LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon Joins Early Prime Day Deal, and It's a 25th Anniversary Collectible Model
To Luke Skywalker, it's a piece of junk. To Lando Calrissian, it's a poker hand gone bad. To Han and Chewie and every Star Wars fan alive, the Millennium Falcon is an icon, and now to LEGO Star Wars enthusiasts, it's a beautifully detailed displayable model aimed at adults age 18 and up. It's also a great deal at Amazon, where you can get this advanced 921-piece rendition of the Millennium Falcon for just $68 as part of the ongoing celebration of LEGO Star Wars' 25th anniversary. The LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon A New Hope 25th Anniversary Collectible Model normally sells for $85, but this Amazon deal taking 20% off the price is the perfect opportunity for adult Star Wars fans of any age to relive their LEGO-building youth, and then have an impressive collectible and conversation piece to proudly display. See at Amazon We're used to LEGO sets showing incredible attention to detail, especially the LEGO Star Wars ones, but these 25th anniversary collectible models take it to a whole new level. Make no mistake, these aren't playable toys loaded with mini-figures and spring-action guns firing little projectiles — these are advanced buildable kits. The Falcon has 921 pieces that come together to form a faithful rendition of the famous ship at 5 by 9.5 by 7.5 inches in size. It's not huge, but the detail is incredible. All the familiar parts of the ship — the cockpit, the huge rear engine that throws it into hyperdrive (when it works; Luke may have had a point), cannons, and more — are represented, along with a specially designed stand with a LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon nameplate and special LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary brick denoting its rare collectible status. The stand allows you to pose the Falcon at dynamic angles so it looks like it's in action, making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. The extraordinary nostalgic power of Star Wars is bigger than ever nearly 50 years after the release of the first movie in 1977, so the legions of adult fans almost certainly surpasses that of the kid generation. The LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary kits are aimed squarely at those adult fans, who get the chance to enjoy the relaxation of spending time building these kits and then savoring the approving comments once they're finished and displayed. There are dozens of adult-oriented LEGO Star Wars kits available as part of this anniversary celebration, from Jabba's Sail Barge to large, realistic helmets of Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, and others. But we're partial to the Millennium Falcon, the centerpiece of so much of the lore of the Star Wars universe, especially when Amazon's selling it for 20% off — just $68. See at Amazon

A$AP x Star Wars? Find out which rapper auditioned to play Lando Calrissian
The Force was almost with A$AP Rocky. The Grammy-nominated rapper previously auditioned to play the role of Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story. In an interview with Variety, Rocky shared his brutally honest review of his tryout for Star Wars. Recommended Videos 'I auditioned for Star Wars, and my audition was trash,' Rocky told Variety. 'I was trash that day.' The role ultimately went to Donald Glover, who also goes by his musical stage name, Childish Gambino. While Solo failed critically and financially, Glover received positive reviews for his performance, with Rocky being one of his biggest supporters. 'My man Childish Gambino was a way better Lando than I would've provided at that time,' Rocky explained. 'And I think he looked a little more like [Billy Dee Williams] than me.' Despite the failed audition, Rocky would happily take another shot at joining the Star Wars universe. Released in 2018, Solo starred Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, a smuggler who will one day become a hero for the Rebel Alliance in the battle against the Galactic Empire. Solo takes place approximately 10 years before Star Wars: A New Hope and chronicles the dangerous heist involving the Kessel Run. The movie introduces Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo), Han's eventual co-pilot, and Lando, the cunning smuggler who lends him the iconic Millennium Falcon. Billy Dee Williams originated the role of Lando in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Williams later reappeared as Lando in The Rise of Skywalker. In December 2020, Lucasfilm announced a Lando limited series at Disney+. Three years later, Stephen Glover, Donald's brother and collaborator, revealed Lando had shifted from a TV show to a movie. The movie remains in development. Rocky will next be seen in Highest 2 Lowest, Spike Lee's crime thriller starring Denzel Washington. The movie will premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Highest 2 Lowest opens in theaters on August 22 and streams on Apple TV+ on September 5. Please enable Javascript to view this content
