The quick list

UCS Millennium Falcon

You know a set is going to be impressive when the Lego Store recommends that people take it home using wheels rather than carry it. And it really is huge: At the time of its launch, the Ultimate Collector's Series Millennium Falcon was the biggest set ever released.

It's since been superseded by newer sets in terms of piece count, but it's still the joint most expensive Lego set you can buy. Its price tag is absolutely eye-watering at $849.99 but you are getting something really special for that — and something that will eternally be the envy of all your friends.

There might have been more Millennium Falcons than any other Lego Star Wars set — in fact, it's not even the only Millennium Falcon on this list — but it's safe to say that no other version of the iconic ship has ever been as incredible as this. This behemoth will dwarf any other version of the set you try and compare it to.

In our Lego Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon review we said it's "the most visually impressive Lego set ever released", and if you're a Star Wars fan it's hard to disagree. Sure, it may be a mass of gray but that just makes it look more like the real thing.

If we had to criticize it at all, we'd say we wish it came with a few more minifigures. While some large Star Wars sets have dozens, there are only seven here, including two versions of Han Solo. Considering it's not exactly minifigure-scale, it's hard to complain though, and everything else about this set is absolutely mind-blowing.

Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser

This isn't the ship you think of when you think of Star Wars. It's probably not in the top five. Heck, it might not even be in the top ten. But if you are familiar with the Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser, you'll know just how cool it is. Hailing from the Clone Wars era, it's essentially the predecessor to the Star Destroyer — but honestly, we think we prefer this.

This Lego model does the original source material some real justice. It's huge to start with: it measures 43 inches (109cm) in length, so unless you have a serious amount of display space you shouldn't consider picking it up. If you do have space to display it, you won't be disappointed, however. It packs in a huge amount of detail, from its engine array to an imposing command tower.

Its striking use of red color helps break up the gray bricks too. A bold use of color is something we don't see too often on Star Wars sets, and it's just one of the reasons why the Venator is so iconic.

Our only real disappointment with this set, as we pointed out in our Lego Star Wars Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser review, is that it has no main hangar. For a model this big, it's a shame — especially when the real ship's main hangar was such a focal point in the Star Wars movies and TV shows.

But it's hard to be too disappointed when everything else is so detailed and wonderful here. Yes, it's very expensive — amongst the most expensive Lego sets ever made, in fact — but if you've got the budget (and space) for it, it's a set you'll treasure for a long time.

X-Wing Starfighter

We've had a lot of X-Wings over the years. A lot. But undoubtedly, this Ultimate Collector's Series version of the iconic Starfighter is the one to beat them all. At a glance, it might not look all that different from the smaller versions we've had over the years — that is, until you see it up close and realize just how big it is.

There's a great amount of detail here, and this set earns its "UCS" status with gusto. Its wings are poseable, and can be locked in multiple positions, which is a touch we love. In our UCS X-Wing Starfighter review, we also commented on how sturdy and well-built the wings in particular are, thanks to being built with a Technic chassis.

We did find some parts of the ship to be a little flimsy while building, however. The nose of the X-Wing in particular is rather unstable, and we kept knocking it until everything came together in the last stages. We wouldn't recommend this as a playset: it's too delicate. But once it's complete and set safely on a shelf, it looks fantastic on display.

It also includes an excellently detailed Luke Skywalker minifigure, and the stand it comes with deserves praise for being so well-integrated to the model — there's little risk of it toppling over. You'll need a fair bit of desk space to get it on display, but you're going to want to show this one off if you pick it up.

Jabba's Sail Barge

At a whopping 3,943 pieces and being roughly 31 inches in length, Lego Star Wars Jabba's Sail Barge is no slouch. But being the latest Ultimate Collector's Series set from Lego, it was never going to be. This set allows you to recreate some of the most iconic scenes from Return of the Jedi — and it even includes a minifigure of Princess Leia wearing that outfit. You know the one.

Minifigures are a big feature here, in fact. There are 10 in total, with a huge Jabba big-fig on top. Along with Leia you'll find C-3PO, Bib Fortuna, Kithaba, R2-D2 and plenty more, all of which can be displayed on a plinth outside of the ship or placed inside to create a scene.

Costing $500, we can't exactly say that Jabba's Sail Barge is a playset, but with so much interactivity and a great set of characters to play with, it's impossible to resist. Whether you're putting a troublemaker in the prison cell, taking control of the cockpit or hanging out in the entertainment room, there's so much detail to take in.

That price, however, is the only real downside we can think of. Because it's expensive we can't recommend it unless you're a serious Lego collector or a die-hard Star Wars fans. You'll also want a fair bit of experience building Lego before you try and tackle a near-4,000 piece set.

If you're up for the challenge and your wallet can take the hit, though? It's absolutely worth it, and you won't regret having it in your collection one jot.

AT-TE Walker

It's been around for almost two years, and so we don't think the AT-TE Walker is long for this world: It's likely to be retired soon. It's a real shame, too, because this is one of the best AT-TE sets we've had from Lego in recent years. We only hope when it eventually gets replaced (as Lego Star Wars sets usually do), its replacement lives up to this one.

There's a lot of detail packed into the set, particularly in its interior. Even opening it up is a joy, with panels opening on either side of the Walker to reveal its innards. In our Lego Star Wars AT-TE Walker review, we said it was the most detailed AT-TE interior ever, with space for up to seven minifigure clone troopers to sit. You'll also find a gunner control panel inside, a weapons rack, and even a mug so those troopers can stay hydrated while out on a mission.

We think it's a great build, too. It's surprisingly quick, given the set is made up of 1,082 pieces — although that's perhaps just because we enjoyed putting it together so much. Spread over six bags, everything feels methodical and logical, and there are some great building techniques used throughout.

There's a nice selection of minifigures here too, and it's one of the only sets you'll find Commander Cody in.

Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder

Forget the near-$800 price tag of the likes of the Ultimate Collector's Series AT-AT and Millennium Falcon. This is one of our favorite UCS sets currently available, and the main reason is its reasonable price tag. At $239.99, it feels practically a bargain in comparison, and while it might not be as big or piece-heavy, it's every bit as detailed as its counterparts, earning its UCS badge with gusto.

It is true that we've had multiple Landspeeders since Lego started making Star Wars sets back in 1999. In our Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder review we noted there'd been at least 11 X-34 Landspeeders made, which is rather astronomical. None are a patch on this one, however, which dwarfs the lot of them with its sheer size and scale.

Obviously, this Landspeeder is far from being minifigure-sized (you'd need a Luke Skywalker action figure to be somewhere on the right scale), but we're pleased to say that the set does come with two minifigs: There's Luke Skywalker (obviously), and C-3PO. Rather than be part of the set, they're designed to stand next to the display plaque that comes with it.

Our only real complaint about this set is that the building process can be a little repetitive at times, particularly when you get onto the engines. Putting three almost identical engines together is tedious, but they at least look fantastic when built.

R2-D2

For a droid that’s so famous for being shiny and smooth, we were very impressed by just how well R2-D2 fits the Lego style. Smartly built, this model not only leans back like the droid himself thanks to his retractable mid-leg, but can also open and extend his front hatches, pop out a moveable periscope, and rotate his head. Oh, and inside his head you'll find a secret compartment containing Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber. How neat is that?

It’s a fairly expensive set at over $200, but there are few more beloved and recognizable Star Wars characters, and it’ll make a stunning centerpiece in any Star Wars fan’s home. In our Lego Star Wars R2-D2 review, we praised the set as a display piece — but suggested it might not make the best playset due to being rather fragile.

Plus, who doesn’t want their very own sassy droid sidekick? It’s also a fun build that combines some unique building techniques in order to accurately portray R2-D2 as the three-legged space dustbin he is.

If you love R2-D2 but don't want to spend quite so much, there's a new, slightly smaller model now available. Costing $99.99, the new Lego R2-D2 is made up of 1,050 pieces and a slightly easier build, catering for kids — it's rated ages 10+, so it's more suited to beginners. And it still comes with a display plaque, giving it the appearance of a UCS set.

Millennium Falcon

We've had the huge $850 UCS Millennium Falcon, but how about one that doesn't require a bank loan to buy and an extra room in your house to store? This playset-sized Millennium Falcon has been around since 2019 but it's one of our favorites, looking stunning while also offering a great experience for kids and adults alike.

It may be more than five years old, then, but Lego shows no sign of retiring it just yet, which we're thrilled about. It's a great midi-sized Millennium Falcon, giving those of us who can't afford the giant behemoth further up this list a valid option that still looks fantastic.

As we picked up in our Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon review, the minifigure selection here is a bit of a mixed bag, however. On the one hand, it’s cool to get an older Lando, but on the other, a Millennium Falcon without Han Solo just feels wrong.

If you want a Millennium Falcon with an even smaller price tag, Lego has just released a brand new version as part of its Lego Star Wars 25th Anniversary range. The 2024 Millennium Falcon costs $84.99 and with 921 pieces, it's hardly a slouch. It comes on a display stand, built to a similar scale as the Executor Super Star Destroyer, which you'll also find on this list.

Executor Super Star Destroyer

There's no denying that Lego's Ultimate Collectors Series sets are the ultimate purchase for adult fans of Lego. But with price tags going up to $850, we can't all afford them. Lego's come up with the perfect solution: Star Wars sets aimed at adults, designed to be displayed, but costing a fraction of the price.

The Executor Super Star Destroyer is the first in (hopefully) a long line of Star Wars ships costing sub-$100 while still packing in a lot of detail. This one is 17 inches (43cm) long, so it's no slouch and while it doesn't open up or include any minifigures, it's instantly recognizable as a Super Star Destroyer. It even has two micro-sized regular Star Destroyers flying alongside it to give it some scale, which we absolutely love.

There's obviously no interior to look at here, but there's plenty of exterior detail to give it life. The clever array of bricks gives the Executor Super Star Destroyer a nice texture, and it uses some great building techniques in the process. We particularly love the red-glowing engines towards the rear of the ship.

It's made up of 630 pieces, which isn't the biggest set in the world. But we find this to be the perfect size for building on an evening: You can sit down and know you can finish it in a couple of hours, unlike larger sets which take days.

N-1 Starfighter

Considering it costs just $60 and is made up of 400 pieces, we're pleasantly surprised at how large the Lego Star Wars The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter is. It's 16.5 inches long! That's no slouch, especially for a playset.

Since it's aimed at children and designed to be swooshed through the air, however, the N-1 Starfighter lacks much of the detail we'd expect from a higher-priced set aimed at adults. Still, there's a lot to like, including its excellent minifigures (Mando, Peli Motto, Grogu and a BD droid) and wonderfully designed engines. We particularly love the passenger dome with a place for Grogu to sit and watch the world go by as Mando flies.

We've had a bit of trouble with some parts of the build, however, such as the rear thruster which is a little flimsy. That's the downside of a set with a limited piece count. Still, until we get an Ultimate Collector's Series version of Mando's Starfighter, this one is more than good enough.
