New Lego Smart Play sets are on the way, and they bring some of the most beloved Star Wars icons into the fold.

Following the project's announcement earlier this year, Lego has added five new sets to the Lego Smart Play range. This includes the Millennium Falcon, Mos Eisley Cantina, and Yoda's hut on Dagobah. All of these Lego Star Wars sets are available to preorder now at the Lego store ahead of their launch on March 1, 2026.

Millennium Falcon | $99.99 at Lego

Millennium Falcon | $99.99 at Lego
I have a suspicion that this is going to be the set everyone's talking about. It seems like a regular Falcon playset (albeit one at 885 pieces), but it can be fitted with a Smart Brick to bring it to life. What's more, it comes with four Smart Minifigures – Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and Luke Skywalker. It has four Smart Tags as well, depicting the Falcon itself, Hyperspace, Lightsaber sounds, and a Coaxium fuel container.

UK price: £89.99 at Lego

Luke's Landspeeder | $39.99 at Lego

Luke's Landspeeder | $39.99 at Lego
Designed for use with Smart Play for ages 6 and up, this 215-piece kit recreates the young Skywalker's ride from a New Hope. It includes a Luke Smart Minifigure alongside a Smart Tag for the landspeeder.

UK price: £34.99 at Lego

Yoda's Hut and Jedi Training | $69.99 at Lego

Yoda's Hut and Jedi Training | $69.99 at Lego
This slightly pricier Smart Play kit features 440 pieces, two Smart Minifigures (Yoda and Luke), two Smart Tags for Force training and cooking, and the Jedi Master's home. It includes a balancing game to simulate either Luke or Yoda lifting objects with the Force.

UK price: £59.99 at Lego

AT-ST Attack on Endor | $79.99 at Lego

AT-ST Attack on Endor | $79.99 at Lego
I didn't realize that this was a Smart Play figure when I first saw it behind closed doors, but it's actually compatible with the technology. It's 347 pieces strong, comes with a Wicket the Ewok Smart Minifigure, and has two Smart Tags for the AT-ST and Speeder Bike.

UK price: £44.99 at Lego

Mos Eisley Cantina | $79.99 at Lego

Mos Eisley Cantina | $79.99 at Lego
Although I've got a soft spot for the new Falcon model, this Smart Play-compatible take on the bar from A New Hope won me over when I saw it in person. It's 666 pieces with two Smart Minifigures of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Greedo, and it has three Smart Tags: one for a Dewback, another for karaoke, and a final one for drink mixing. The karaoke function is really amusing, and yes… it plays that theme.

Something you might notice is that none of these feature Smart Bricks. For those, you'll need to buy one of the previously-revealed models. (Want to make sure you get a copy on launch day? Here's where to buy Lego Smart Play.)

I've already said that I think Smart Play is about to change everything, but I wasn't sure how it would actually feel to use. Having now been hands-on with the technology, including the models listed above, I 'get' it. I'll share my impressions in a full feature soon, but I was genuinely taken aback by it.

Rather than just using clips from the movies, these are all generated organically based on the Smart Tags in use and will change based on speed or movement. In other words, your Smart Brick will synthesize a sound modelled on the iconic TIE fighter scream if you attach it to Darth Vader's ship and whizz it around the room, increasing or decreasing in intensity depending on how the set moves. Similarly, attaching Chewie to the Cantina model will punctuate that catchy song with the wookie's roars as he 'sings' along on stage (speaking of which, none of the minifigs 'talk'; it's all endearing gibberish, like Simlish). This avoids clogging up the Smart Brick with stored soundbytes while also allowing it to adapt to any scenario.

It's unclear whether this will earn Smart Play a place amongst the best Lego sets, but it certainly makes me excited to see what it does next.
