Every Confirmed LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary Minifigure (& Where To Buy Them)
LEGO is releasing bonus 25th-anniversary Star Wars minifigures spanning the entire galaxy far, far away. Here’s every confirmed figure (so far).
Shared by LEGO, the video takes viewers through various eras of the galaxy, from the iconic podracing scene in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace to Luke’s training on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back and beyond. Characters from all Star Wars eras, including Cal Kestis of the Jedi video games, Din Djarin and Grogu of The Mandalorian, and even the High Republic Jedi younglings of Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures, cross paths in the most fun way. At the end, the characters take a group photo, bringing all these different eras together perfectly.
LEGO Star Wars’ Multiverse Is Awesome
LEGO Star Wars’ Separation From Canon Gives It Some Incredible Freedom
LEGO Star Wars has never shied away from fun such as this, a Star Wars multiverse where characters such as Cal Kestis and Ezra Bridger can actually meet and have an interaction. One of the best examples of this is in the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, when three different versions of Obi-Wan Kenobi say “Hello there” to one another. This is all made possible by LEGO’s place outside of canon, which enables such creative freedom in videos, games, and movies like this one.
In a franchise where maintaining canon is extremely important, it’s always nice to relax with something like LEGO Star Wars.
This is one of the biggest reasons why LEGO Star Wars has become such an integral part of the Star Wars fandom experience, most notably in its video games. Many enthusiasts grew up playing LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, which at the time was composed of LEGO versions of the prequel and original trilogy movies. Now, it has since been enhanced with LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, which includes the sequel trilogy and character packs from Disney+ TV shows such as The Mandalorian and Star Wars: The Bad Batch – further increasing its iconic and beloved legacy.
In a franchise where maintaining canon is extremely important, it’s always nice to relax with something like LEGO Star Wars, which can simply exist and create fun character moments like it does in this multiversal team-up. Only in LEGO Star Wars can Han Solo, Chewbacca, Rey, and Finn fly over Din Djarin and Grogu in the Millennium Falcon, which is exactly what has made LEGO Star Wars the wonderful addition to the galaxy that it is. This Star Wars video is simply a highlight reel of all those moments over the past 25 years, with hopefully many more to come.
All Star Wars movies and TV shows are available to stream on Disney+
