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
In 2002, LEGO continued to expand its product range, though not all themes found long-term success. Star Wars remained a dominant force, celebrating the franchise’s 25th anniversary, with LEGO releasing several collectible sets such as the Imperial Star Destroyer (10030-1) and Attack of the Clones subtheme sets, coinciding with the release of Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The Western theme also contributed to the year’s investment appeal, with sets like Fort LEGOredo (6762-1) maintaining long-term collectibility.
