Seven key takeaways from the LEGO Star Wars 2024 rumours
The first list of rumoured LEGO Star Wars sets for 2024 is full of tantalising titbits for the long-running theme, so here are seven key takeaways from everything we know so far.
We’ve only just reached August, but already reports are starting to surface of what to expect from the entire first half of 2024 across the LEGO Star Wars theme. The first list of sets from Promobricks encompasses a battle pack, playsets, midi-scale vehicles, dioramas, an Ultimate Collector Series model and more – which feels like par for the course for the range at this point.
But within the finer details of what’s been rumoured so far are a handful of interesting takeaways, from the return of long-forgotten minifigures to our first-ever set based on a pivotal prequel trilogy moment.
7 – Long-forgotten minifigures are making a comeback
Remember Super Battle Droids? The LEGO Group apparently has at long last, as the B2s (not to be confused with the B-52’s) are reportedly returning in 75372 Clone vs Droid Battle Pack. The 215-piece set is rumoured to retail for €29.99 with 215 pieces in the box – and up to 10 minifigures, at least one of which will apparently be a Super Battle Droid.
The B2 hasn’t been seen in LEGO since 2015, with the mould long thought retired, so we could be looking at a redesign for the CIS soldier.
6 – LEGO hasn’t forgotten The Phantom Menace’s 25th anniversary
Next year marks the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace (yes, we are all terribly old), and the LEGO Group will apparently mark the occasion with at least two sets: 75380 Boonta Eve Podrace Diorama and 75381 Droideka. The former will likely be microscale (matching 75329 Death Star Trench Run Diorama) at €69.99, while the latter is shaping up to be a solid buildable character at €59.99.
It would be neat to see a printed commemorative plaque, too, matching the Return of the Jedi 40th anniversary plaque in 2023 sets.
5 – The LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection is complete…
Notable by their absence in the rumoured list of sets are LEGO Star Wars helmets, suggesting the subtheme has wrapped up with this year’s 75349 Captain Rex Helmet and 75350 Clone Commander Cody Helmet. That will be much to the dismay of anyone still holding out for characters like Kylo Ren, a Royal Guard, C-3PO and Bo-Katan.
4 – …but the Midi-Scale Collection is just beginning
The good news is that the LEGO Group has seemingly already found its replacement for the helmets, building on the success of this year’s 75356 Executor Super Star Destroyer. That midi-scale set has apparently opened the doors to two more displayable vehicles in 2024, in 75375 Millennium Falcon and 75376 Tantive IV. Expect details galore, black display stands and printed name plates.
3 – LEGO is going big for Skeleton Crew
The LEGO Group is going all-in on this month’s Star Wars: Ahsoka, with three new sets debuting for the Disney+ series on September 1. But it’s rumoured to be going big in a different way for the upcoming Jude Law-fronted Skeleton Crew, which arrives on the streaming platform later this year. 75374 is said to recreate a ship from the new series with 1,325 pieces, retailing for a considerable €139.99.
2 – We could be getting our first Order 66 set
For perhaps understandable reasons, the LEGO Group has spent the past 18 years skirting around the subject of Order 66. The galaxy-wide slaughter of the Jedi doesn’t make for very kid-friendly LEGO sets, after all – but it sounds like The Mandalorian could finally have given us an avenue for our first LEGO Star Wars Order 66 set, in the form of 75378 Grogu’s Escape.
The €29.99 set will apparently focus on Ahmed Best’s Kelleran Beq rescuing Grogu from the Jedi Temple in The Mandalorian Season 3, and for the price tag will likely include both of those characters, a BARC speeder bike and potentially a Clone Trooper or two. It’s not quite a full Jedi Temple diorama, but it’s probably as close as we’re going to get.
1 – LEGO Star Wars is as fragmented as ever
Even as the LEGO Star Wars theme takes a step back from the Helmet Collection, it’s clear to see that it’s as fragmented as ever. Or to put it another way, depending on your perspective: as varied as ever. The current list of LEGO Star Wars 2024 sets includes just three standard play-scale sets – one of which is a battle pack – with the remainder comprised of a UCS set, dioramas, buildable characters, midi-scale ships and a 4+ set.
Variety has long been the order of the day in the LEGO Star Wars line-up, across both subject matter and set format, as the LEGO Group and Lucasfilm attempt to deliver something for everyone. There’s nothing here to suggest that strategy will change for 2024.

Remember, all rumours should be taken with a grain of salt until we get official confirmation from the LEGO Group – and considering how far out we are from the launch of any of these sets, we’re probably going to be waiting a while.

- I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
