2017 is a great year for LEGO Star Wars?

Yep, you heard me. Why?

Well honestly, when the 2017 Star Wars sets were revealed, I was a little disappointed. Considering that it was the 40th Anniversary of A New Hope, I had hoped that there would be more sets based on Episode IV.

Then I realized that the 40th Anniversary of ANH would mean it was the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars!

And upon taking a closer look, I noticed LEGO may actually have subtly celebrated that… with at least one set from each movie!

Check it out:

EPISODE I (THE PHANTOM MENACE):

(75169 Duel on Naboo)

EPISODE II (ATTACK OF THE CLONES): (75191 Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring)

THE CLONE WARS: (75168 Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter)

EPISODE III (REVENGE OF THE SITH): (75183 Darth Vader Transformation)

STAR WARS REBELS: (75170 The Phantom II)

ROGUE ONE:

(75160 – 75163 Microfighters, 75164 Rebel Trooper Battle Pack, 75165 Imperial Trooper Battle Pack, 75171 Battle on Scarif, Shoretrooper Promo, 75172 Y-wing Starfighter, R3-M1 Promo, 75523 Shoretrooper, 75524 Chirrut Imwe, 75525 Baze Malbus)

EPISODE IV (A NEW HOPE):

(75531 Stormtrooper Commander, 75173 Luke’s Landspeeder, Detention Block Escape)

EPISODE V (THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK): (75144 UCS Snowspeeder)

EPISODE VI (RETURN OF THE JEDI): (75532 Scout Trooper & Speeder Bike, 75175 A-wing Starfighter, 75174 Desert Skiff)

ORIGINAL LEGO MATERIAL:

(75186 The Arrowhead, 75167 Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike Battle Pack, 75185 Tracker I, 75184 Star Wars Advent Calendar)

Also, the May the 4th Polybag was one of the two characters that appeared in all the movies: R2-D2!

And finally, with rumors of a UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) becoming stronger every day, that may be the great way to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars!

So what do you think of the 2017 LEGO Star Wars wave? Do you think that LEGO has commemorated the anniversary well? Let me know in a comment below! 🙂
