Star Wars Lego Guide For Parents

Based on the Sci Fi epic by George Lucas the sets are inspired by all six movies as well as the Clone Wars movie and ongoing television series.

The sets are based largely on a war theme so keep that in mind if you are at all sensitive to militaristic toys. Most of the violence depicted in Star Wars is bloodless as the “good guys” are generally combating droids or stormtroopers who are defeated easily. Apart from that minor niggle, there is no doubt they sets are fun and very well designed.

For older kids most of the larger sets are also collectible if your kids are in the habit of keeping their childhood toys in prime condition.

The Lego Star Wars theme is also more than building sets. You can find video games, clocks, watches, books, bags, shirts, key rings, storage bags and more all bearing the Star Wars Lego characters and Logo.

The Star Wars Lego sets are some of the most popular and well designed themes of the Lego line and if your child is attracted to the series these sets are hard to resist.
