. Lego Star Wars 75309 Republic Gunship
- Availability window: August 2021 to December 2023
- RRP: £344.99
- Number of pieces: 3,292
- Number of minifigures: 2
We reckon it won’t be long until the Ultimate Collector’s Series Republic Gunship gets knocked off this list of biggest Lego Star Wars sets of all time, but for now, it’s clinging to 10th place. And deservedly so: while the Republic Gunship may be one of the more… bizarre looking Star Wars ships, it does have a strange place in our heart. And if you’ve never quite seen this set in the flesh, it’s hard to imagine just how big it is — it’s almost 60cm tall and 50cm wide.
With its colourful exterior, it stands out amongst the sea of grey-bricked Lego Star Wars ships, and its bubble-shaped windows give it an air of personality. We just wish it came with more minifigures: coming from the Clone Wars era of Star Wars, there are plenty of characters who could have come bundled with it. All we got was Mace Windu and a Clone Trooper Commander.
9. Lego Star Wars 75079 Sandcrawler
- Availability window: May 2014 to November 2016
- RRP: £249.99
- Number of pieces: 3,296
- Number of minifigures: 14
Just about holding its place on this list of biggest Lego Star Wars sets of all time is the Ultimate Collector’s Series Sandcrawler from 2014. We have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this set: It looks rather scrappy from the exterior — but then, that’s the point. It’s made up of pieces of junk, and the model does a fantastic job of recreating that.
What we perhaps love most is all the minifigures and droids that are included with the set. You’ll find R2-D2 and C-3PO, but there’s also a bunch of other droids too, most of which you won’t find in many other sets. It feels like more of a playset compared to some of the other UCS models, but we’re absolutely fine with that.
8. Lego Star Wars 10143 Death Star II
- Availability window: October 2007 to April 2009
- RRP: £249.99
- Number of pieces: 3,441
- Number of minifigures: 0
This isn’t the only Death Star on this list of biggest Lego Star Wars sets ever released, but it is the most unique. You see, this is a part-destroyed Death Star: there are no rooms to explore or internal features to look at. But it’s very striking in its own right, making an absolutely killer display piece if we do say so ourselves.
If you’re lucky enough to have the Death Star II in your collection, you’re sitting on a bit of a goldmine, too: it’s worth around £2,000 on the second-hand market, giving it one of the highest percentage mark-ups of any set. But more than its sheer value, there’s a lot to love about this set as a Lego fan. We’re not sure we’ll ever get another partly-destroyed Death Star quite like it. It’s just a shame it didn’t come with any minifigures.
7. Lego Star Wars 75159 Death Star
- Availability window: October 2016 to November 2020
- RRP: £409.99
- Number of pieces: 4,016
- Number of minifigures: 27
This isn’t the first Lego Death Star, and in fact we’re grouping it together with its predecessor, the Lego Star Wars 10188 Death Star from 2008, which retired in 2010. Aside from some different minifigures, the sets are very similar, with just 200 pieces different between the two of them. Whichever version you have then, it’s bound to be equally impressive.
We really don’t think this will be the last Death Star we see, either. With this retiring nearly four years ago, we can see a new (likely bigger) version of it releasing in the next year or two. But until then, this one will continue to impress us. It’s absolutely huge: its big, round structure displays a series of rooms, all featuring key scenes from Star Wars. So not only is this one of the biggest Lego Star Wars sets ever released, it’s also one of the most iconic, packed full of Easter eggs that only true Star Wars fans will appreciate.
6. Lego Star Wars 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer
- Availability window: October 2019 to December 2022
- RRP: £614.99
- Number of pieces: 4,784
- Number of minifigures: 2
This is far from the first Lego Imperial Star Destroyer, but it’s by far the largest (and therefore the most impressive). And costing an eye-watering £614.99, it’s one of the most expensive Lego sets ever released. If you happen to have one of these sets in your collection, though, we’ve no doubt you’ll say it’s absolutely worth every penny.
Released in 2019, this Imperial Star Destroyer packs in a massive 4,784 pieces, but it’s the sheer scale of it that’s most impressive. It’s a whopping 110cm long. Over a metre! If its price isn’t barrier enough for most of us, a lack of storage or display space will be. Still, there’s no denying how impressive this is as one of the biggest Lego Star Wars sets ever released, both in pieces and sheer scale.
5. Lego Star Wars 10179 Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon
- Availability window: October 2007 to May 2010
- RRP: £342.49
- Number of pieces: 5,197
- Number of minifigures: 5
Back in 2007, when this version of the Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon was released, a set of this size was rather extraordinary. Now, 5,000 pieces isn’t very uncommon at all, but back then, sets even above 1,500 pieces were far and few between, making this one very special indeed. And with a price tag of “just” £342.49! Now, that feels like a bit of a bargain, but some 17 years ago, it was a huge, huge ask for a Lego set.
Still, it was popular enough that Lego continued to make big sets. Granted, few are as big as this: it’s been more than 15 years and we’ve still only had four Lego Star Wars sets to beat it. But the UCS series is going strong, and while this Millennium Falcon wasn’t the first, it was certainly amongst the most popular.
4. Lego Star Wars 75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser
- Availability window: October 2023 to present
- RRP: £559.99
- Number of pieces: 5,374
- Number of minifigures: 2
The lack of minifigures is about the only thing that’s disappointing with the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser. In every other way, it’s an absolutely stunning (and huge) feat of Lego engineering. But with minifigures of only Captain Rex and Admiral Yularen, it leaves us a little wanting. Still, it’s understandable: this isn’t a minifigure-scale set, so they’re only there as decoration, sitting next to the UCS plaque. But more would’ve been nice — with the Millennium Falcon below getting eight, it’s a little tight.
Still, we can’t complain too much because this behemoth of a ship really doesn’t need any extra bells and whistles to sell it. Measuring 1.09 metres (!) in length and 54cm wide, it’s an absolute beast, putting most other Destroyer-type ships to absolute shame. This one’s more eye-catching than most, too, because it sports a red and grey design, breaking up the usual mass of plain grey that we see on Star Wars ships.
3. Lego Star Wars 75331 The Razor Crest
- Availability window: October 2022 to present
- RRP: £519.99
- Number of pieces: 6,187
- Number of minifigures: 4
Here’s the Mandalorian’s time to shine. The Ultimate Collector’s Series Razor Crest isn’t the only version of Mando’s ill-fated ship, but it is, of course, the biggest. There’s a lot of really cool details packed in here, such as internal parts in the engines, a hydraulic-powered hatch for cargo storage and a fully-stocked interior including a carbon-freezing chamber and an escape pod.
It’s a huge ship, as you’d expect, being the third biggest Lego Star Wars set ever released. It measures 72cm in length and it’s just over 50cm wide, so you’ll need plenty of space to display it. It looks absolutely brilliant though: if you’re a fan of The Mandalorian, we’d consider this a complete must-have.
2. Lego Star Wars 75313 AT-AT
- Availability window: November 2021 to present
- RRP: £734.99
- Number of pieces: 6,785
- Number of minifigures: 9
The Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Edition AT-AT is impressive and record-breaking in numerous ways. It’s the second biggest Lego Star Wars set of all time, and it’s also joint-first most expensive, tying with the UCS Millennium Falcon. It’s also the tallest: this hulking mechanical boy stands at 49.9cm tall — that’s half a metre. He’s also half a metre long. Phew.
Yes, it’s a lot of money, but it’s also a lot of Lego. At 6,785 pieces this is a set only for serious collectors and builders. You’ll need to put aside a good few days’ worth of building time to get this thing constructed. But once you do, we’ve no doubt the finished result will be worth it.
1. Lego Star Wars 75192 Millennium Falcon
- Availability window: April 2018 to present
- RRP: £734.99
- Number of pieces: 7,541
- Number of minifigures: 8
Before the giant Imperial Star Destroyer and the AT-AT came to join it, 2018’s Millennium Falcon was the single most expensive Lego set by a huge margin. Not surprising when you consider the size of the set: a whopping 7,541 pieces. It’s since been dwarfed by the 10,000 piece Colosseum, but it remains the biggest Lego Star Wars set to this day. The fact that it’s still around some six years after it first released tells you something about how special the UCS Millennium Falcon is: very, very few sets stay on shelves that long.
One of many Lego Millennium Falcons available, this one is the biggest and most impressive of them all. You better make sure you’ve got plenty of spare time before you tackle this, since takes in the region of 30 hours to build. It’s certainly not a build for the faint-hearted, but what an impressive model it is when it’s finished.
