It looks like Rotta the Hutt might be heading back to LEGO Star Wars shelves later this year, and honestly, that is not a sentence many people probably expected to be reading in 2026. According to a new report from Bespin Bulletin, another wave of The Mandalorian and Grogu LEGO sets is reportedly on the way, and one of the leaked entries is currently labeled “Hutt and Droid.” The reported set is tied to an August 2026 release and is said to include 415 pieces for $49.99 / €49.99. The Big Hook Is Pretty Obvious: Rotta Bespin Bulletin says the current assumption is that this mystery set is connected to Rotta the Hutt, who is already known to be part of The Mandalorian and Grogu. The site notes that the film includes multiple Hutts and droids, but argues Rotta is the most likely fit here, especially given the movie’s trailer…

LEGO Star Wars SMART Play Is Here — And It Might Be the Smartest New Twist on Brick Battles Yet
LEGO Star Wars has found a new way to turn “just one more set” into a lifestyle. The newly launched LEGO Star Wars SMART Play line mixes classic brick building with interactive play features, using a SMART Brick and SMART Tags to trigger lights, sounds, characters, and story-driven responses across multiple sets. The first wave includes three all-in-one sets built around that system, with additional compatible sets expanding the experience. StarWars.com described the launch as the first wave of eight sets, including Luke’s Red Five X-Wing, Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter, Mos Eisley Cantina, and Throne Room Duel & A-Wing.

Star Wars Games (2000–2005): The Golden Age of a Gaming Empire
The early 2000s represent the single most important era in the history of Star Wars gaming. Between 2000 and 2005, the franchise delivered an unprecedented run of critically acclaimed and commercially successful titles across PC, console, and handheld platforms. From genre-defining role-playing games like Knights of the Old Republic to large-scale multiplayer experiences such as Battlefront and the ambitious Star Wars Galaxies MMO, this five-year period reshaped what licensed games could achieve. It was a time when nearly every major Star Wars release felt significant. Developers experimented with new genres, pushed emerging hardware to its limits, and expanded the universe beyond the films in ways that continue to influence modern Star Wars titles. Many of the mechanics, storytelling approaches, and gameplay systems introduced during these years remain central to Star Wars gaming today. This article documents the complete era of Star Wars games released between 2000 and 2005 — widely…

A new issue of the LEGO Star Wars Magazine has officially landed, and Issue #133 might be one of the more interesting recent releases for collectors and army builders alike.

LEGO “Death Star” lit up Sphere to mark the announcement of a new technology
The spherical façade of the Sphere complex in Las Vegas this week turned into a giant LEGO-brick “Death Star,” and a live interactive experience was launched on top of the visual overlay.
