It’s the merging of two things we truly love: Star Wars and LEGO. The two mega-brands have been translating all the characters, ships, settings, and oh so many lightsabers that we all adore into very satisfying interlocking brick form for 15 years now. And with the success of this partnership, and the huge amount of new Star Wars movie and TV material on the horizon, it seems safe to expect many more fruitful years for this duo.

So let’s take a look at some of our favorites from the world of Star Wars LEGO. These are IGN’s 5 Coolest Star Wars LEGO Sets!I mean, isn’t this what we always dreamed of? An actual walking AT-AT?! At 1137 pieces, it's not the biggest LEGO set out there, but it is motorized which allows for the aforementioned walking (and presumable devastation of the Rebels’ Echo base that follows). And still, despite the (relatively) low piece count, this thing really does nail the look of the fearsome but so cool Imperial Walker. Throw in an AT-AT Pilot, a stone-cold General Veers, a disposable snowtrooper, and of course Luke Skywalker (have grappling line, will travel), and it’s like you’re on Hoth all over again.Much like its movie counterpart, the Super Star Destroyer is big. At 3,152 pieces, its price tag is also pretty heavy these days: Though it retailed at around $400 when it was released in 2011, a search today on eBay or Amazon puts this baby more in the $700-$1,000 range. But hey, this is Darth Vader’s ship after all! It’s almost 50 inches long and weighs in at nearly eight pounds, and it comes with a Vader figure who can be unmasked to reveal his chalk white, scarred face, plus minis of Admiral Piett and the bounty hunters Bossk, IG-88, and... wait for it... Dengar!When you think “cool Star Wars vehicles,” typically the first thing to come to mind is not the Jawas’ Sandcrawler. And yet, here we are. This is a new set which just hit this year, and is not to be confused with the LEGO Sandcrawler from 2005, a piece which looked great but didn’t have as much playability. Not only do you get a really nice looking set here, but there’s lots of functionality for maximum playtime once you’ve put it together. Whether you can abide those Jawas or not (disgusting creatures!), this is a great LEGO set.Look, there are a lot of excellent Star Wars LEGO sets, and there are a lot of excellent Star Wars spaceship LEGO sets. But in the end, you gotta go with the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon! There have actually been about seven different LEGO takes on the Corellian freighter, but the Ultimate Collector's set from 2007 and its 5100-plus pieces takes the prize. It also cost $500 at that time, which makes it the most expensive Lego set (in retail) ever.There are actually two (full size) LEGO Death Star sets, both of which are huge and terrifying as only Death Stars can be… well, terrifying in that how-am-I-gonna-put-together-this-3,000-piece-set way. The Death Star II set is great, but the second set that followed in 2008, simply called Death Star, actually has more pieces (3,803) and more playability. Based on the battle station from both A New Hope and Return of the Jedi, it features, count ‘em, 24 minifigures and droids, and allows users to reenact just about any Death Star scene from either of those movies. Impressive, most impressive.What are your favorite Star Wars LEGO sets? Let’s discuss in the comments!
