A new Lego Millennium Falcon is on the way, featuring an exciting twist!
New Lego Smart Play sets are on the horizon, bringing some of the most iconic Star Wars elements into the mix.
After the project’s announcement earlier this year, Lego has unveiled five new additions to the Lego Smart Play lineup. Among these are the Millennium Falcon, Mos Eisley Cantina, and Yoda’s hut on Dagobah. All of these Lego Star Wars sets are currently available for preorder at the Lego store, with a launch date set for March 1, 2026.
**Luke’s Landspeeder | $39.99**
This 215-piece kit, designed for ages 6 and up, recreates young Skywalker’s ride from A New Hope. It includes a Luke Smart Minifigure and a Smart Tag for the landspeeder.
UK price: £34.99
**Yoda’s Hut and Jedi Training | $69.99**
This slightly more expensive Smart Play kit features 440 pieces, two Smart Minifigures (Yoda and Luke), and two Smart Tags for Force training and cooking, along with the Jedi Master’s home. It includes a balancing game that simulates either Luke or Yoda lifting objects with the Force.
UK price: £59.99
**AT-ST Attack on Endor | $79.99**
Initially, I didn’t realize this was a Smart Play figure when I first saw it, but it’s compatible with the technology. This set includes 347 pieces, a Wicket the Ewok Smart Minifigure, and two Smart Tags for the AT-ST and Speeder Bike.
UK price: £44.99
**Mos Eisley Cantina | $79.99**
While I have a soft spot for the new Falcon model, this Smart Play-compatible version of the bar from A New Hope really impressed me in person. It consists of 666 pieces, features two Smart Minifigures of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Greedo, and includes three Smart Tags: one for a Dewback, another for karaoke, and a final one for drink mixing. The karaoke function is particularly entertaining, and yes, it plays that theme.
UK price: £69.99
**Millennium Falcon | $99.99**
I suspect this will be the set everyone is buzzing about. It looks like a standard Falcon playset (with 885 pieces), but it can be equipped with a Smart Brick to bring it to life. It also comes with four Smart Minifigures – Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and Luke Skywalker – and features four Smart Tags representing the Falcon itself, Hyperspace, Lightsaber sounds, and a Coaxium fuel container.
UK price: £89.99
One thing to note is that none of these sets come with Smart Bricks; you’ll need to purchase one of the previously revealed models for that.
I’ve mentioned before that I believe Smart Play is set to revolutionize the experience, but I was curious about how it would actually feel in practice. After getting hands-on with the technology and the models listed above, I can confidently say it’s impressive. Instead of simply using clips from the movies, the sounds are generated organically based on the Smart Tags in use, adapting to speed and movement. For instance, if you attach a Smart Brick to Darth Vader’s ship and zoom it around, it will produce a sound modeled after the iconic TIE fighter scream, with intensity varying based on the movement. Similarly, attaching Chewie to the Cantina model will add his roars to that catchy song as he ‘sings’ along on stage (and just to clarify, none of the minifigs ‘talk’; it’s all charming gibberish, reminiscent of Simlish). This approach prevents the Smart Brick from being bogged down with pre-recorded soundbytes while allowing it to respond dynamically to different scenarios.
While it remains to be seen if Smart Play will secure a spot among the best Lego sets, I’m genuinely excited to see where it goes from here.
