If LEGO and Star Wars have taught us anything over the last 25 years, it is that playtime is never finished—only upgraded. And now, LEGO has decided that pressing buttons and making pew-pew noises manually is no longer enough. Enter five brand-new LEGO Star Wars Galaxy SMART Play sets, revealed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, and yes, they are exactly as clever as they sound.
Unveiled with help from Anthony Daniels himself—C-3PO in the shiny metal flesh—these new LEGO SMART Play Star Wars sets expand the interactive platform LEGO revealed at CES 2026. And fittingly, this marks the first time C-3PO appears as a SMART Minifigure, which feels long overdue for a droid who is, famously, fluent in over six million forms of communication. Now he is fluent in play, too.
At the heart of SMART Play is the LEGO SMART Brick, working alongside SMART Tags and SMART Minifigures to make classic LEGO builds respond in real time. Translation: your LEGO Millennium Falcon now knows when it is jumping to hyperspace, your AT-ST makes walking sounds when it moves, and Mos Eisley Cantina can apparently host karaoke night. Somewhere, George Lucas is either smiling or deeply confused.
Leading the charge is the LEGO Star Wars SMART Play Millennium Falcon, an 885-piece build that lets you shoot lasers, jump to lightspeed, play holochess, and practice lightsaber skills. It includes SMART versions of Han Solo, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, and C-3PO, which makes this Falcon more socially aware than most group chats.
Luke’s Landspeeder gets the SMART treatment too, complete with refuelling and repair interactions, while Yoda’s Hut and Jedi Training bring Dagobah to life with Force training, balance exercises, and even resting in a brick-built bed. The AT-ST Attack on Endor set adds motion-activated sounds and lights, letting Wicket finally take revenge with proper audio feedback.
Then there is the Mos Eisley Cantina, which is screams pure chaos—Tattoine-style. Karaoke, drink mixing, droid ejections, Dewback riding—it is basically the cantina scene turned into a playable variety show. TBH, it sounds more dangerous than the real Mos Eisley.
All five sets are compatible with the existing LEGO System-in-Play, and they are available for pre-order now, with a full launch on March 1, 2026. Prices start at US$39.99 and go up to US$99.99, depending on how much interactivity you think your Star Wars shelf deserves.
LEGO says SMART Play is just getting started, and if this is the opening act, the galaxy of play is about to get very loud, very interactive, and possibly very musical. Not going to lie. I thought LEGO was just dipping its toes. Apparently, it isn’t. It is all-in on this.
