LEGO Star Wars, The Clone Wars is one of the subthemes of the Star Wars theme and was released in 2008 to coincide with the release of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film and TV series. The Clone Wars sets recreate various vehicles, characters, and locations from the Star Wars universe in which the Clone Wars existed. The Clone Wars was a conflict fought between the Confederacy of Independent systems known as the Separatists, and the galaxy-governing Galactic Republic for control of the galaxy.
2011 LEGO Sets
2011 introduced Ninjago, which quickly became one of LEGO’s most successful original themes and the foundation of a long-running multimedia franchise. Other launches included Pirates of the Caribbean, coinciding with Disney’s On Stranger Tides, the sci-fi Alien Conquest, and Master Builder Academy, a design-focused building program. LEGO also experimented with digital-physical integration through Life of George, an early augmented reality experience. Collectible Minifigures Series 3–5 strengthened LEGO’s growing collector market, while internal employee-exclusive sets like Moulding Machines became prized rarities. Several themes concluded this year, including Harry Potter, Ben 10, Power Miners, Toy Story, Prince of Persia, Space Police III, and BrickMaster.
