Product Information

In April 2014, most of the licensed Star Wars novels, games, and comics produced since 1976 (and prior to 2014), were rebranded by Lucasfilm as Star Wars Legends; and therefore declared non-canon to the franchise.

ISBN 0-87431-210-8.In contrast to the UCS, we have the Master Builder Series (MBS), a line that — although its complexity is nearly equivalent to the UCS — is made for the purpose of being played with. Sets in this group, first introduced in 2018, are distinguishable by their inclusion of varied play functions and interior details, which allow them to easily fall into the category of toys. Two notable examples of products in the MBS are those depicting the betrayal at Cloud City and the Mos Eisley Cantina. With these products, fans can re-enact the exploits of their favourite Jedi, droids, bounty hunters, and Sith Lords (including Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, R2-D2, Darth Maul, General Grievous, and Boba Fett). The Heads & Helmets Collection As the home of pop culture, we offer tons of officially licensed toys based on films, TV series, and video games. These include the Star Wars LEGO theme, a line of products that was originally licensed by the brand in 1999, when the franchise belonged to Lucasfilm. The LEGO Grouphas extended their license on multiple occasions, partnering with The Walt Disney Company after they became the new owners of the franchise. Described in A Guide to the Star Wars Universe (1984) as being 8 kilometers (5.0mi) long, Executor-class Super Star Destroyers were later described as being 19 kilometers (12mi) long. [53] In addition to Vader's command ship Executor, Star Wars novels introduce the prison ship Lusankya and stealth-armored Knight Hammer as other in the class. [54] [55] Kevin J. Anderson's novel Darksaber describes a Super Star Destroyer as being "worth twenty Imperial Star Destroyers". [55]

Notable examples of Star Destroyers include the precursor Venator-class Star Destroyer ( prequel trilogy), the ubiquitous Imperial-class Star Destroyer ( original trilogy), and the recent Resurgent-class and Xyston-class Star Destroyer ( sequel trilogy). Numerous other classes of "Star Destroyers" share the basic triangular "dagger" hull; the successful v-shaped designs are explained in Legends as reflecting the Empire's "Tarkin's Doctrine" military philosophy and originating from Sith ideological influence, and have been adapted by numerous factions for a wide variety of applications.

Built by Kuat Drive Yards, [2] the Executor was part of a class of Star Destroyers of the same name, which were the fruit of a project the Sith Lord Darth Vader had been pushing for. [35] The Executor was intended to take the place of the Annihilator as the flagship of the Supreme Commander, Grand General Cassio Tagge, and therefore assume the position of the greatest starship in the entire Imperial Fleet. [21] By the aftermath of the War on Shu-Torun, the Super Star Destroyer was entering the final stages of its construction at the orbital shipyards of Kuat.

The Victory-class Star Destroyer first described in the early Star Wars novella, was initially designed as a direct predecessor to the Imperial-class during the development of A New Hope, which would make it a follow-up to the Venator-class seen in Revenge of the Sith. The Victory appears very similar in appearance to the Imperial-class which succeeded it; albeit the Victory being considerably smaller in scale (900 meters in length versus 1600 meters), adds atmospheric maneuvering "wings" on the port and starboard sides (according to Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game sourcebooks, the Victory I-class can enter a planetary atmosphere which is a unique attribute not found in the Victory II and Imperial-class Star Destroyers), and a shorter conning tower with different elements on the command bridge. The Victory-class was developed from a prototype Star Destroyer model created by Colin Cantwell for A New Hope, with the final design being used for the basis of the Imperial-class.

Capital Ships are the rarest ships in the game, as they can only be acquired after completing all Story Missions in a specific Episode and then either completing a specific Side Mission (for the Death Stars) or shooting down enemy forces in specific sectors of space (for the rest). There are also 12 mini build toys including the Millennium Falcon, an A-wing, TIE Fighter, X-wing, Droid Control Ship, Anakin’s Podracer and Darth Vader’s Castle to spark kids’ imaginations in the run-up to Christmas.

In 4 ABY, [10] the Executor, still commanded by Piett, served as the flagship for an Imperial fleet of Star Destroyers that assembled at the remote forest moon of Endor, where the Empire's new superweapon, the second Death Star was under construction. [11] The Executor stood guard over Endor, taking clearance requests from any starship that entered the system. [46] When the Lambda-class T-4a shuttle Tydirium arrived in the system, the Executor reached out for its code clearance, to which it recieved an older but still valid code. Just as Piett was going to allow the shuttle a chance to pass, Vader asked for more information on its destination after sensing there was more to the ship; the shuttle had actually been stolen by the Rebel Alliance and was transporting a strike team, among its members Skywalker, to the surface. While Piett was willing to hold the Tydirium, Vader led the ship pass to deal with the matter personally. [11]

In draft scripts for the film that would become Star Wars, the term "Stardestroyer" refers to two-man fighters flown by what would become the Galactic Empire. [1] The film's second draft features four Star Destroyers chasing a single Rebel ship, [7] but the tremendous costs incurred by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) when production began helped lead Lucas to use a single "terrifyingly large" Star Destroyer instead of four. [8] ILM built a 91-centimeter (36in) shooting model that was about half the size of the model for the Tantive IV the Star Destroyer was chasing. [1] Lucas asked ILM to build a larger Star Destroyer model to match the Tantive IV's scale, but ILM convinced him that the Dykstraflex camera invented for the film made this unnecessary. [9] Nevertheless, they added additional hull details to the Star Destroyer model. [9] The 13-second opening shot was the first special effects piece ILM completed, [9] and its success was an essential test for the Dykstraflex. [9] Victory Star Destroyer: The Victory-class Star Destroyer originally featured only in Star Wars Legends novellas (see below). It first appeared in the new Star Wars canon in the 2014 novel Tarkin, written by James Luceno, and was first depicted in Darth Vader 6: Vader, Part VI, a 2015 comic book written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Salvador Larroca. The Victory Star Destroyer is the Imperial Navy's starting vessel in the core set of Fantasy Flight Games's Star Wars: Armada, a table top miniatures game released on March 27, 2015. [46] [47] Star Wars: On the Front Lines and Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition state that the Executor was the first of its class; [34] however, this is contradicted by other sources, [21] and this article assumes On the Front Lines and Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition are in error.

LEGO® Star Wars™ building toys are awesome for kids (and adult fans) to recreate scenes from the saga, dream up original stories or just build and display the awesome construction models. In 2009, in conjunction with the then ongoing TV show Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Lego released a 1,170 piece model of the Venator. For the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show, noted modder Sander van der Velden created a custom-built PC made to look like a Venator Star Destroyer. Built around a fully-functional, liquid-cooled PC, the surrounding case was constructed in the shape of a Venator using aluminum and 3D printed material. The final product required 400 hours of work to complete.
