The set will also come with an exclusive R2 Minifigure as well as a “special Lucasfilm 50th anniversary LEGO brick,” which is designed to be displayed alongside the 31 cm tall replica. Other “commemorative fan-favourite” Star Wars products are expected to be revealed as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations.

In other LEGO Star Wars news, the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga game was recently delayed past its Spring 2021 release window, with TT Games noting that it will “provide updated launch timing as soon as possible.” The Skywalker Saga isn’t being described as a remake of the original games, as it is a completely new game built from the ground up.
