I’ve been looking forward to getting my Empire-loving mitts on the Lego Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer (75394). Not only is the capital ship one of the most iconic vessels from the Original Trilogy, but its pair of playset predecessors are some of the best Lego set classics in their own right. You have to go all the way back to 2006’s set 6211 to witness Billund’s first iteration of this menacing triangular spacecraft, and what a marvelous effort it was for the time.
Jump to 2014, and Lego released set 75055, which was immediately considered the definitive offering. Due to the Star Destroyer’s rather simplistic, angular shape, you’d be hard-pressed to find a set that’s been around this long while physically changing so little. The very latest incarnation that I’m reviewing today might be the smallest of the bunch, but it also has the most pieces.
