Star War LEGO - The History

Legend says that the children of George Lucas, big LEGO fans, requested the Star Wars LEGO license. Legend also states that Lucas defers to his children's judgement on the suitability of these licensed sets, as well as their adherance to LucasArts standards.

7663: Sith Infiltrtor

The Star Wars LEGO license was launched in 1999 with the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. LEGO has released new sets with each subsequent prequel, as well as sets based on the Classic Trilogy. The first sets were generally well-received, but some fans complained about the poor design of some vehicles, as well as the absence of enough unique minifigs (and far too many Qui-Gon and Jar Jar minifigs).

10143: Death Star 2

Whether in response to these criticisms or not, LEGO has since released several redesigned sets, including the improved X-wing Fighter and Boba Fett's Slave I. New sets also include a wider variety of minifigs. ( Jake McKee has stated that fan input was considered when designing the Sandcrawler (10144) set, which includes nine minifigs.)

6212: X-Wing Fighter

However, a highly controversial change occurred when LEGO changed the skin-tone of minifigs in licensed themes, including Star Wars (as well as Spider-Man and Harry Potter). While non-licensed sets continue to include minifigs with traditional yellow heads and hands, all licensed themes now include minifigs whose skin tones match those of the actors portraying them.

Star Wars Minifigs

In other words, Han Solo and Anakin Skywalker now have pinkish heads and hands, while Mace Windu has a brown head and hands. The "flesh-tone controversy" occurred at the same time that LEGO also changed the hue of brown and gray bricks.

The Star Wars LEGO license has been renewed. The new date for it's expiration is 2011.

Happy Birthday, LEGO!!!

It began with wooden toys...

In the early 1930s the world was in the grip of an economic depression. Ole Kirk Christiansen (Founder) felt its effects in his carpentry business – there was less and less work for him as house building stagnated. He looked around for other ways of earning a living. One was to make wooden toys – the year was 1932, and his toy business had started.

And the storie with the little bricks started ;) This year - on August 10 - the LEGO Company is celebrating his 75th birthday. (You can read the official press release about it here)

I wish you LEGO all the best! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :o)
