Lego Star Wars is a Lego theme which incorporates the Star Wars saga. The first Lego Star Wars, released in 1999, included model 7140, the first Lego X-Wing. Star Wars was the first intellectual property to be licensed in Lego Group history. The first few sets based on the original trilogy were released in 1999, coinciding with the release of The Phantom Menace. Sets based on the prequel trilogy (Episodes I to III) of Star Wars would follow, starting with 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 1999–2008, but the Lego Group recently extended the license with Lucasfilm Ltd. to 2011. [1] The brand has spawned three major video game releases, developed by Traveller’s Tales. Lego has announced new models to coincide with The Clone Wars, to be released in 2009. Three video games based on the Lego Star Wars sets and the Star Wars films have been released—Lego Star Wars: The Video Game (2005), Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (2006), and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (2007).
Sets
Many sets have been released for all seven films.
Ultimate Collector Series
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 was 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)

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 [2]. 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.
