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.
2008 LEGO Sets
2008 celebrated two milestones: the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick and the 30th anniversary of the minifigure. LEGO Cuusoo (later LEGO Ideas) launched in Japan, paving the way for fan-designed sets. Indiana Jones joined Star Wars as LEGO’s second Lucasfilm theme, and Speed Racer appeared briefly alongside it. In-house lines included Agents and the debut of LEGO Architecture, aimed at adult collectors. The Green Grocer (10185) further elevated the Modular Buildings line, confirming its status among LEGO’s most prestigious collections.
