Lego adds Mandalorian, Dark Trooper and Luke Skywalker pilot headgear to Star Wars helmet collection

Star Wars Dark Trooper helmet on display

Lego has added three new character designs to its popular Star Wars helmet collection, and we’re loving them. Fans of the franchise can now build and display hero Luke Skywalker’s pilot headgear, show allegiance to The Mandalorian or tap into their dark side with a Dark Trooper helmet. 

Presented as both an immersive building experience, and as an executive display piece when completed, the sets are as rich in detail as their predecessors. Star Wars Luke Skywalker helmet features a brick-built microphone, translucent red visor elements and nameplate, while the Mandalorian’s helmet uses metallic Lego elements to recreate the shine of Beskar armour.

Those who relish their more ruthless edge can show loyalty to the Imperial Remnant, with the Lego Star Wars Dark Trooper helmet, translucent red Lego elements and white bricks recreating the Dark Trooper’s shining red eyes.

The new models join a line-up that also includes Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper and TIE fighter pilot, and are available to pre-order now, before officially launching March 1.  They’re priced at £54.99 each.
