Episode II covers Attack of the Clones, released in 2002. Its first sets brought the clone troopers, Jango Fett and the Geonosians into LEGO, and 7163 Republic Gunship was the large set of the year.
2003 LEGO Sets
2003 brought challenges but also key innovations that shaped LEGO’s revival. Realistic skin tones were introduced for licensed themes, while yellow remained standard for original ones. Clikits, Designer, and expanded Sports lines reflected diversification efforts, and 4 Juniors replaced Jack Stone for younger builders. World City modernized the classic Town setting. Though financially turbulent, LEGO’s design experimentation and new audience focus paved the way for its recovery.
