As part of LEGO Star Wars’ 25th anniversary, a new wave of adult sets is being released. Rather than the typical minifigure-sized models, LEGO is releasing a trio of Star Wars midi-scale ships, complete with their own plaques and display stands perfect for desks and bookshelves. This includes a ground-breaking ship from the prequels, one that should prove to be very appealing to collectors and fans of Revenge of the Sith.
Continuing the release of The Executor (75356) in 2023, LEGO is now releasing more midi-scale ships including Millennium Falcon (75375), Tantive IV (75376), and Invisible Hand (75377) with all three geared towards older collectors of the galaxy far, far away. However, The Invisible Hand in particular is quite notable given its status as a rare prequel-era ship that has never been made into a LEGO set before in any form:
Name | Piece Count | Price | Minifigures | Ages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
The Invisible Hand | 557 | $49.99 | 0 | 18+ |
With a more affordable price compared to the other two midi-scale ships, The Invisible Hand is one of LEGO’s more exciting 25th-anniversary sets thus far, an exciting addition to any Star Wars collection.
How To Watch Star Wars Movies In Order
Here is how to watch all Star Wars movies and TV shows chronologically and in order of release, and how each fits into the Star Wars timeline.
The Invisible Hand In Star Wars Canon Explained
General Greivous’ Flagship
The Invisible Hand was a modified Providence-class Dreadnought that served as the flagship of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Although it originally belonged to Viceroy Nute Gunray of the Trade Federation, General Grievous demanded the ship shortly after he took command of the Separatist droids armies in the service of Count Dooku. Given its sheer size (1,088 meters long, 198 meters wide, and 347 meters tall), it makes sense that a minifigure-sized version of the ship has never been made, making the midi-scale style perfect, just as it was for The Executor which was canonically 19,000 meters long.
The Invisible Hand was notably featured in the opening scene of Revenge of the Sith during the Battle of Coruscant. Having kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were dispatched to rescue him. This resulted in The Invisible Hand being torn in two gigantic pieces with Anakin successfully piloting the front half in a controlled crash landing on the surface of Coruscant. The LEGO Invisible Hand can notably be split in two as well.
Is LEGO Doing More Prequel Sets In 2024?
The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary
LEGO is also celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace. To that end, The Invisible Hand won’t be the only prequel-era LEGO set that will be released in 2024 which should prove to be very exciting. It’s always fun when LEGO explores multiple eras in the same years, giving all kinds of Star Wars collectors a strong variety with several great options to choose from.
