Episode III covers Revenge of the Sith, the last of the prequel films, released in 2005. Its first wave came out that spring, the same season as LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, which retold the prequels in bricks and took the theme far beyond the toy shelf. The wave included 7251 Darth Vader Transformation, the scene on the medical table where Anakin first wears the suit.
2006 LEGO Sets
2006 was a year of creative resurgence, adding major themes while closing older ones. LEGO Batman debuted as the first full DC Comics collaboration, joined by Avatar: The Last Airbender, Exo-Force, and SpongeBob SquarePants. LEGO Mindstorms NXT modernized the robotics platform with sensors and wireless control, and Remote Control Trains replaced the 9V system. Vikings and Clikits ended, while standout collector sets such as the Technic Tow Truck (8285) and Boeing 787 Dreamliner (10177) strengthened LEGO’s appeal among adult fans.
