Lego’s New 9,000-Piece ‘Star Wars’ Death Star Set Features Emperor Palpatine’s Throne Room, Princess Leia’s Detention Cell and More
Lego is going bigger than ever with its latest entry in the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series. The company unveiled the Lego Star Wars Death Star set, a staggering 9,023-piece build that now stands as the largest Lego Star Wars set to date. Designed for devoted builders and longtime franchise fans, the new set captures the Galactic Empire’s most iconic space station with a level of detail that spans across the original trilogy.
From “A New Hope” to “Return of the Jedi,” the set includes brick-built recreations of some of the saga’s most memorable sequences: the trash compactor, Emperor Palpatine’s throne room, Princess Leia’s detention cell, the tractor beam control, and even an Imperial shuttle hangar. Its compact foundation is layered vertically to create a towering display piece while still incorporating intricate play and storytelling elements—a balance of size and detail that cements it as a centerpiece for collectors.
The release marks a milestone in Lego’s long-running collaboration with Lucasfilm, further raising the stakes for fans of the brand’s high-end collector line. Lego Insiders received early access beginning Oct. 1 through lego.com and Lego Stores, with the wider launch rolling out Oct. 4. The set is expected to retail as a premier collectible in line with other Ultimate Collector Series icons, solidifying its place as one of the most ambitious Lego Star Wars builds ever released.
