“Create hundreds of your own droids with three levels of challenge: Jedi apprentice, Jedi Knight, or Jedi Master. Use the "Micro Scout" Lego microcomputer for the brain of your droids. Use the built-in light sensor, motor and sound to bring your droids to life. Create... More familiar Star Wars droids like R2-D2 or use the Force to create droids of your own.”
Brickset
“It was a great idea for LEGO to use their new Star Wars license with the robot, or droid building of Mindstorms. And it was also a good way to introduce younger builders to LEGO Mindstorms. Though for older builders, it's best as an expansion for the Robotics Invention... More System. Getting it now isn't necessary, but for younger builders who want to build robots and likes Star Wars, it's perfect.”

About Mindstorms Star Wars

Mindstorms Star Wars joined LEGO's robotics to the Star Wars universe with two kits, 9748 Droid Developer Kit in 1999 and 9754 Dark Side Developer Kit in 2000. Builders made droids and machines from the films and programmed how they moved, and the best known build is a version of R2-D2 from the first kit.

Bring droids to life with the powerful Micro Scout — No computer programming required!

Build and program R2-D2 and L-3GO droids using step-by-step building instructions and guided help from the CD-ROM. Next, create nine snap-on assemblies with step-by-step instructions on the CD-ROM. Then use the building tips to construct even more complex droids. Next we give you partial building instructions for master level droids like a battle droid and a Gungan sub - but then you're on your own. Includes the Micro Scout with a built in light sensor, motor and seven built-in programs. Each droid can be built separately using the same pieces. PC only required for CD-ROM building instructions. Requires 2AA batteries (not included).
