The Prequel and Clone Wars chapters of Star Wars are back in the spotlight.
Grown-up fans who grew up with these films are now celebrating this once-underrated part of the galaxy.
Even though it took Disney a bit to catch on, Star Wars now pays tribute to this era with countless references and tie-ins across recent releases.
New LEGO Star Wars merchandise is following suit.
For the first time since The Clone Wars aired on Cartoon Network, we’re seeing an explosion of products from this beloved period.
After years of fan requests, LEGO appears to be heeding the call.
Rumours on Instagram and YouTube hint at an exciting slate of upcoming Prequel Trilogy and Clone Wars sets hitting shelves soon.
Although LEGO hasn’t officially confirmed these sets yet, the buzz is undeniable.
75409: UCS Jango Fett’s Slave I
Estimated Release Date: 1 May 2025
Estimated Price: $299.99
Each year, LEGO celebrates Star Wars Day on 4 May with a special Ultimate Collector Series release.
Historically, these sets have spotlighted vehicles, droids, and iconic scenes from the original trilogy.
Fans of the Prequels have often been left wanting more.
It now looks like LEGO is planning a UCS set of Jango Fett’s version of Slave I from Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
This isn’t the first time LEGO has made this model.
Set 7153 debuted in 2002 and has since become a hot-ticket item on the secondary market.
Expect an updated colour scheme and modern build techniques to refresh this classic design.
There’s even a rumour of a smaller, more affordable version coming later this summer.
75408: Jango Fett’s Helmet
Estimated Release Date: 1 May 2025
Estimated Price: $69.99
LEGO’s Helmet Collection started in 2020 and now features at least two Star Wars helmet sets every year.
With the AT-AT Driver helmet already set for a March release, Jango Fett’s helmet is queued up for the 4 May celebration.
Fans familiar with LEGO’s previous designs for Boba Fett and The Mandalorian helmets might recognise this style.
Expect some modern tweaks and perhaps a fresh colour twist in light of new parts developed over the past five years.
This helmet promises to be a brilliant complement to set 75409.
75400: Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter Microfighter
Estimated Release Date: 1 June 2025
Estimated Price: $14.99
Fans were thrilled by the release of the ARC-170 Starfighter earlier this year – a ship not seen in LEGO form for 15 years.
On the packaging, the ARC-170 is shown during the dramatic moment in Episode III where it fires upon Jedi Master Plo Koon.
This sparked rumours of a dedicated set for Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter from Episode III, a vehicle LEGO has yet to produce.
While a version from The Clone Wars was released in 2010, the new set will be a microfighter – a fun, scaled-down build without minifigures.
The excitement of a new Plo Koon design is tinged with a touch of disappointment for collectors who prefer build-to-scale models.
75411: Darth Maul Mech
Estimated Release Date: 1 June 2025
Estimated Price: $14.99
Remember that cheeky moment when Darth Maul almost looked like he was piloting a mech, reminiscent of Mobile Suit Gundam?
Don’t worry – there aren’t any actual mechs in Star Wars.
LEGO’s aim isn’t strict canonical accuracy but rather a playful, affordable set aimed at younger fans.
Rumour has it this set will feature a Clone Wars take on the notorious villain, potentially including a new, exclusive minifigure.
Details remain sketchy, but the promise of a refreshed Darth Maul is enough to spark interest.
75413: UT-AT
Estimated Release Date: 1 August 2025
Estimated Price: $149.99
You know the AT-AT well, but have you heard of the UT-AT?
For the real Star Wars buffs, the Unstable Terrain Artillery Transport (UT-AT) is a nod to visual dictionaries from the past.
This almost-invisible vehicle appeared briefly during Order 66 in Episode III, on the planet Mygeeto.
It’s hardly surprising that LEGO hadn’t tackled it before.
Now, after a long wait, LEGO is finally bringing this obscure design to life.
The anticipated inclusion of Galactic Marine minifigures – a unique armour variation of Clone Troopers – adds an extra layer of appeal.
Expect also the possible addition of Commander Bacara and a Jedi, rounding out a set that represents both sides of the Clone Wars.
75248: Battle Droid
Estimated Release Date: 1 August 2025
Estimated Price: $99.99
LEGO has been upping its game with buildable figures of Star Wars characters.
Following last year’s 25th-anniversary tribute to Episode I with set 75381: Droideka, a fully buildable battle droid seems like a natural next step.
This set may not draw in new fans, but longtime collectors of buildable characters are sure to appreciate it.
75341: 327th Star Corp Battle Pack
Estimated Release Date: 1 August 2025
Estimated Price: $39.99
Battle packs have long been a hit with LEGO Star Wars fans.
They’re budget-friendly sets that let collectors build armies of minifigures.
After the success of previous Clone Trooper packs, a new one is on the horizon.
Rumour has it this pack will include an AT-RT in action against a dwarf spider droid and three super battle droids.
This could be one of the most popular summer releases, and scarcity might drive prices up on the secondary market.
75432: V-19 Torrent
Estimated Release Date: 1 August 2025
Estimated Price: $59.99
It’s been a long time since LEGO last gave us a new V-19 Torrent – not since 2008.
While many starfighters have received more attention over the years, this Clone Wars classic is finally making a comeback.
Those who remember the original design will be thrilled by the engineering feat of deploying three wings into flight mode.
If LEGO can match that play feature, fans are in for a real treat.
The set is expected to include three minifigures: a Clone Pilot (obviously), Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Asajj Ventress.
The latter two haven’t seen an update in their Clone Wars attire for some time, so expect some refreshing tweaks.
75433: Jango Fett’s Slave I
Estimated Release Date: 1 August 2025
Estimated Price: $69.99
Now things get really interesting.
Earlier this year we heard about a UCS version of Jango Fett’s Slave I scheduled for 4 May.
But it seems a smaller, more wallet-friendly version is also set to launch just three months later.
This play-scale set will be roughly $230 cheaper than the UCS version, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious collectors.
It’s unusual to see two versions of the same vehicle so close together, and it raises questions about how they’ll perform in the market.
Fans eager for a Jango Fett minifigure along with the iconic ship might lean towards the more affordable option.
Time will tell, but having both versions available is certainly an exciting prospect.
75435: Separatist MTT
Estimated Release Date: 1 August 2025
Estimated Price: $149.99
The Multi-Troop Transport – that big, brown tank famously seen deploying battle droids during The Phantom Menace’s Battle of Naboo – is stepping into a new era.
Previously, LEGO’s focus was on the Episode I version.
Now, rumours suggest a reimagined MTT based on The Clone Wars is on the way, featuring a striking dark blue and grey palette instead of the traditional brown.
This set is expected to pack up to 10 battle droids, along with Jedi Master Aayla Secura and Clone Trooper Bly.
It perfectly complements the UT-AT, ensuring both sides of the Clone Wars are well-represented with formidable vehicles.
