Star Wars Lego is the most popular of the Lego licensed waves, both when the sets are announced an on the secondary store when sets are discontinued. In 2010 Lego has released two waves of Lego sets, spanning the prequel and customary trilogies as well as the Clone Wars Tv series. In late 2010 Lego issue their final wave of Star Wars sets for the year and there are some sweet sets to close off the year.
The first set of this final wave is a midi scale version of an Imperial Star Destroyer. Set 8099 is similar in scale to last year's Millennium Falcon release, set 7778, which was too small for minifigures but too large to be called a mini set, hence the term Midi scale. This is the fourth Imperial Star Destroyer issue from Lego, following on the heels of the greatest assembler version in 2002, the mini version in 2004 and the minifig scale model in 2006.

The Midi Scale Star Destroyer will have 423 pieces and retail for .99. It is small and sturdy adequate to be held by young hands and flown colse to the room so wins points for swooshability. Now that the midi scale Millennium Falcon has other ship to interact with, Lego might see an growth in sales for this new scale.
The second issue in late 2010 is other fan favourite, the At-At. Surprisingly this is Lego's third minfig scale issue of the infamous imperial walker from The Empire Strikes Back. Old releases came in 2003 and 2007, the latter being a motorized version that could well walk using a battery power pack. This most recent version, set 8129 will highlight the figures C-3Po, Hoth Rebel, Luke Skywalker (Pilot), Han Solo, two Snowtroopers, an At-At Driver and normal Veers so is set again in the Hoth environment, not on Endor as some fans were hoping.
However, fans disappointed by the lack of Endor love will enjoy the last issue for this year, a large scale greatest assembler Series (Ucs) version of the approved Imperial Shuttle. Set 10212 will come with over 2500 pieces and, as a major bonus, the minifigures of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, a shuttle pilot, stormtrooper and Imperial Officer. At first impressions, it is a very impressive set that is sure to be in demand, regardless of the price point. Combining Ucs sets with minifigures was well a hit with the Ucs Millennium Falcon and it's good to see Lego continue the trend.
Looking back on the Star Wars Lego releases of 2010 there has been a great mix of sets for distinct age groups and saga-era fans. The minifigures have been a composition of awesome redesigns, welcome new characters and old faithful standbys. These last three sets are sure to please when they are released in the second half of the year and you never know, Lego may have a few more surprises up their sleeve for Star Wars fans.
