TO ALL LEGO STAR WARS FANS ……WHAT IS LEGO STAR WARS ?
A WIKI FOR ALL OF YOU
Lego Star Wars is a Lego theme that incorporates the Star Wars saga. Originally it was only licensed from 1999–2008, but the Lego Group extended the license with Lucasfilm Ltd. multiple times: First to 2011 and then again until 2016. In 2012 another 10-year agreement was signed between the two companies.
The brand has spawned five video game releases, developed by Traveller's Tales — Lego Star Wars: The Video Game (2005), Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (2006), Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (2007), Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (2011), and Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2016). Many short films and miniseries have also been produced.

The first Lego Star Wars, released in 1999, included model 7140, the first Lego X-Wing. Star Wars was the first intellectual property to be licensed in Lego Group history. The first few sets based on the original trilogy were released in 1999, coinciding with the release of The Phantom Menace. Sets based on the prequel trilogy (Episodes 1 to 3) of Star Wars would follow, starting with Episode I. As each new film in the prequel trilogy neared its release date, Lego issued new models of ships and scenes in those films, as well as additional sets from the original trilogy. Lego also produced models based on The Clone Wars, which was released early in 2008. Sets based on The Force Awakens, Rogue One and Star Wars Rebels have also been produced.
Ultimate Collector Series
In addition to the regular minifigure-scale sets, Lego has released several sets for the Ultimate Collector Series. These models are considerably larger, more detailed, are usually meant for display purposes, and cost more than regular Lego sets. Many of them include an information plaque and often a display stand. On October 1, 2017, the Lego Group will release a second UCS version of the Millennium Falcon, complete with ten minifigures. At 7541 pieces, it is the largest Star Wars Lego set ever released; and the largest set of any collection ever commercially released. The newest Ultimate Collector Series set is the 75144 Snowspeeder. On June 5, 2015 an unopened box of the Millennium Falcon Lego set was auctioned at online auction house Catawiki for 5,000 euros, making it the most expensive LEGO set ever.
