Lego is still one of the best loved toys among young youngsters, exploiting a classic designed which has worked for years while also incorporating elements from modern popular culture. By miles the most popular Lego series lately has been the range of Lego Star Wars sets, the success of which has even spawned Nintendo game releases.

The size of the Star Wars saga universe means that there is almost unlimited scope for Lego models, with tons of different vehicles, characters and settings to select from. Lots of the most popular Lego Star Wars models are based on spaceships such as the Millennium Falcon or the X-Wing. Many of these models feature missile firing gadgetry, retractable landing gear and other sophisticated parts, so you can stage your own dogfights between whatever vehicles you select. Some Lego models even feature motorization, such as the Walking AT-AT.

Almost each Star Wars film or series is represented in the Lego Star Wars series, including the original and prequel trilogies, and the more current Clone Wars Television series. All of the major characters are available in Lego form, either included with sets or available to buy individually. They can be placed within Star Wars vehicles or used in sets like Jabba's Palace or the Mos Eisley Cantina.

The Lego Star Wars Nintendo games form an ideal complement to these Lego sets, allowing you to battle your way thru the complete franchise with Lego themed characters, but low in the hands-on aspect of the bricks and studs.

The number of Lego Star Wars sets available means you are going to be able to find something needing as  little or as much involvement as you like, from the relatively simple V-Wing to the huge 800-piece Clone Turbo Tank. Lego Star Wars is perfect for fans of the franchise who want to take command of the stories themselves, and even film their own Lego Star Wars films,  and it's also a great way way to introduce kids to the joys of Lego, using the Star Wars characters they know and love.
