LEGO: Six of the Coolest Star Wars Rebel Ships

The A-Wing Starfighter (75275-1)

A-Wings are just cool. They are fast, small, and classic ships. As a newer entry in the UCS line, this is a super detailed and great ship that displays well and is just small enough that you can whoosh it around. I admit I’m a tad biased here, as I do own this particular ship.

I haven’t owned a ton of UCS builds, but it lived up to expectations and was a ton of fun to build. I’d say more about it, but it keeps asking me to woosh it around some more. And those pew-pews aren’t going to make themselves.

25th Anniversary Millennium Falcon (75375)

Next up, we have the 25th Anniversary Millennium Falcon, which was just released this year to celebrate the launch of LEGO Star Wars. This is the Falcon on a smaller scale and for display. Despite its small size, it still clocks in at 921 pieces. It’s a cool little display set that can easily fit on a shelf and looks really slick.

Now, there are a lot of other Falcon sets out there, but this has the advantage of being much cheaper than any of the others. It’s a lot of bang for your buck and a very easy Falcon to display. However, I’ve gotta give a shout-out to The Dark Falcon (75389), which is basically a bunch of Star Wars memes in LEGO form.

UCS Millennium Falcon (75192-1)

Speaking of other Falcon builds. This is, without a doubt, the Holy Grail of LEGO Star Wars sets. At a staggering 7,541 pieces, it was billed at the time as the largest-ever LEGO set. It’s a massive, to-scale, fully detailed replica of the Falcon. The set has got detailed interior sections and can be built as either the OT Falcon or the Sequel Trilogy ship. It’s a monster to build (Adam Savage and his team took over 10 hours). I don’t have more words for this thing.

UCS X-Wing Starfighter (75355)

Over the years, there have been a lot, and I mean a lot, of X-Wing sets. It is the fighter with the most Star Wars sets out there. Most of them are great builds, with the 2012 version being a stand-out to me. But if you have to pick just one as the coolest, well, I think it’s gotta be the newest UCS version. This is another UCS build I own, and it’s just super cool and detailed. Moving S-foils are a must for an X-Wing, and it delivers that as well.

Tantive IV 25th Anniversary Set (75376)

You can find a few Tantive IV sets out there. Some are bigger and more detailed, but for my money, this is the coolest one. Like the 75375 Falcon set above, it was released this year to celebrate the LEGO Star Wars anniversary. It’s a really nice, compact, and affordable display bit. You could even shell out for a few of them to build a whole fleet.

Now, I do wish the forward head section was a tad bit bigger, but overall, this ship looks great. You can totally fly it around, and its smaller size makes it easy to display. For me, it’s just such a good deal for what you get. You also get some cool C-3PO and R2-D2 Easter eggs hidden inside. I love looking at mine, for sure.

UCS Snowspeeder (75144)

I don’t know, man. There is just something really cool looking about this version of the Snowspeeder. I think maybe it’s because the big flat panels and angle work really well in LEGO. Regardless, though, we’ve gotten a number of Snowspeeder versions over the years, and this is by far my favorite. It’s not great details, but it looks very accurate and has chunky guns! Also, canonically, the Snowspeeder is one of the coolest LEGO sets due to its operating conditions.

Sadly, it’s out of production. Hopefully, they’ll release an updated version with the same cool look.
