Last week, the LEGO Group unveiled the LEGO Star Wars Executor Super Star Destroyer, a spectacular 6,130-piece building set designed for adult fans. This highly detailed Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) model invites builders to recreate the legendary flagship of Darth Vader, capturing the vessel’s vast scale and razor-sharp silhouette as seen in the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
A digital building experience is available via the LEGO Builder app, where builders can save sets, track progress, zoom in and rotate the model in 3D during construction.
Paying respect to the ship
Designed as a tribute to one of the saga’s most recognisable ships, the set gives fans a striking display piece worthy of a galaxy far, far away. Builders can showcase the completed flagship on its built-in minimal stand alongside a companion Star Destroyer built to scale, complete with a tiny Millennium Falcon on a 1×1 round tile as a playful nod to the Executor’s colossal proportions.
The longest LEGO Star Wars model to date
Measuring over 136 cm in length, this is the longest LEGO Star Wars brick-built model to date. The previous version, created in 2011, was 124.4 cm long and had roughly 3,150 pieces, so the new model is about 12 cm longer and nearly twice as heavy in bricks. To achieve this impressive feat, the design team engineered a LEGO System core with slender LEGO Technic outriggers that anchor the exterior panels, delivering strength without bulk.
Bringing the set to life
Authenticity and detail are at the heart of this set, which features dense central greebling contrasted against sleek side panels. Among the 6,130 elements is a newly designed decorated tile graphic used 60 times to recreate the tiny hull lights and central detailing.
The graphic works across multiple orientations and overlaps, allowing the repeated tiles to read as organic “random lights”. Controlled inversions are utilised to switch building orientation mid-build, exposing both stud and tube sides for richer detailing on the centre spine and underside.
Seven minifigures
The set includes seven minifigures: Darth Vader and, for the first time in a single set, all six bounty hunters: Boba Fett, Dengar (featuring a refreshed backpack build), Bossk, IG-88 (featuring a brand-new moulded head), 4-LOM and Zuckuss. The model includes a detailed minifigure-scale scene of the Executor’s bridge, where builders can recreate the legendary moment these characters meet.
The six of them stand together exactly once in the films, on that bridge in The Empire Strikes Back, when Vader hires them to find the Millennium Falcon and tells Boba Fett he wants the crew alive, with no disintegrations. That single scene is the reason a set can put all six in one box for the first time.
The LEGO Star Wars Executor Super Star Destroyer set is available for purchase starting 1 October 2026. Additionally, shoppers who purchase the set in the first seven days of October will receive the LEGO Darth Vader’s LIGHTSABER as a gift.
