LEGO BrickLink Series 6 set shows true potential of LEGO Star Wars UCS Ewok Village

Following the LEGO BrickLink Designer Program Series 6 set finalists, one entry has caught our eye for an upgrade to 10236 Ewok Village.

LEGO Star Wars has yet to (properly) return to the Ewok Village on the forest moon of Endor following 10236 Ewok Village in 2013 as Ultimate Collector Series playsets may be taking a backseat in the LEGO Star Wars collection. After an odd reference to this set in the 2023 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, there is currently no sign of a major return to the forest moon, at least not officially.

Outside of LEGO Star Wars, Piece_On_Earth’s BrickLink Designer Program Series 6 set – Sequoia Tree Trail – seems perfect for a second attempt at a UCS LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village. The impressive model is much more imposing than 10236 Ewok Village thanks to the more accurate trees and we can only hope that these builds are sufficiently sturdy.

The pair of thick, towering trees uses 3,035 pieces including a sizable base, a building and more trees and accessories. Switching out some of these builds and expanding the piece count would likely be enough for a more impressive Ewok Village. That’s not to say that many will be picking up the fan-designed set to modify it accordingly though.

Instead, we can only hope that the sequoia set is received well when crowdfunding starts in October 2025 to inspire the LEGO Star Wars team to pursue a more accurate Ewok Village model in the future. What’s more, these are the same species of trees that inspired the hulking Endorian trees in the original trilogy.

Piece_On_Earth’s journey in the world of official LEGO sets may just be starting out after their first attempt at becoming a LEGO Ideas fan designer with this same project, but their future should inspire the LEGO Star Wars team to give the forest moon a second chance in the UCS collection.

LEGO has been a part of my life ever since I was young. It all started when my brother passed down 7657 AT-ST to me. It’s guided me through my early years, through school and eventually through my degree in journalism. I still have all my collection proudly on display, including my many NINJAGO sets, my favourite of all the LEGO Group’s themes. Outside of Brick Fanatics I am an avid gamer and enjoy a good game of Dungeons & Dragons.
