You can now lead the charge against those tricksy Separatists with the Lego Star Wars Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser, and I'm so happy about that. The prequel Star Wars movies got a lot of things wrong, but the spaceship designs really were top notch. Nowhere is that clearer than with the Venator – the main battleship used by the Jedi forces during the Clone Wars (and precursor to the Empire’s iconic Star Destroyer). Fans of that beautiful ship are in for a treat with the latest Lego Ultimate Collector Series (UCS), as they’ve finally brought this magnificent ship to Lego life to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the Clone Wars.
The Lego Star Wars Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser is on sale for $649.99 / £559.99 via the Lego Store, which is admittedly a lot. So, should you buy it? Lego were kind enough to send us one out to review, and now that I’ve assembled this monster, I can confidently say that it’s one of the most impressive Lego Star Wars sets of the past few years – and arguably one of the best Lego sets overall in terms of sheer ambition.
