These Seven LEGO Star Wars Sets are Launching on 1st August
If you’re a fan of LEGO Star Wars, mark 1st August in your diary: seven new sets are making their way to stores. There’s a range of sizes and prices, and we’ve got a rundown of them all right here.
LEGO 75315 Imperial Light Cruiser
- RRP £149.99
- Age 10+
- 1,336 pieces
- 5 minifigures, plus a tiny Child
The biggest of the new LEGO Star Wars sets launching on 1st August, the Imperial Light Cruiser was revealed during last weekend’s LEGO CON. It’s a fairly sizeable ship at 58cm long. There’s a nice amount of detail packed in: working blasters, two mini TIE Fighters tucked away, and a full interior that can be revealed when you lift up the front. See more information on LEGO.com
LEGO 75314 The Bad Batch Attack Shuttle
- RRP £89.99
- Age 9+
- 969 pieces
- 5 minifigures
Announced earlier this year, the Attack Shuttle is from Star Wars’ new series, The Bad Batch. It’s always nice to see a brand new ship come to life. This one has a lot of details we love: wings that can move upwards or outwards; an interior cabin, working shooters, and storage for all your weapons. It also comes with two landspeeders.

LEGO 75296 Darth Vader Meditation Chamber
- RRP £59.99
- Age 18+
- 663 pieces
- 2 minifigures
LEGO Darth Vader Meditation Chamber was revealed earlier this month. It’s a display set aimed at adults that looks to be in the same range as the recent wave of helmets and droids that we’ve seen. It opens and closes, enveloping Darth Vader within its chamber. You can read more about the set here.
LEGO 75316 Mandalorian Starfighter
- RRP £49.99
- Age 9+
- 544 pieces
- 3 minifigures
Based on the hit series The Mandalorian, here’s a great-looking LEGO Star Wars ship that we’ve never seen before. The blue hues on the wings make a change from the usual wash of grey we’ve become used to. And the minifigures included – Bo-Katan Kryze, Gar Saxon and a Mandalorian Loyalist – all look excellent.

LEGO 75312 Boba Fett’s Starship
- RRP £44.99
- Age 9+
- 593 pieces
- 2 minifigures
“Boba Fett’s Starship”? That looks a lot like the Slave I, you might think. And you wouldn’t be wrong – but this familiar Star Wars craft has a new name. We suppose it at least stops confusion with the previous models. This one’s a bit smaller than previous Slave I models we’ve seen, but it packs in a lot of features. We particularly like the fact it has a built-in stand which allows the ship to be displayed upright. Read more about it on LEGO.com.
LEGO 75311 Imperial Armored Marauder
- RRP £34.99
- Age 8+
- 478 pieces
- 4 minifigures
Another new ship to the LEGO Star Wars range, the Imperial Armored Marauder might be on the cheaper side of things, but it still packs in plenty of features. It has working turrets, a cockpit to fit a minifigure in, an internal cabin and a lookout point. Read more about it on LEGO.com.
LEGO 75310 Duel on Mandalore
- RRP £17.99
- Age 7+
- 147 pieces
- 2 minifigures
This tiny set will make a nice addition to any LEGO Star Wars displays, but it’s the minifigures that are the real attraction, we think. It comes with Ahsoka Tano and Darth Maul. Read more about the set on LEGO.com by clicking here.
