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.
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.
