What matters most?
At BrickStories, we build with feeling. Our 2026 Star Wars ranking isn't just about piece counts or price-per-part ratios — it's about the sets that made our hearts beat faster when we opened the box, the builds that transported us back to the moment we first watched the opening crawl, and the characters we've loved for decades. Grogu is our absolute favourite — not because of statistics, but because 1,048 pieces of the most beloved Star Wars character of the 2020s simply made us smile wider than anything else in the range. The Millennium Falcon is timeless. And Wicket the Ewok surprised us all. These are the sets we love, and we think you will too.
Our ranking of the best Star Wars sets 2026
The BrickStories 2026 heart ranking: 10 Star Wars sets chosen for the emotion they deliver, the stories they tell, and the joy they bring to our shelves.
Heart Pick 2026
Grogu with Hover Pram
We've debated this at BrickStories — and every time, we come back to Grogu. Not because of the 1,048 pieces or the £0.08/piece ratio or even the excellent secondary market history. Because when you build Din Djarin placing his hand beside the Hover Pram, when Grogu's tiny eyes look up at you from the completed set, you feel it. Joy. Pure, uncomplicated, Star-Wars-has-done-it-again joy. This is our absolute favourite of 2026.
- Pure emotional resonance — the most joyful build of 2026
- The most beloved Star Wars characters of the 2020s in one set
- Outstanding value that makes the emotional choice also the rational one
- A display piece that makes visitors smile every single time
- You will want to build it twice — once fast, once slowly, savouring every piece
- Be prepared to explain to non-fans why an 80-pound set of the green baby is "totally justified"
Our absolute favourite — the set that made BrickStories fall in love with Star Wars all over again — Grogu: 1,048 pieces of pure joy. Our 2026 heart pick. No debate.. If a set can make you smile before you've even opened the box, it's done something right. Grogu does that.
Forever Favourite
Millennium Falcon
The Millennium Falcon is not a set you choose — it's a set you return to. Every Star Wars fan who has ever felt that lump in their throat during the Kessel Run, who has ever argued about the parsec debate, who has ever loved Han Solo just a little bit more than they probably should: you know this set belongs on your shelf. The 2026 update is the most beautiful version yet.
- Timeless — the Millennium Falcon transcends "good set" and becomes "part of who you are"
- Exclusive 2026 minifigs bring fresh emotion to a familiar love
- The perfect blend of nostalgia and new content
- A display centrepiece that never stops feeling right
- You've probably already bought it. You'll buy this one too.
- Warning: may cause an overwhelming urge to rewatch the original trilogy immediately after completion
The timeless classic — the Falcon is the set that every Star Wars fan eventually comes home to — The Millennium Falcon 2026: the most emotionally resonant ship set we've ever reviewed. There is no version of "I love Star Wars" that doesn't include the Millennium Falcon on the shelf.
Surprise of 2026
Wicket the Ewok
We admit it: Wicket the Ewok was not at the top of our 2026 wishlist. Then we built it. 1,010 pieces, brown fur constructed piece by patient piece, those expressive eyes looking out from the completed set — and suddenly we were 8 years old again, watching Return of the Jedi for the first time and rooting for the Ewoks with everything we had. Wicket surprised us. He might surprise you too.
- The most emotionally surprising set of the 2026 range — Wicket earned his place
- Exceptional detail: fur built piece by piece, expressive character in every angle
- A return to Return of the Jedi that felt like visiting an old friend
- Outstanding value for a set that punches well above its emotional weight
- You'll have to explain your attachment to a brown fuzzy alien to non-fans
- Narrower character profile — but once you've built it, that won't matter
Our unexpected gem — Wicket the Ewok made us fall in love with Return of the Jedi all over again — Wicket: the set that surprised BrickStories most in 2026. We weren't expecting to love it this much.. Some sets you plan to love. Wicket is the one you didn't plan for — and loved most of all.
Mos Eisley Cantina
The Mos Eisley Cantina is where Star Wars begins to feel like an adventure. Six characters — Han Solo, Greedo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, alien cantina-goers — gathered in the most atmospheric setting in the original trilogy. This is the set for anyone who loves Star Wars as story, as world, as universe teeming with characters you'd love to know better.
- Six exclusive minifigs including the scene that launched Han Solo's legend
- The most atmospheric set in the 2026 range — you can smell the cantina jazz
- An affordable gateway to the world-building side of Star Wars collecting
- Perfect alongside the Millennium Falcon — the pre-departure and the departure
- 666 pieces — smaller than you might want for this much heart
- The scale means some scene details are suggested rather than fully realised
The adventure begins at the Cantina — Han Solo's legend in six minifigs and one iconic set — The Cantina: where the story of Star Wars truly begins, for every generation. Build it next to the Falcon. Together they tell the story of how Han Solo changed the galaxy.
New 2026
Throne Room Duel & A-Wing
If you grew up with Return of the Jedi — if you were there when Luke threw his lightsaber down and said "I am a Jedi, like my father before me" — then this set will hit you somewhere deep and true. Vader, Luke, Palpatine in the throne room where everything was decided. 962 pieces of the most emotionally charged moment in the saga.
- The emotional core of the original trilogy — the scene that changed everything

Imperial Star Destroyer
The Imperial Star Destroyer is the set that makes visitors stop talking mid-sentence. It doesn't need to be the biggest or the most complex — it needs to look like the ship that made the galaxy fear, and it does exactly that. 1,555 pieces of presence. The kind of presence that changes the mood of the room.
- The most commanding display piece in the 2026 range — presence you can feel
- The ship that defines the Empire — no Star Wars collection feels complete without it
- Technically precise and emotionally imposing in equal measure
- A set that earns its shelf space with authority
- High price (£179.99) — but the room-commanding presence justifies every pound

The ship that commands a room — the Star Destroyer is the most authoritative set we've reviewed in 2026 — The Imperial Star Destroyer: the set that makes your collection feel complete and your room feel different. You don't just display this set. You build a room around it.
C-3PO
C-3PO beside R2-D2 is a display that fills the room with warmth. His gold finish is extraordinary — LEGO has never built a more accurate C-3PO — and the miniature R2-D2 bonus at his base turns the set into a tribute to 50 years of the most beloved double act in science fiction. Own both. Display them together. Smile every time you walk past.

- Miniature R2-D2 bonus: the duo together on one base, forever

R2-D2
R2-D2 is not just a set — he's an old friend. We don't know anyone who loves Star Wars who doesn't love R2-D2, and this 1,050-piece build does him complete, total, unambiguous justice. The rotating dome, the articulated legs, the tools — every detail says "we love this character, and we built him with care." You should own this.
- The soul of the saga — R2-D2 is universal Star Wars love made tangible
- The most accurate R2-D2 in LEGO history — every detail done with love
- A build that fills you with warmth from the first piece to the last
- The set that makes your entire collection feel more complete
- The dome is so perfectly constructed you'll want to rotate it a hundred times (this is not a con)
- Warning: may cause immediate rewatching of the entire saga
The soul of the saga — R2-D2 is the old friend every collection deserves — R2-D2: 1,050 pieces of the most beloved droid in cinema. Built with love. Owned with joy.. If you've loved R2-D2 since 1977 — or since last week — this set is for you.

Chopper (C1-10P) Astromech Droid
Chopper (C1-10P) is one of the most characterful droids in the entire Star Wars universe — grumpy, loyal, occasionally terrifying, completely irreplaceable. His 1,039-piece bust is the most accurate and affectionate tribute to the beloved Rebels droid ever produced, and it sits on our shelf with a personality all its own. For the Rebels and Andor fan: this is yours.

Grogu is our absolute favourite of 2026 — and we say that without apology. There's something about opening that box, building the Pram, placing Din Djarin beside his foundling, and stepping back to look at what you've made that fills you with pure, uncomplicated joy. The Millennium Falcon is the timeless classic — the ship that has meant something to every Star Wars fan since 1977. And Wicket the Ewok is our unexpected gem — the set that proved LEGO could make you feel something for a brown Ewok in 1,010 pieces. These are our picks from the heart.
