Today at San Diego Comic-Con 2023, LEGO dropped three new LEGO Star Wars sets that will be on display at the LEGO Brickbuster booth (Booth #2829) to all con attendees. Fans not attending the convention can pre-order the sets before their September 1, 2023, release date by visiting LEGO.com.
The new sets are tied to the upcoming Lucasfilm series Star Wars: Ahsoka, starring Rosario Dawson as the titular character, arriving on Disney+ on August 23, 2023. Set after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka follows the former Jedi knight Ahsoka as she investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy. Ahead of the show’s release, the family-owned LEGO Group introduced two new LEGO brick-built starships inviting fans to join Ahsoka – warrior, outcast, and rebel – on her adventures around the galaxy, as well as a Chewbacca display model.
“We’re so excited to bring these three notable products to the LEGO Star Wars range,” commented Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, Design Lead for LEGO Star Wars. “The new Star Wars: Ahsoka series is a major development within the Star Wars series, and we absolutely loved bringing these exciting vessels to life in LEGO brick form. We can’t wait for fans to begin on their latest adventure by building these fantastic sets, immersing themselves in the latest epic story from the Galaxy Far, Far Away.”
Star Wars: Ahsoka sets
LEGO is introducing Ahsoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle building set ($80), based on the ship that appears at the end of Star Wars: Rebels when Ahsoka picks up Sabine Wren on Lothal to search for Ezra Bridger. The set comes with mini-figures of Ahsoka, Sabine, Professor Huyang, and Marrok, the new and mysterious Inquisitor seen in the trailers for the show.
The other LEGO Star Wars set related to the upcoming Ahsoka series is the New Republic E-Wing™ vs. Shin Hati’s Starfighter™ building set ($110). It comes with some exciting mini-figures, giving fans a Bob the Builder look at what some of the show’s characters will look like, including Morgan Elsbeth, Baylan Skoll, Shin Hati, and Captain Porter. There is also a mini-figure for a New Republic Astromech.
The two Ahsoka products join the Ghost & Phantom II ($160) building set, revealed on July 9. The set has mini-figures of General Hera Syndulla, Lt. Beyta, First Officer Hawkins, Jacen Syndulla, and Chopper (C1-10P).
Chewbacca set
At SDCC 2023, LEGO is also introducing a brick-built display model of everyone’s favorite Wookiee, Chewbacca™ ($200), giving adults a one-of-a-kind build and display opportunity. The model stands over two feet tall.
