LEGO Studios was a theme introduced in 2000 that focused on movie-making and included sub themes such as the original Spider-Man and Jurassic Park III movies. The theme sets featured stop-motion animation to make real movies using LEGO bricks. The LEGO Director minifugure in a number of sets is based on Steven Spielberg.
2002 LEGO Sets
2002 was a mixed year of success and experimentation. Star Wars dominated with Episode II: Attack of the Clones sets and collector favorites like the Imperial Star Destroyer (10030), while the Western theme’s Fort LEGOredo (6762) gained long-term appeal. New themes included Spider-Man, Island Xtreme Stunts, and expanded Racers sets, but LEGO also faced missteps with Galidor and Spybotics—both short-lived departures from traditional building. Core themes such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Alpha Team remained strong, making 2002 a year of both breakthroughs and lessons learned.
