<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:bwingohyeah.jpeg|right|thumb|250px|6208 B-Wing Fighter [[Lego]] set from 2004 and the second Death Star in the background.]] -->'''Lego Star Wars''' is a [[Lego]] [[List of Lego themes|theme]] which incorporates the [[Star Wars]] saga. The first Lego ''Star Wars,'' released in 1999, included model 7140, the first Lego [[X-wing|X-Wing]]. The first few sets based on the [[original trilogy]] were released in 1999, coinciding with the release of ''[[Star Wars Episode I|The Phantom Menace]]''. Sets based on the [[Prequel trilogy (Star Wars)|prequel trilogy]] (Episodes I to III) of ''Star Wars'' would follow, starting with [[Star Wars Episode I| Episode I]]. As each new film in the prequel trilogy neared its release date, Lego issued new models of ships and scenes in those films, as well as additional sets from the original trilogy. Originally it was only licensed from 1999&ndash;2008, but the [[Lego Group]] recently extended the license with [[Lucasfilm|Lucasfilm Ltd.]] to 2011. <ref>[http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2006_Feb_11/ai_n16060872 The Force is With the LEGO Brand Until 2011] ''Findarticles.com''.

== Ultimate Collector Series ==
{{/boxend}}
In addition to the regular minifigure-scale sets, Lego has released a smaller number for the Ultimate Collector Series (UCS). These models are considerably larger and more detailed and are meant for display purposes, and as such, cost more than regular Lego sets. Included in each one is a collector's card and, in many cases, a display stand. On October 1, 2007, the Lego Group released a UCS version of the Millennium Falcon, complete with 5 minifigures. At 5195 pieces it is the largest Lego Star Wars set ever released.

== Video games ==

There have been three Lego Star Wars video games:

*[[Lego Star Wars: The Video Game]] (2005)
*[[Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy]] (2006)
*[[Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga]] (2007)

''[[Lego Star Wars: The Video Game]]'' was released in 2005, shortly before the release of ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]''. ''[[Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy]]'' (2006) was released in tandem with Lucasarts' DVD release of the unaltered theatrical editions of the original trilogy. The games were [[platform games]] wherein the player took the role of characters from the films, in minifigure form, and had to collect Lego items (such as studs and bricks). Whilst doing this the player must also fight off advancing hordes of Lego characters and reach the end of the level. The games were released on all major platforms of the day, including [[Microsoft]]'s [[Xbox]], [[Sony]]'s [[PlayStation 2]], [[Nintendo]]'s [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] and [[personal computer]]s running [[Microsoft Windows]]. Both games were commercial and critical successes. Due to the success of the last two games, a [[Wii]], [[Xbox 360]], [[PlayStation 3]], and [[Nintendo DS]] port of both games titled ''[[Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga]]'' has been released.

==Online comic strip==
Comic book artist [[Greg Hyland]], better known for his series [[Lethargic Lad]] and the comics on the back of [[Lego Batman]] set boxes, produces an online comic strip based on the ''Lego Star Wars'' toyline and video games <ref>[http://www.fbtb.net/index.asp?feature=greg&comic=c1 From Bricks to Bothans - The LEGO Star Wars Experience - Greg's Comics!] ''FBTB.net''. URL Accessed on [[26 November]], [[2006]]</ref>. The comics are largely satirical looks at flaws in certain sets, or spoofs of Lego characteristics as to how these would fit into the actual Star Wars universe. References and comparisons to other Lego themes are often made as well, for comedic effect.

==Magnets==
Magnets released were
* M228 - Yoda Magnet Set
* M229 - Darth Vader Magnet Set
* 851939 - Stormtrooper, Rebel Pilot Y-Wing, Imperial AT-ST Pilot Magnet Set (30th anniversary special edition)
* 852085 - Boba Fett, Leia, Royal Guard Magnet Set (30th anniversary special edition)
* 4269242 - Chewbacca, Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi Magnet Set
* 4508087 - Stormtrooper, Rebel Pilot Y-Wing, Imperial AT-ST Pilot Magnet Set (30th anniversary special edition)
* 4508133 - Boba Fett, Leia, Royal Guard Magnet Set (30th anniversary special edition)
* 4524535 - Anakin Skywalker (Young), Darth Maul, Naboo Fighter Pilot (30th anniversary special edition)

==Pens==
Pens released were
* 4271170 - Yoda [[Carabiner]] Pen
* 4271174 - R2-D2 [[Carabiner]] Pen
