Given the huge range of LEGO Star Wars products available since 1999 you’d be forgiven for assuming that every scene of the original 6 movies could be faithfully re-enacted in LEGO. You’d be wrong and this article by our guest on episode 62 of Star Wars Collectors Cast Christopher Pearce takes a look at this, focusing first on The Phantom Menace.
The LEGO Star Wars theme is now in its seventeenth year and over 500 sets have been released in that time, a figure which only Town surpasses. It would therefore be reasonable to assume that every scene, vehicle and important character has been represented at some point in the long history of the theme.
However, that is not the case. Each Star Wars film and television series is packed with memorable characters, locations and vehicles, not all of which have been replicated in LEGO. This new eight-part series will discuss those absentees which I think are required to definitively encompass the entire Star Wars saga, beginning with The Phantom Menace.
