144
Seasons greetings and welcome back to the Jay’s Brick Blog Daily daily countdown of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar!

How does the daily advent calendar countdown work?
If you’re new here, I post daily updates on each window of the 2024 Star Wars Advent Calendar. I usually post updates in the morning, but sometimes if things get too busy, updates will be posted in the evening. I’ll update this post each day, as I don’t really enjoy the practice of creating new posts for each day as it keeps it so much cleaner, so bookmark this post to come back every day!
Unlike other sites, I’m actually opening each window as I go, and I’ve been able to be relatively spoiler-free to be as surprised as I can get. All reviews, thoughts and reactions are live as we go along, there are no pre-planned photos or thoughts, unless I happen to be travelling or away from home.
Do note that I’m based in Melbourne, Australia (GMT +11) so we’re ahead of most of the world (except New Zealand) so to avoid spoilers, try to come back to this post after you’ve opened your window and built the daily model especially if you’re located in other time zones.

Here’s a look at the 2024 Star Wars Advent Calendar with the front flap opened that serves as a playmat to display all the models and minifigures.
It looks like we’re going back to basics this year, with Hoth being the backdrop for this year’s SW Advent Calendar!
You count upwards from 1 to 24, so don’t make the mistake of going backwards!
As always, the instructions are found on the inside of each window flap, so be gentle when opening them as you’ll need to sometimes refer to them for slightly more complicated builds!
Without wasting any time, let’s get started with the 2024 Star Wars Advent Calendar countdown!
Day 1
Day 1 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar starts off incredibly strongly with one of the most iconic Star Wars ships, the X-Wing Starfighter!
This one looks to belong to Luke Skywalker, evident by the blue stud representing his trusty Astromech droid R2-D2, and I like the much darker grey colour scheme here.
The prominent tan strip and grey colour scheme gives off decidedly retro LEGO Star Wars vibes, looking like the original LEGO X-Wing from 1999.
Overall, a great start to the calendar with a crowd-pleaser model that’s fun to build, and also indulges in a bit of Star Wars nostalgia. Check back tomorrow for what we get in Day 2!
Day 2
Day 2 of the Star Wars Advent Calendar is an absolute banger, and I had to double check that I didn’t accidentally open the 24th window but we get Princess Leia in a festive Christmas jumper/sweater!
I was very surprised to already see a Christmas sweater minifigure, and Princess Leia looks incredible here.
The front of her Christmas Sweater has an AT-AT attacking Echo Base, with a Snowspeeder facing it head on.
And here’s a look at the back print, which has the Shield Generators, a Tauntaun and another Snowspeeder. Very impressive amount of Hoth references squeezed into such a small footprint!
Another amazing day from the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar. So surprised to get a seasonal minifigure so early on, but it looks like they’re really confident in keeping excitement high if we’re already getting Princess Leia in Day 2!
Check back tomorrow to see what we get in Day 3!
Day 3
The 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar continues to impress with a TIE Fighter on Day 3! But this isn’t any TIE Fighter, it’s a nod to the original 7146 TIE Fighter from 2001!
I had an inkling that Day 1’s X-Wing was a nod to the original wave of LEGO Star Wars sets, and today’s TIE Fighter with those unmistakable blue accents all but solidifies my theory.
2024 is a big year for LEGO Star Wars as the theme is celebrating its 25th anniversary, so it’s really fun to see these mini builds pay homage to the earliest LEGO Star Wars builds!
So far, three for three models, and now that it’s confirmed that there’s a retro element to the builds, I can’t wait to see what we get on Day 4!
Day 4
On Day 4 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, we get a Super Battle Droid! It’s typically customary to get a regular B1 Battle Droid in Advent Calendars, but LEGO seemed a little generous this year upgrading us to the superior B2 Battle Droid!
Update: Thanks to Matthias for pointing out, I appeared to have misassembled the arms! The shorter arm section should connect to the body.
Or maybe we will get a B1 Battle Droid later… who knows.
These heavily armoured battle droids are a staple of Clone Wars Separatist droid armies, and the level of articulation is pretty decent on these, and I don’t mind getting a different Battle Droid after years and years of the Tan B1s.
And that’s it for Day 4 so far! Great to see a Prequel trilogy minifigure and a nice change of scene from the typical B1 Battle Droids that we normally get!
Check back to see what Day 5 brings tomorrow!
Day 5
Day 5 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar continues to impress with one of the most iconic land-based vehicles of all, the AT-AT. Best known for lumbering towards the Rebel Echo Base on the icy planet hoth, this micro version is immediately recognisable and a fun one to build.
The proportions and silhouette of this micro AT-AT is great and it’s yet another Original Trilogy vehicle for fans to enjoy. Also a nice and timely nod to Day 2’s Princess Leia’s Christmas sweater, with the AT-AT on it!
That’s it for Day 5 so far! Leia is so far incredibly impressed with the fleet of tiny LEGO Star Wars vehicles so far! Check back in to see what Day 6 brings!
Day 6
The 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar seems to be bursting at the seams with Greatest Hits, which has been nothing short of delightful each day! On Day 6, we get an excellent Y-Wing Starfighter!
Y-Wings are primarily used by the Rebels as a multirole starfighter, but is most commonly remembered for their bombing runs. It was also famously used by Anakin Skywalker in the Clone Wars, but this right here is the Rebel configuration from the Original Trilogy.
The model looks pretty good, although the proportions are a little off. I do wish that the support pylons were just a tad shorter, but it still looks recognisable and who doesn’t love a micro Y-Wing to swoosh around!
Now that it’s apparent that this year’s Advent Calendar is the Greatest Hits of Star Wars, I can’t wait to see what we get on Day 7! Check back tomorrow to celebrate the one week mark!
Day 7
On Day 7 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar we get a fantastic surprise, a Minikit! Fans of the LEGO Star Wars video games will immediately recognise these little collectibles that are hidden throughout levels of the game.
The design is spot on, and fans of the TT Games series will be incredibly happy to see this one pop out.
It’s quite a big surprise to see a LEGO Star Wars video game reference in the Advent Calendar, but if we’re celebrating all things LEGO Star Wars in this year’s Advent Calendar, it makes perfect sense for LEGO to also commemorate the video games, which have been an important pillar of LEGO Star Wars through the years.
What a fun surprise, and honestly, a refreshing build that demonstrates that Star Wars Advent Calendars can still surprise and delight fans of all kinds. Come back tomorrow to see what we get on Day 8!
Day 8
On Day 8 we get another iconic Star Wars vehicle with Jabba’s Sail Barge! The micro model here does a great job of capturing the Sail Barge’s unique silhouette, and I really like the technique of using the angled bars to give the sails a unique tilt.
This year of course gave us 75397 UCS Jabba’s Sail Barge, the definitive version of Jabba’s Sail Barge which I hope some of you were lucky enough to pick up when it launched in October.
Now that we’ve also established a pattern with the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar where each window commemorates a year by year milestone firsts of Star Wars sets starting with 1999’s X-Wing Starfighter, today is a nod to 2006’s 6210 Jabba’s Sail Barge which is its first appearance! Looking at the UCS Sail Barge today, it’s a marvel how far LEGO Star Wars has come.
With this Advent Calendar being an ode to LEGO Star Wars history, I can’t wait to see what we’ll get tomorrow for Day 9. I wonder what released in 2007 that we’ll celebrate!
Day 9
On Day 9 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, we get a model that needs no further introduction, the Millennium Falcon. Having built a lot of LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars, I REALLY like this particular variant – it looks chunky, pancakey and captures the silhouette of the Millennium Falcon well, with nice flourishes like the radar dish and mandibles.
I also like the round tile with stud on the top, which I think is a nod to the classic playset Millennium Falcon from the early days.
But following the pattern of celebrating each milestone year of LEGO Star Wars, today’s window puts us squarely in the year 2007, and today’s build is a homage to one of the most iconic LEGO Star Wars sets of all time 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon!
It was THE ultimate LEGO Star Wars set at the time, and till today remains the holy grail of most LEGO Star Wars fans and its undeniable the impact this set made when it released in 2007, and took the title of the biggest LEGO set ever made.
A monumental year for LEGO, and a fantastic celebration of this truly iconic set. Come back tomorrow to see what we get on Day 10!
Day 10
On Day 10 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar we get an Ahsoka Tano minifigure! This is the same version as the one from 75362 Ahsoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle, so if you don’t own that set, it’s a great bonus to pick this one up!
Anakin’s Padawan, affectionately known as Snips is a fan-favourite characters, and recently fronted the Ahsoka Disney+ live action series, so it’s great to see her in this year’s Advent Calendar.
She’s not exclusive, but Ahsoka’s printed detail on her legs, arms and Lekku (hairpiece), is immaculate and she’s a fantastic addition to the Advent Calendar lineup.
Today’s build is an homage of the year 2008, where Ahsoka Tano first made her debut as a LEGO minifigure in 7675 AT-TE Walker and 7680 The Twilight, and as you can see from the current version and the early variant with the large Clone Wars eyes, LEGO minifigure design sure has come a long way!
Come back tomorrow to see what we get on Day 11 and what homage we get to the year 2009!
Day 11
On Day 11 we get one of the most important capital ships of the Clone Wars with a Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser! The precursor to the Imperial Star Destroyer, these attack cruisers were employed by the Republic in the Prequels and is also one of the crown jewels of the LEGO Ultimate Collectors Series sets with 75367 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser.
The build is quite nice, with the dark red strip drawing your eye visually, and I like the clever use of headlight brick and slope for the shaping. We last got a Venator in the 2016 Star Wars Advent Calendar and I can say that this one is a significant improvement, with much better proportions.
Today’s build is a homage to 2009, specifically 8039 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser which is still a beloved set from LEGO’s Clone Wars era, and a fantastic tie-in to LEGO Star Wars heritage, with links to today’s enormous UCS sets.
Another cracker of the day and with the Venator, it really demonstrates the depth and breadth of LEGO Star Wars’ 25 years of history. Come back tomorrow to see what we get on Day 12!
Day 12
We continue on with LEGO Star Wars’ Prequel era with Day 12’s Emperor Palpatine’s Shuttle! This vehicle is officially known as the Theta-class T-2c shuttle and was a precursor to the better known Lambda-class T-4a shuttle from the Original Trilogy.
It borrows many of the same design features, namely the wings which can fold inwards in landing mode. In case you’re wondering the tile held in place by a clip is NOT an illegal technique! This has long been an acceptable build technique as tiles do not stress the clips as much as plates.
Today’s build is an homage to the year 2010, specifically set 8096 Emperor Palpatine’s Shuttle! You can see the prominent fin on the model, and the darker glass on the cockpit which is captured faithfully in today’s mini build.
That’s it for Day 12! Check back in tomorrow to see what we get for Day 13 as we enter into the 2010s!
Day 13
It’s Friday the 13th and today, we get another iconic Prequel-era ship with the Jedi T6 Shuttle! These transports were commonly used by the Jedi during the Clone Wars, and the white and red colours, as well as the ship’s unique flat or fin-shaped look was one of the more imaginative ship designs from that period.
The T6 Shuttle’s hallmark feature was the ability for the wings to swivel around the cockpit to change orientations, but alas, this model is static. I believe this is the first ever T6 Shuttle we’ve gotten in an Advent Calendar which is exciting, and I dream about LEGO potentially incorporating the swivel feature into a future model.
Today’s model is an ode to 2011’s 7931 Jedi T-6 Shuttle which was a beloved set from the Prequel era. Thanks to the Disney+ Ahsoka tv series, fans can now get a modern version of the set with 75362 Ahsoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle, sending us full circle!
Not a bad day, but really wish that this model could change forms. Come back tomorrow to see what we get on Day 14!
Day 14
The epic Clone Wars and Prequel era continues to be a rich source for builds with Day 14 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar giving us a Mandalorian Fang Fighter! The colours does point to this being Pre Vizsla‘s Kom’rk-class fighter, known as the Gauntlet, and I think this is the first build from this calendar to trip up a lot of people!
To me, the shape doesn’t quite capture the Gauntlet’s razor sharp lines and angles, with the mandibles looking a bit too squarish for me at this scale. There also isn’t enough of a gap between the cockpit and the wings, plus just like the T6 Shuttle, they are static and don’t fold up in landing mode unfortunately!
Here’s how it looks from the back.
Today’s build is an homage to the year 2012, with 9525 Pre Vizsla’s Mandalorian Fighter, a fantastic model that really defined the latter years of the Clone Wars era, featuring fan-favourite minifigure Pre Vizsla and his Darksaber.
Looking at this as a reference image, it really does undersell the model, which is a shame! Day 14 wins points for fun source material, but disappoints on execution.
Come back tomorrow to see what we get for Day 15!
Day 15
On Day 15 of the 2024 Star Wars Advent Calendar we get an army builder classic, the 501st Clone Trooper! The 501st Legion is one of the most beloved and well known Clone Trooper legions as they were under the command of General Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, and contained many notable Clones such as Captain Rex, Fives, Jesse and Echo.
As the 501st is one of the best known battalions, having more of these excellent minifigures will always be welcomed by LEGO Star Wars fans, and this particular version has been included in many sets such as the recent 75345 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack.
Today’s window is an homage to the year 2013, which saw the first Phase 2 501st Clone Trooper minifigure make his debut in 2 sets, 75004 Z-95 Headhunter and 75002 AT-RT!
As we get into the 2010s, it’s quite incredible to see the Prequel-era models and minifigures equal the number of Original Trilogy ones! Come back tomorrow to see what Day 16 gives us, and which side will tip the scales of balance!
Day 16
Christmas is less than 10 days away! The 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar continues to deliver with another iconic modern ship, with Day 16’s The Ghost! Fans of LEGO Star Wars Rebels will immediately recognise this modified VCX-100 light freighter piloted by Hera Syndulla, and the mini version here does a pretty good job of capturing The Ghost’s silhouette, as well the primary colours used on the top.
Here’s the look from the back.
Today’s build is an homage to 2014, which saw the debut of 75053 The Ghost, which wasn’t the most popular set when it came out, but after LEGO Star Wars fans slowly warmed to Dave Filoni’s Rebels series, this soon became a fan-favourite with this set being especially valuable if you happen to have one sealed!
Also fun fact, there are 2 Kanan Jarrus variants in the set, the more common Dark Brown Hair and Eyebrows version and the rarer Black Hair and Eyebrows version, which could potentially be worth hundreds! The black version was included in the first production run, before LEGO corrected it to dark brown for subsequent sets.
Another excellent set that celebrates the era of Star Wars that bridges the Prequel Era and Original Trilogy. Come back tomorrow to see what Day 16 gives us!
Day 17
On Day 17 we get a very familiar face with a Luke Skywalker minifigure! This version of Luke Skywalker is from Return of the Jedi, and just like his sister Leia, he also has a festive Christmas sweater with Lars Homestead, his home on Tatooine! I really love the twin suns as well.
On his back, there is a Sandcrawler and a Moisture Vaporator. There are 2 little red blobs boarding the Sandcrawler which is a very fun detail.
You might be scratching your head about what the significance Luke Skywalker has to the year 2015, but Day 17’s pays homage to the line of LEGO Star Wars Buildable Figures! 75110 Luke Skywalker first came out in 2015, and these constraction figures debuted to mixed reactions among fans, but they were a notable bit of innovation from the LEGO Star Wars designed team that tried to recapture the magic of Bionicle, but with a Star Wars twist!
Tomorrow kicks off the final 7 days of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar! I’m surprised we didn’t get anything from The Force Awakens, but I guess that’s what tomorrow is for! Come back to see what Day 18 brings!
Day 18
Wow so LEGO really isn’t going to acknowledge the Sequels Prequels huh? On Day 18 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar we get a U-Wing Starfighter, the bold Rebel starfighter that made its debut in the critically-acclaimed Rogue One, which is my favourite Star Wars movie of all time!
This little model looks a little blocky but manages to capture the U-wing’s distinct silhouette, as well as white, and yellow colour scheme well. I especially like the rods for the quad engines at the back. Like the T6 Shuttle, I do wish they’d manage to squeeze in some functions to make the wings swivel into flight mode, but it’s incredibly challenging to do so at this scale.
Day 18’s window looks back at the year 2016, the year Rogue One came out in the cinemas, and was accompanied by one of the best LEGO Star Wars subthemes yet. 75155 Rebel U-Wing Fighter was one such fine set, and as it was only 8 years ago, I’m sure this set is fresh in most fans minds!
That’s it for Day 18 so far! A memorable build from one of the best modern LEGO Star Wars movies! Come back tomorrow to see what we get for Day 19 and the year 2017!
Day 19
On Day 19 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, we swing right back into the Prequel era with Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter! The Jedi Starfighter’s shape has been decently captured here, with the prominent glass cockpit, and wings that arch downwards in the middle, as well a blue stud representing an Astromech Droid, likely R2-D2!
Quite a tricky model to get right at this scale, but the colours and distinct shape get the job done!
Day 19’s build celebrates the year 2017, which marks the first appearance of 75168 Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter! If you want something slightly more modern, there is a newer version currently available (although slated to retire soon!), 75360 Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter!
That’s it for Day 19! Only 5 days remain in the very excellent 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar! Come back tomorrow to see what Day 20’s window contains!
Day 20
On Day 20 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, we get a really cool minifigure, an Imperial Praetorian Guard! These bright red guards are elite soldiers, modelled after Emperor Palpatine’s Royal Guard, and feature a variety of energy melee weapons that can go toe to toe against lightsabers.
This version was from Moff Gideon’s Praetorian Guard, and this minifigure is the same one as the one from 75386 Paz Vizsla and Moff Gideon which came out earlier this year.
Here’s a look at his head, and back printing, which is excellent all around.
Day 20 is a bit of an odd one as today’s build celebrates a LEGO Star Wars first from the year 2018. 75216 Snoke’s Throne Room is the first time Elite Praetorian Guards first made an appearance as a LEGO Minifigure, but today’s minifigure is an Imperial Praetorian Guard, from The Mandalorian Season 3, which came out in 2023.
I guess it could be a representation of Praetorian Guards as a whole, but it feels like a bit of a stretch for me! That said, the Imperial Praetorian Guard is a neat minifigure, and I do like that this is kind of a Sequel Trilogy homage, but I do wish that we got a character that’s more important like Rey, or Kylo Ren.
An odd day, and one that will surely spark plenty of debate from Star Wars fans! Come back tomorrow to see what we get for Day 21 as we head into the year 2019!
Day 21
On Day 21 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, we get our first location build this year, with Darth Vader’s Castle! Darth Vader’s humble home is located on the Lava planet Mustafar where Anakin Skywalker was famously left for dead, burning into a pile of ash – just the place filled with happy memories that you’d obviously erect your living abode!
The build looks great and perfectly captures Anakin’s melodramatic residence with its two peaks, and fiery entryway. Don’t confuse this for an evil looking spaceship if you lay it flat!
Day 21’s build commemorates the year 2019, which is the first (and only!) time we’ve ever gotten Darth Vader’s Castle as a set. I really hope LEGO remake this again, potentially at a grander and more detailed scale.
That’s it for Day 21 so far! Only 3 days remain and I wonder how we’ll close out the Star Wars Advent Calendar!
Day 22
On Day 22 of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, we’re quickly approaching the current era of LEGO Star Wars sets with the Razor Crest! We’ve last had Razor Crest in the 2020 Star Wars Advent Calendar, and this one has a few tiny changes like a yellow tile on the side, instead of the tan accent that we got in the last one.
The biggest cosmetic change is the the flat tile on the back, which I think makes it looks a little slicker.
Day 22’s build is an homage to the year 2020. Some bad things happened in that year but we also got the game-changing Season 1 of The Mandalorian which introduced the Razor Crest, one of the most interesting new Star Wars ships, so I think this is the perfect encapsulation of Star Wars in 2020.
And that’s it for Day 22 so far! Only 2 days remain! Now I’m really curious how they end this Advent Calendar and if we’ll go out with a bang!
Day 23
On Day 23 we get a staple LEGO Star Wars set, Luke’s Landspeeder! One of the most ubiquitous LEGO Star Wars sets ever and one of the most recognisable vehicles from A New Hope, LEGO have done a splendid job with the proportions, colours and overall silhouette of this micro Landspeeder.
I especially love the use of round 1×1 studs to represent Luke Skywalker and C-3PO as they ride through Tatooine’s sandy dunes!
Day 23’s build is an ode to the year 2022, with 75341 UCS Luke’s Landspeeder being the very first time this iconic vehicle was treated to a Ultimate Collector’s Series display model. It’s a little odd that LEGO skipped past the year 2021, as a UCS Republic Gunship would’ve also made a fine model to include.
I do wonder why LEGO decided to skip 2021, but I guess with only 24 days, it was always inevitable that a day would be skipped. Sorry, Gunship fans!
That’s it for Day 23! I can’t believe December has flown by just like that and we’re finally at the end of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar! Check back tomorrow for the final build and a wrapup of what has been one of the most memorable LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars in recent times!
I hope, wherever you are in the world, you’re all ready to celebrate the holidays with family and loved ones!
Day 24
Welcome to the final day of the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar! Day 24 gives us a really interesting choice for the grand finale, with the Crimson Firehawk!
The Crimson Firehawk is quite an obscure ship from Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures, an animated series aimed at very young kids. Unless you have younger children, I’m sure most LEGO Star Wars fans would not be remotely aware of this, making this a fascinating choice to close off this year’s Star Wars Advent Calendar!
The ship itself is really well-designed, and it’s a really good take on the Crimson Firehawk. The red and white colour scheme is also suitably festive, which is why I’m guessing it was selected for the Christmas Eve build.
For the final day of this commemorative Star Wars Advent Calendar, we once again skip the year 2023, and jump to the present year (2024), with a nod to 75384 The Crimson Firehawk. As Young Jedi Adventures is aimed at very young kids, the set is a 4+ set, so again, most LEGO Star Wars fans would not have paid a lot of attention to it!
Final Thoughts
And that’s it for the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar! While Day 24’s ending feels a little underwhelming, mostly because we didn’t end on a festive/seasonal minifigure or build, and that it ended on a ship from a particularly niche piece of Star Wars Media, I really enjoyed this year’s Calendar!
The countdown celebrating 25 years of LEGO Star Wars was especially memorable, and I had a blast reminiscing about LEGO Star Wars history and so many classic LEGO Star Wars builds!
This was a really interesting twist, and I liked how much more focused on ships and builds this Star Wars Advent Calendar has been, complete with some really fun builds!
For highlights, these have been some of my favourite ship designs in this year’s Star Wars Advent Calendar. The retro X-Wing, U-Wing and Minikit were particularly memorable!
The minifigures in the 2024 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar have really felt like they were supporting characters this time around, but I think the mix was optimal with the right balance of army builders that you don’t mind getting multiples of and also exclusive Christmas-themed minifigures.
For collectors of LEGO Star Wars minifigures with Christmas sweaters, we get 2 excellent additions here with a Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker, complete with a Tatooine-themed sweater and also a Hoth-themed sweater for his sister Princess Leia!
These are my favourite Christmas sweaters so far, but after so many years of these Christmas Sweater variants, I wouldn’t mind going them going back to Santa-themed minfigures next year!
While this has been a LEGO Star Wars anniversary-themed calendar, I felt like there were several glaring omissions. While we used to joke about the dreaded Weapons Racks, I felt like not getting a Christmas-themed Weapons Rack was a big miss as they were such an integral part of LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars!
I also missed getting a Festive Gonk Droid which have been staples of recent LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars! That said, I understand why it might’ve been a challenge to squeeze them in, especially as the design team were also forced to skip over the years 2021 and 2023!
2024 is a milestone year for LEGO Star Wars as the theme celebrates its 25th anniversary, and this Advent Calendar being part of the celebrations has been incredibly enjoyable, and I think one of the best Star Wars Advent Calendars that we’ve gotten in recent years!
And that concludes another LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar countdown! I hope you’ve enjoyed following along, whether its your first time here, or you’ve been following since 2014! Thank you so much to everyone that’s been active in the comments section, and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
