Star Wars is now the largest franchise on the planet worth $22 to $30 billion. Action figures line selfs. Every kid wants a toy lightsaber when they are young. Rides at Disney World take you through simulated worlds found in the movies while C3PO narrates where you are going. But, the true test of a franchise, is if LEGO adopts it as a theme for their sets. Not only is Star Wars one of five movie themes adopted by LEGO, but it is by far the most successful. The first LEGO set I ever got was the original Millennium Falcon LEGO set. It was so cool. I still remeber opening the box for the first time and building. I was six and in first grade. From there, I collected LEGOs over the course of the next ten years. I have played endlessly with them telling the stories over and over through playing with the mini figures. Here are some pictures of my favorite Star Wars sets from each episode.
