Lego is no longer just for kids! Star Wars fans were delighted when in 1999, the first Star Wars themed Lego set was released to coincide with The Phantom Menace movie and became one of the coolest things for fans to own. Not long after, new Lego sets started to emerge following each of the newer movies. You could build many scenes from each movie or just play with the models of the ships or Lego men characters.
Recently Lego extended it's licence with Lucas film Ltd to continue releasing sets until 2011. The sets also inspired video games based on the Star Wars Lego pieces. The most favorite sets to own would no doubt contain the spaceships and vehicles such as the Millennium Falcon and the X-Wing. Specific Lego pieces were created to accomplish the accurate look of each spacecraft.

Many of the sets have been redesigned over time, along with the ever favorite Millennium Falcon, to improve the accuracy of each model. The mini figures have also been redesigned many times, with the most inevitable being Obi-Wan Kenobi whose torso and face changed color, and the Storm troopers which have gone through three distinct helmet shapes, three distinct heads and two distinct torso colors.
There is no doubt that the vehicles were the most favorite sets, and therefore Lego went on to generate the greatest Collector's Series which included more detail and were commonly larger in size. Collectors didn't mind that they were more expensive as they often included more pieces and required more time and skill to put together.
Expanded Universe sets are in plans for the future based on the fictional background of the Star Wars universe. Most of the extensive Universe data comes from Star Wars linked books, comics, video games and other media which can take place everywhere from 25,000 years before The Phantom Menace to 137 years after Return of the Jedi, so Lego designers have a lot of background to select from.
Whether you accumulate them for fun or as a serious hobby, the Lego Star Wars sets have become favorite with both adults and children and will probably go on to supply lots of enjoyment for many years to come.
