Thus far there have been 7 movies released based on the Star Wars storyline. LucasFilms has done a tremendous job marketing these films and creating products based on these movies. One of the more popular products for the Star Wars movies is LEGO sets. The LEGO Group signed on with LucasFilms in 1999 to recreate scenes from each movie and the response from fans has proven to be very positive.

The first movie released for the prequels trilogy, the Phantom Menace. The LEGO Group released several LEGO systems based on this film including the only Star Wars LEGO Set that is built for toddlers, the Podracer Bucket. This set, like its name suggests, is sold in a bucket and is toddler friendly.

Attack of the Clones, not to be confused with the Clone Wars, was the second film released as a follow up to the original Star Wars series. The Attack of the Clones LEGO Sets include some of the more desirable Star Wars LEGO mini figures, like the Tusken Raiders, which are unique to this series, Count Dooku, Yoda, and the ever popular and hard to find Jango Fett.

The Revenge of the Sith was the third movie released after the original movies. Episode III was released in 2005. The Revenge of the Sith series of LEGO sets includes one of the more imaginative LEGO sets in the Darth Vader Transformation. This set includes an Anakin Walker mini figure and a Darth Vader mini figure and depicts Anakin’s transformation to Darth Vader.

Episode IV: A New Hope is the very first movie released by Lucasfilms way back in 1977. The LEGO Group didn’t released the first Episode IV LEGO set until 1999! This is because it took that long for the two of them to come together and form a partnership.

The Empire Strikes Back was the second film released of the original movies. This film was originally released in 1980. Episode V LEGO sets include some highly prized Star Wars LEGO mini figures including Boba Fett, a Han Solo in carbonite, and Emperor Palpatine. A great LEGO set to own from this series of LEGO sets is the Cloud City 10123.

Episode VI: Return of the Jedi is the final film released of the original series. This film was originally released in 1983. The LEGO sets included in Episode VI include some of the Star Wars LEGO Sets most prized systems including the Jabba the Hut series of sets. The Death Star LEGO Set is a great example of a well thought out, well crafted LEGO System.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars was released in 2008 and was based on the animated mini series of the same name. The LEGO sets released for this system include a great set called the Pirate Tank. This set is very much unique to all other Star Wars LEGO Sets as it doesn’t really have anything to do with either the Republic or the Seperatists. The Pirate pillage the galaxy with no preference.
