If you are a fan of wither Star Wars or Lego then you are aware of the popularity of Star Wars Lego. Apart from the fact that it is a merging of two huge properties it is also certainly cool to see the locations, ships and characters of Star Wars come to life in Lego.
In 2009 Lego famous 10 years of making sets based colse to the Star Wars franchise and one year later, we take this opportunity to look back at the sets that are plainly too cool to pass up, no matter how old you are.

The big daddy of Star Wars Lego sets, both in minifigure count and basic coolness is set 10188, The Death Star. Released in 2008 and with a heavy total of 24 figures, including multiples of the main characters in different costumes this set is how all playsets should be made. With 3800 pieces and measuring Death Star measures 16'(41cm) tall and 16'½'(42cm) wide. It is a 360 diorama with rooms on each side representing different landmark moments in the traditional trilogy including the trash compactor from A New Hope and the Final Battle in the middle of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in the Emperor's Throne Room. At 9 get it now before it blows out on the secondary market.
Speaking of blowing out on the secondary market, chasing down the Cloud City set now is going to set you back just under 00. an additional one Star Wars playset it comes in at 705 pieces and features 7 rather hard to find figures. With an open layout it depicts the assorted leading moments in the Empire Strikes Back finale, set on Bespin, otherwise known as Cloud City. It is a cool set that has many play features and makes a cool display piece.
The Ucs Millennium Falcon is the biggest Star Wars Lego set produced so far at 5195 pieces. It was the first Ucs publish to highlight minifigures and fans appreciated the potential to use it as a playset, on the face at least. Inside there is not much to speak of, due to the restraints put on the layout by manufacture requirements of such a large and flat ship. Despite this small grip it remains one of the most beloved sets with fans.
The At-At has always been a favourite manufacture for Star Wars fans. Few traditional fans can forget that moment in the darkened theatre when these All Terrain assault Transports walked out of the Hoth snowscape in The Empire Strikes Back. Lego has produced a whole of versions of the At-At but the most beloved has to be their motorized version. Purists will baulk at this suggestion but it is a very fun set and making the vehicle walk by itself for the first time is s sight to behold.
Other beloved models contain Jabba's Sail Barge (set 6210) which has approximately all the major characters including rare figures Lando and Boba Fett in one place (just missing Chewbacca and C3Po). A similar character set exists in the Battle Of Endor (Set 8038) which is beloved kids with because of its assorted elements and collectors because of the cool ewoks.
The sets above just skim the face of the cool sets released over the last 10 years and hopefully, with the Star Wars franchise still going strong, Lego will continue its great connection with the galaxy far, far away.
