Lego Star Wars is in a terrible state. Lego, a company that harks that only the best is good enough, has become repetitive, lazy and unpassionate. Prices are sky rocketing, yet quality seems to only go down.

Lego seems to prefer prequel sets over original trilogy sets despite the prequels not being very good. The prequel sets are terrible because of the clone troopers. Prequel fanboys can barely be considered Star Wars fans. We have gotten 212th, 371th, 181st, Coruscant Guard, 501st, 302nd, and plain clone troopers. It’s the same armor, just a different color scheme. The characters themselves have inaccuracies in their helmet molds and armor design. In the 2000s’ Lego was able to correctly print the stripe down the clone troopers helmets. Compare that to 2025 where they cannot even be bothered to get that simple detail right. When Rogue One came out, Lego produced new molds and new troopers for the movie. There were Shore Troopers, Death Troopers, Shock Troopers and a whole variety of unique characters to collect. The quality and accuracy was there, and the stormtrooper helmet molds looked good. This was before Lego became edgy, where now the company tries too hard to appeal to adults despite dumbing down their products’ quality. They think being minimalistic makes them cool and modern, but it’s just lame. The sets are now stripped of their previous thoughtful box art and quality instruction manuals for soulless corporate branding. To make things even worse, Lego has the audacity to raise their prices. It is apparent that there is a massive mark up on Starwars sets. Other Disney sets have more pieces yet significantly lower prices. Despite this, fans will keep purchasing these sets. Ultimately, this fall off could be remedied if people boycotted Lego Star Wars to force the company to change their ways.
