1999 LEGO Sets
In 1999, LEGO entered a new era with the launch of its first-ever licensed theme: LEGO Star Wars, in collaboration with Lucasfilm. Released alongside Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, this partnership introduced LEGO sets based on iconic characters, vehicles, and locations from the Star Wars universe. The success of LEGO Star Wars marked the beginning of LEGO’s expansion into licensed properties, a trend that would define the company’s future.
