LEGO revealed three brand-new Star Wars sets based on different ships and vehicles from the franchise.

Whenever an upcoming movie from a franchise such as Star Wars or the MCU nears its release date, LEGO sets are often released, allowing fans to construct big moments and scenes from the given film.

Sometimes, LEGO even opts to celebrate older movies from these worlds by releasing full sets from important scenes. For example, a set of the Death Star trench run in A New Hope went on sale earlier this year, alongside a set of Yoda's hut on Dagobah from The Empire Strikes Back.

LEGO recently revealed some new sets to be coming in 2023, but instead of covering a specific project or trilogy, these span across all eras of Star Wars.

New Star Wars LEGO Sets

According to Brickset, three new Star Wars LEGO sets have been officially revealed, and they're currently set to be available for purchase on January 1, 2023.

The first is Boba Fett's Starship Microfighter (75344) from The Empire Strikes Back, The Mandalorian, and The Book of Boba Fett

While there have already been sets of Fett's Starship released in the past, this one is a much smaller model, mainly aimed at children who are new collectors of LEGO products.

The set comes with 85 total pieces and will retail for $9.99 US dollars. It will also include a LEGO mini-figure of Boba Fett, who can even be placed inside the cockpit. 

The description of the product is as follows:

"Give kids a cool introduction to LEGO Star Wars building toys with Boba Fett’s Starship Microfighter (75344) for ages 6 and up. This microscale LEGO brick version of the iconic starship, as seen in the classic Star Wars saga, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, features 2 flick shooters for attacking enemy starfighters and adjustable wings for flight and landing. The included LEGO minifigure of Boba Fett, which comes with a blaster and a jetpack accessory element, fits inside the opening cockpit."

The next set is the 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack (75345) from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Will LEGO Release More Star Wars in 2023?

LEGO often releases new sets prior to the release of upcoming projects, as well as after the release to avoid giving away spoilers. Star Wars is set to have a big year in 2023, so more sets from upcoming projects can be expected to go on sale at multiple points throughout the year.

Season 2 of The Bad Batch debuts on Disney+ on January 4, 2023. Their ship, the Marauder, was previously released, but it is possible that sets from Season 2 will be revealed at a later date.

Season 3 of The Mandalorian is also premiering in early 2023, and due to the success that the show has seen over its first two seasons, it is safe to assume that there will be some sets revealed in the coming months after it has ended.

Ahsoka is another major project on Lucasfilm's 2023 slate. With how popular the character is, and the inclusion of characters such as Ezra Bridger and Grand Admiral Thrawn, LEGO could possibly reveal multiple sets from the upcoming show.
