LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars

The three-year, galaxy-spanning Star Wars conflict known as the Clone Wars has produced a ton of tie-in material over the years, including quite a few LEGO Star Wars sets.

It’s hard to believe that the idea of Star Wars’ Clone Wars era originated as a throwaway line in the first film from 1977. Since the 2000s, Lucasfilm has truly capitalized on the war, delivering cartoons, comics, novels, and of course, hordes of merchandise.

LEGO has not been a stranger to producing its signature construction models styled after a Galaxy Far Far Away, having been associated with the franchise starting in 1999. Hundreds of Star Wars products have been made by LEGO from that point on.

The Top 10 Greatest LEGO Clone Wars Models

A considerable number of LEGO Star Wars sets have been made that were based on the Clone Wars. This should come as no surprise, as that particular section of the timeline is jam-packed with tons upon tons of marketable designs for vehicles, weapons, characters, and more. This is The Direct’s ranking of the 10 best LEGO Clone Wars sets to ever hit store shelves.

10.) 75280: 501st Legion Clone Troopers
