It’s the 25th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars and Blocks magazine Issue 115 is celebrating the milestone.

In Issue 115, Design Master Henrik Andersen talks about going back to an old design to create Ultimate Collector Series 75382 TIE Interceptor, Matt Denton reveals how he upscaled 75370 Stormtrooper Mech and the story of LEGO Star Wars is told through 25 sets.

Back in 1999, the LEGO Group and Lucasfilm teamed up for the first time to bring a galaxy far, far away to the world of the LEGO brick. Blocks is telling the story of that collaboration through 25 sets, each of which reveals something about the incredible journey that this beloved theme has been on.
In an exclusive interview, Design Master Henrik Andersen explains how he revisited the TIE Interceptor in the Ultimate Collector Series for the first time since he designed the original 24 years ago. 3D printing guru Matt Denton discusses his amazing upscaled Stormtrooper mech project and LEGO Certified Professional Nathan Sawaya looks back at his most unorthodox Star Wars builds.
There’s more though – a top 10 countdown of the best dark side minifigures, a special build project that upgrades 75372 Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack, a tease for the new book LEGO Star Wars: The Force of Creativity and reviews of the latest sets.
Beyond Star Wars, there’s the second part of our Modulex feature, showing how the tiny bricks differ from standard LEGO elements, instructions for building the Batmobile from Batman: The Animated Series and an inside look at how the LEGO Group’s assembly lines bag elements for sets.
This month’s 116-page edition also includes a look at amazing dragon builds, commentary on whether mechs were better back in the day, Harry Potter reviews and much, much more.
