LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary build: 75262 Imperial Drop Ship

With the new LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition sets released this week, Brick Fanatics continues the micro approach, shrinking down 75262 Imperial Drop Ship

This year marks 20 years since LEGO Star Wars first combined the brick with the Force, with the theme becoming one of the LEGO Group’s greatest success stories. To commemorate the occasion, five sets have been released with exclusive minifigures in special retro boxes. Each day this week, Brick Fanatics will provide instructions to build a micro version of one of the new 20th Anniversary Edition sets.

75262 Imperial Dropship – 20th Anniversary Edition

Out of all the 20th anniversary sets I was tasked with shrinking down to micro scale, this is the one that gave me the biggest headache. It is just such an oddly shaped ship that I found it very tricky to get right.

If building this yourself, just bear in mind that the ridge where the trans-clear 1×1 slope meets the dark bluish grey 1×1 slope is intentional. The larger 75262 Imperial Dropship – 20th Anniversary Edition shares a similar design.

As with the Clone Scout Walker I designed a very simple base to help display the Dropship but this is an optional bonus.

Come back each day this week for a new LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition micro build.

I have more than 20 years in television production and photography and can finally put all that experience to good use by combining it with my number one passion in life, LEGO! I love all things brick-related, but the theme that really floats my boat is the original LEGO Pirates range. I currently have a LEGO wishlist that far outstretches my shelf space... and bank balance!
