The galaxy far, far away is converging with the world of the brick in a massive way this month. Blocks magazine has officially announced the launch of a dedicated, one-off Blocks LEGO Star Wars Special magazine. This 132-page collector’s edition is designed specifically for adult fans and serves as a comprehensive celebration of the long-standing collaboration between the LEGO Group and Lucasfilm.
The release of this special edition is timed perfectly to build momentum for the upcoming theatrical return of the franchise with The Mandalorian and Grogu. Whether you are a lifelong collector of the Ultimate Collector Series or a casual builder, this magazine is shaping up to be a definitive guide to the hobby.
Exclusive Interviews with Star Wars Legends
One of the primary draws of the Blocks LEGO Star Wars Special is the incredible access it provides to the actors who have defined the modern era of the saga. Leading the lineup is an exclusive interview with Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano. Eckstein discusses her journey with the character and her unique connection to the LEGO brand, including the story behind her famous dress constructed from over 10,000 LEGO elements.
Joining her in this special edition are Sam Witwer, the voice of Darth Maul, and the legendary Anthony Daniels, who has portrayed C-3PO for nearly five decades. These interviews go beyond standard press junket fare, diving into how these actors view the “brickified” versions of their iconic characters and their personal reflections on the Star Wars legacy.
Master-Class Builds and Mandalorian Recreations
For fans who pick up the magazine for the “bricks” as much as the “Star Wars,” the special issue does not disappoint. The magazine features a variety of custom builds and scene recreations that push the limits of what is possible with standard elements.
Notable builds showcased in this issue include:
- The First Meeting: A detailed recreation of Din Djarin and Grogu’s first encounter.
- Jawa Scavenging: A clever build featuring Jawas dismantling the Razor Crest piece by piece.
- Moff Gideon’s Base: An intricate look at the underground confrontation from the series finale.
In addition to these showcase pieces, the Blocks LEGO Star Wars Special provides step-by-step instructions for mini-models. These “Quick Builds” allow fans to use their own collections to create starfighters and vignettes that are perfect for desk displays.
A Deep Dive into LEGO Star Wars History
Beyond the current Disney+ era, the magazine takes a look back at the entire timeline of the theme. Since its debut in 1999, LEGO Star Wars has evolved into the most successful licensed theme in history. This special edition explores that evolution through interviews with LEGO designers like Jens Kronvold Frederiksen and Cesar Soares.
Fans will also get behind-the-scenes insights into the development of the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga video game and a look at “Jedi Bob,” the fan-favorite original character whose legend has grown within the community over the years.
How to Get Your Copy
The Blocks LEGO Star Wars Special is available now as a one-off purchase at blocksmag.com. For those looking to dive deeper into the hobby, the magazine is also running a promotion where fans who take out a print subscription before April 30, 2026, are entered for a chance to win a LEGO Pokémon 72151 Eevee set.
This 132-page volume is a must-have for fans looking to celebrate the return of Star Wars to the big screen. With its mix of high-end photography, expert building techniques, and rare actor insights, it stands as a testament to why this remains the most popular toy line in the galaxy.
