As the year comes to an end, it has us thinking: What are the best Lego Star Wars sets released throughout 2025? It’s been a pretty strong year for Lego Star Wars overall, with more than 30 sets released, covering a whole gamut of prices and sizes — including one record-breaking set. We'll get to that shortly, but no prizes for guessing which.
We've had not one but three Ultimate Collector's Series sets (the first time we've had that many in a single year since 2002), one of the cutest Lego Star Wars sets to date (Grogu with Hover Pram), a collection of BrickHeadz (Revenge of the Sith Heroes & Villains) and a few new Lego Star Wars helmets for the first time in two years. We've also had an influx of mid-sized display ships, some more unique display sets (K-2SO, we're looking at you), and a smattering of playsets.

Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship
It wouldn't be right if we didn't have an Ultimate Collector's Series set in our round-up of the best Lego Star Wars sets so far this year. And in fact, this isn't the only one you'll find. Admittedly, we don't think Jango Fett's Firespray-Class Starship is the best UCS set ever released, but we can't deny that it's impressive nonetheless. Made up of 2,970 pieces, it's the biggest iteration of this style of starship we've had so far — and there have been a few.
If you picked up the Slave I UCS set, which retired a few years ago, you might think Jango Fett's Starship is a bit too familiar. It certainly looks similar, with a similar shape and design, but this one boasts more than 1,000 extra pieces, providing plenty of extra detail and a noticeably bigger build. Do you need to own both of them? Well, no. But that doesn't mean you won't want to. We love that it comes with a stand, too, making it easy to put on display and admire. It's worth fiddling with once in a while, though, thanks to all its moving parts and compartments.
The only thing we're slightly disappointed with is that it only has two minifigures. We'd have liked to have seen a larger collection here.
Gingerbread AT-AT Walker
Alright, including a holiday set as one of our favorite Lego Star Wars sets of 2025 might be an odd choice — but just look at the Gingerbread AT-AT Walker. It's a magnificent sight. It somehow manages to perfectly blend together the spirit of the festive season while also clearly capturing Star Wars fandom, and we just simply love it.
It's also excellent value for money: $60 for a 697-piece set feels like a real steal. It's no slouch, either: measuring nine inches in length, it's big enough to command attention without requiring too much of your shelf or desk space. Next to the rest of your holiday ornaments, we think it's absolutely perfect.
Let's not forget the gingerbread-colored Darth Vader minifigure that it comes with too. We adore unique minifigures, and you don't get more unique than this. We might have had plenty of AT-AT Walkers in the past, but none of them have been so delightfully decorated. It's unique, it's fun, and it's a set we're proud to have in our collection.
Brick-Built Star Wars Logo
With Lego releasing a brick-built Marvel Logo earlier this year, it's no surprise that they've followed up with a Star Wars logo to match. It's a similar size and, just like the Marvel Logo set, it's a great rendition, nailing the curvature of each letter of the logo perfectly.
There are some downsides compared to the Marvel Logo, however. That one comes with five minifigures, whereas this Lego Star Wars Logo doesn't feature any. It's not completely devoid of secrets, though: You'll find a hidden compartment at the top of the 'T': lift a piece away to find a tiny ship. It's neat, but we think we'd have preferred pop-out minifigures.
Still, as we said in our Lego Star Wars logo review, this is a great set to add to any Lego Star Wars collection — it will look fantastic standing behind a Millennium Falcon, or next to a range of Star Wars helmets.

Wicket the Ewok
We have a feeling that people are either going to love this set or hate it. We happen to be in the former camp: We think Wicket the Ewok is one of the best Lego Star Wars sets released in 2025. For a few reasons, really. One: Wicket is adorable. Two: We've never had a brick-built Wicket before. And three: It's just so unique.
Being made up of 1,010 pieces, it's not the largest set in the world, but it makes for a managable larger build, particularly if older kids are tackling this by themselves — and given the set's 12+ age rating, it's likely that they will. It is a little pricey given the amount of pieces here, though, so it might be wise to wait for Wicket to enter the sale.
Still, there's a lot to love, thanks to the texture given to the Ewok's fur — a tough feat to achieve with plastic bricks. Its face is unmistakably Wicket, and it even comes with a tiny Wicket minifigure to stand next to it. There's a UCS information plaque too, which makes it feel like more of a premium set.
Kylo Ren Helmet
When we first saw Lego Star Wars Kylo Ren helmet, we couldn't help but groan. We saw the silver markings on the face and assumed they must be stickers. We hate stickers. But it seems Lego heard our cries, because there isn't a single sticker in this set. You heard that right: Every marking here is entirely printed. We imagine that fact alone will make this a fairly sought-after model, simply because some of its pieces will be unique and exclusive to this set.
Love him or hate him, there's no denying that this model perfectly replicates Kylo Ren. We can almost hear Adam Driver's dulcet tones coming out of it. Like the rest of the helmets in the collection, this one is built atop a solid and sturdy stand, and it comes with a display plaque (printed with 'Kylo Ren') to attach to the front of it.
Chopper (C1-10P) Astromech Droid
We don't think Chopper is the most iconic droid in the Star Wars universe, but it is one of the cutest. This little model is adorable, although there's emphasis on the little — it's only 8.5 inches tall, which is a little smaller than we'd expect a droid to be. Still, made up of 1,039 pieces, it's still a sizeable build, and a great choice if you want something to sink your teeth into for a few hours.
There are some neat details on Chopper: His head can rotate, and you can adjust his antenna, pose his arms, move his legs and fold out a tool from his chest. You can even completely detach the arms and center wheel, which gives the appearance that they've been retracted into the droid's body. It's a shame that they don't actually retract into the body, but we imagine that would have made Chopper a much more expensive (and complex) set.
AT-AT Driver Helmet
We think the AT-AT Driver Helmet might just be one of our favorite Lego Star Wars helmets yet. Sure, this might not be the most iconic Star Wars character ever made — we're certainly not all sitting around thinking, "remember the iconic performance of AT-AT Driver #2 in The Empire Strikes Back?". Regardless, there's no denying this is one seriously cool helmet; one which packs in a lot more detail than your average Star Wars helmet.
It's a fun build, too, as we mentioned in our AT-AT Driver Helmet review. Thanks to the slightly different shape of the head and face, you'll need to employ some different building techniques, so even if you've built every helmet previously, this one will feel fresh. We also love the pop of color: The red accents stand out against the gray coloring of the helmet, making it much more eye-catching than most other sets in the series.

Acclamator-Class Assault Ship
There's an awful lot to like about the Lego Star Wars Acclamator-Class Assault Ship, but our favorite thing has to be its price point. Adult-focused sets that result in a wonderful display piece for under $50? More of this, please, Lego. The Acclamator-Class Assault Ship might not be very big — it's nine inches at its longest point — but it's perfectly formed, and despite its size, it still manages to include a lot of detail.
It features engines, a command tower, a bridge and a detailed tail. A smattering of red bricks and some printed patterns (no stickers!) give it a much-needed pop of color. We sung its praises in our Acclamator-Class Assault Ship review earlier this year: It's eye-catching, and it's not going to take up too much space on your desk or a shelf. What more could you want, really? We really hope we see more ships arrive on this scale in 2026.

Grogu with Hover Pram
Who doesn't love Grogu? The adorable 'baby Yoda' as he's affectionately known is one of the best things to come from modern Star Wars, and so we welcome any Lego model of him. This isn't the first time we've had a brick-built Grogu, of course: the previous model, simply called The Child, is now retired. And this one isn't just Grogu: It also comes with his hover pram.
As much as we like the hover pram, it's a shame that the majority of the set is taken up with the pram itself. Grogu is fairly small in comparison, and although he's ridiculously cute, we think we'd have preferred a slightly bigger Grogu model. Still, as we talked about in our Lego Star Wars Grogu with Hover Pram review, there are some nice details here, like the frog Grogu can hold in his hand, and the fact that his head, ears and arms can move.

Death Star
You didn't think we'd miss off the Ultimate Collector's Series Death Star, did you? Last but not least, this huge and expensive set is the most expensive set Lego has ever released. It's also the biggest Star Wars set in terms of piece count, and those two factoids alone make this seriously impressive. There's no way we could leave this off a list of the best Lego Star Wars sets released in 2025 on sheer merit alone.
But its price — an eye-watering $999.99 — likely means that many people simply won't be able to enjoy this set. We think it's just too expensive for a Lego set. It's also huge, and not many people are going to have enough space to display it. There's also the fact that it's not a full Death Star, but a cutaway section of it — all reasons we've discussed in detail in our article about why we won't buy the UCS Death Star.
And yet, we still find ourselves drawn to this magnificent set, even if it is ridiculous in a lot of ways. It's packed with minifigures (38 in total) and each section of the Death Star displays a key scene from the Star Wars movies: There's a throne room, a trash compactor, a hangar control room and a whole lot more. There's no denying it's a spectacular sight to behold.
