The Worst LEGO Star Wars Set Each Year 1999-2022

The thing about Jek's starfighter is that it's actually based on a ship from Legends: the E-Wing. It may not be great, but it has potential to be modified.

I love that everyone disagress with you on jeks starfighter because it was such a W set and although the figures are all made up they are still awesome

UCS isn't meant to be minifig scale, it's meant to be a good scale for display

you did NOT just diss the Yoda Chronicles like that bro 😭😭😭

"set is garbage and show is unknown" yoda chronicles made so much people's childhoods. this set was basically an e-wing from legends

I really think the Freco speeder is underrated. Two exclusive mini figures and Anakin’s alternate face with the face wrappings is great

You underestimate Yoda Chronicles. Jek-14s stealth fighter is actually based on the E-Wing and the set after it is an amazing build based on shape alone. And The Freemaker Adventures is severely underrated.

The 1999 droid fighter actually did have play features. You could have the wings fold down for it to land or you could open and close the wings. I think that it was actually really nice and it was only like 7 Bucks back in the day so not having a figure was kind of reasonable since it's the same price as a polybag. I think maybe the Naboo swamp was worse, but all the sets from 1999 were all pretty good, especially for a first attempt. (Edit: I own one with box now, it is really cool.) Also, Robots was made by Blue Sky, not DreamWorks.

I actually worked at LEGO at the time the twilight was produced. Lucasfilm was convinced it would be the next Millennium Falcon and it just...wasn't. It was so prominent in the movie but even in the show after that it barely showed up again from what I remember. really weird how it all worked out.

UCS landspeeder isn't minifigure scale on purpose. Wasn't supposed to be.

Assault on Hoth isn’t a bad set. It was just branded under the wrong theme. If they had introduced the master builder series using this set no one would have hated it.

Quick thing about 2013 and 2014. The 2013 pick here was actually based on the E-Wing, a very beloved fighter from expanded universe content. And the 2014 set I actually really really liked unironically, it was one of my favorite starfighter sets of all time. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but to me it was a banger.

I know it's an opinion, but I honestly don't like the "the ship looks ugly" argument if it looks accurate to the source material.

7:55, I actually have so much nostalgia for The Yoda Chronicles, I watched that series to death when I was younger

I couldn't agree more with the Luke landspeeder judgement, however..... Jek 19's starfighter was slick AF with and amazing figure

Gotta disagree on the Jek 14 Stealth Fighter man. It's literally an E-wing ripped from Star Wars Legends. We're all popping off now that Ahsoka is canonizing the E-wing and we're getting it as a set in 2023. If only I'd been more familiar with the E-wing when the Jek 14 set came out.

I think the Assult on Hoth from 2016 gets way to much hate. Yes it´s titled as a UCS set and for a UCS set it is bad but the set itself is really good, it´s one of the best playsets Lego has made for star wars and I absolutley loved playing with it when it came out. I don´t think the set deserves this much hate only because of the wrong title

Jek's fighter is based off of the E-Wing so it can work pretty well with slight modifications to fit into your Legends New Republic Army Also Lego likes to use concept art alot for their sets like for the Lego Pirates of the Caribbean Fountain of Youth and in general the Blackbeard Minifig as both are based from Concept art before the movie was even released thus why the Scout Walker being there in a 2017 set makes sense as it was used in Concept Art for the Last Shitdi which was released in 2018

The commentary over 2013 aged very poorly. The only good point you had was that LEGO made the set to advertise their own little Star Wars special. The Ship is based of off an E-Wing from Legends, and it's getting brought to cannon with the new Ahsoka show. I personally think the set is fine and wish I had one for the design.

To be fair the podracer bucket was intended for beginners and young children
