One of the most feared ships in the Star Wars™ galaxy is flying into LEGO Stores on September 18 as the LEGO Star Wars™ Imperial Star Destroyer™ set arrives from the galaxy far, far away to provide an all-new build experience for LEGO brick and Star Wars™ fans alike. LEGO Group announces a new stunning LEGO Star Wars set – the Ultimate Collector Series Imperial Star Destroyer measuring 110cm in length they are both exclusive to this set.īUILD THE MIGHT OF THE GALACTIC EMPIRE™ WITH THE NEW LEGO® STAR WARS™ IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYER™ SET We also get two Minifigures: an Imperial Officer and Imperial Crew Member. The ship features the plaque, giving details of the ship, as well as a scale model of the Tantive IV (released as a playset style model in May this year). It was here that spies for the Rebellion had stolen the plans for the Death Star. The Imperial Star Destroyer Devastator was under the command of Darth Vader, and (as has now been revealed) had pursued the Tantive IV from the Battle of Scarif. If only we appreciated that total scale of the story to follow at that time as we do now. This was a massive vehicle – starting off a massive story, that still continues, over 40 years later. Revealling the absolutely massive scale that we were dealing with here. Successful in its mission, it hovered over the Tantive, and took it into its hold. It was shooting to disable the first ship – later identified as the Tantive IV (I first heard this name in 1980, on the NPR radio play). But this was followed by another: bigger, more greebling than we had everseen before, and associated with a low, sub woofer grumble (although, technically, subwoofers weren’t much of a thing in the cinemas in 1978). A ship, that looks bigger and more detailed than anything I had seen before. I knew what was going to happen, on an intellectual level.

And now I was seeing it for the first time. I’d read every book and magazine article I could. I was attending a matinee screening of Star Wars (in those days, there was only one) with friends for my birthday.
