Star Wars is Lego's biggest and longest-running licensed theme, and the range spans everything from pocket-money starfighters to enormous Ultimate Collector Series centrepieces. That choice is brilliant, but it also makes it hard to know where to start. Here are the Star Wars sets we think are most worth buying right now, whatever your budget.

Prices on the bigger sets move around a lot between retailers, so each one links to its live comparison. A little patience here can save you a serious amount.
