Lego announces huge Star Wars set for October 1st
By Josh Hill
Lego has announced a huge Star Wars set that will drop on October 1st, and we can’t wait to find out what it is.
Star Wars and Lego have become one of the most popular pop culture duos we’ve ever seen. Since joining forces, the relationship has helped — to a certain degree — revive both Lego and Star Wars, and fans of both couldn’t be happier.
With the release of Star Wars The Last Jedi around the corner, Lego sets for the film are starting to leak all over the place. But Lego has an even bigger Star Wars set to reveal, and its playing coy with showing us too much too early.
On Wednesday, Lego released a teaser trailer for a new set that is going to drop on October 1st.
Here’s the teaser, which reveals absolutely nothing about what the set is:
Despite showing us virtually nothing, we’re still super hyped for the release.
The question everyone is wondering now is what the set could be. A few things seem a bit off about this — and not necessarily in a bad way. First thing: the release date of October 1st doesn’t jive with when all the other The Last Jedi merch is hitting store shelves. Force Friday, as it is known, is in September. Does that mean this set isn’t part of the Last Jedi and is a general Star Wars set?
Perhaps it’s just so massive that Lucasfilm and Disney don’t want to spoil things too early. But if that’s the case why release it two months in advance of the film — what does that extra month buy anyone?
The most logical reason is likely that this is such a tentpole set that it deserves its own rollout. There will be tons of Lego sets released on Force Friday, and this set would just get lumped in with the rest.
We don’t know what the set is, but we can’t wait to find out.
