Lego has a new round of Star Wars sets that work with the Smart Brick

Lego unveiled its Smart Play system at CES 2026 earlier this month, with a selection of sets designed for the engaging feature. Now, the toy company has announced five new compatible sets — all Stars Wars themed — available now for pre-order. Anthony Daniels, the original C-3PO, shared the news during the Nuremberg Toy Fair. 

The Smart Play system, Lego’s newest venture, involves a Smart Brick, Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures. Each Smart Brick has proximity sensors, an accelerometer, a speaker and more. The Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures relay what’s happening to the Brick. For example, if you whoosh a spaceship through the air, the Smart Brick should make a sound that imitates that. Vader, of course, also makes his deep breathing sound. Plus, it requires no screens or apps, so the fun remains in its true, tactical form. 

The five new Smart Play sets span the Star Wars universe: 

  • Luke’s Landspeeder with 215 pieces ($40)

  • AT-ST Attach on Endor with 347 pieces ($50)

  • Yoda’s Hut and Jedi Training with 440 pieces ($70)

  • Mos Eisley Cantina with 666 pieces ($80)

  • Millennium Falcon with 885 pieces ($100)

These sets join three initially announced Star Wars Smart Play ones: Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter ($70), Luke’s Red Five X-Wing ($90) and Throne Room Duel & A-Wing ($150). However, these three are “all-in-one” sets, meaning they come with the Smart Bricks. The newly announced options don’t come with a Smart Brick, requiring an extra purchase, but will have the Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures that will know what to do. 

All of the Smart Play Star Wars sets are available to pre-order as of today. They should be available starting March 1.
