Fans finally have their first look at Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’sCal Kestis as a LEGO Star Wars minifigure. The first LEGO Star Wars building sets were released in 1999 to promote Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, and for the past 25 years the Galaxy Far, Far Away has been one of LEGO’s most popular settings. About 928 LEGO Star Wars sets have been released as of April 2024, and there have been countless tie-in animated movies and Traveller’s Tales-developed LEGO Star Wars video games to go with them.

While LEGO has mainly focused on the Star Wars movies and television shows, there have been sets inspired by Star Wars video games as well. 2008 saw the release of a model Rogue Shadow from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, complete with minifigures of Starkiller, Juno Eclipse, and a battle-damaged Darth Vader. Four sets inspired by Star Wars: The Old Republic were released in 2012, featuring vehicles and characters from BioWare’s popular MMO. Even BD-1 from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderwas honored with a LEGO set in 2022, though his owner Cal Kestis has yet to be seen in LEGO form until now.

Late last week, the official LEGO Star Wars UK Twitter account posted a commemorative video to celebrate the line’s upcoming 25th anniversary, featuring animated LEGO Star Wars minifigures re-enacting scenes from the many Star Wars movies and TV shows.
