LEGO Unveils Jango Fett’s Firespray: A Centerpiece for May the 4th Star Wars Celebration

LEGO has officially revealed one of the most ambitious Star Wars sets to date — Jango Fett’s Firespray — arriving just in time for May the 4th, 2025. Alongside eight other Star Wars-themed releases, this set leads LEGO’s celebration of the galaxy far, far away. With a significant upgrade in design, scale, and build complexity, this release isn’t just a nostalgic nod to fans; it’s a collector’s centerpiece.

This detailed overview will explore everything you need to know: from the design philosophy and set specifications to collector value and broader trends in the LEGO Star Wars universe.


A Legacy Reimagined: From Slave I to Firespray

The ship formerly known as Slave I has deep roots in Star Wars canon, primarily associated with bounty hunters Jango and Boba Fett. In 2021, Disney and LEGO officially rebranded the vessel as Firespray, aligning with evolving brand values and inclusivity principles.

While the name may be new, the ship’s cultural and narrative impact remains unchanged. Jango Fett’s Firespray is still recognized as one of the most formidable starships in the Star Wars saga, featuring heavily in Episode II: Attack of the Clones. This LEGO release brings that cinematic history to life in an unprecedented way.


Set Overview: Jango Fett's Firespray (2025 Edition)

Key Specifications:

  • Total Pieces: 2,970

  • Dimensions: 17.5” (L) x 15.5” (W) x 7.5” (H)

  • Release Date: May 1, 2025

  • Retail Price: $299.99 USD

  • Set Number: [TBD by LEGO]

This isn’t just a redesign. It’s a complete overhaul that offers a far richer and more immersive building experience compared to the previous 2019 version of the ship, which included just over 1,000 pieces.


Advanced Design and Build Architecture

The set is engineered for both display and interaction. Here's what builders can expect:

1. Precision Detailing and Movie Accuracy

Using nearly 3,000 pieces, LEGO has recreated every angle, contour, and panel from the version of the ship seen in Attack of the Clones. This includes functional design elements such as:

  • Cockpit rotation

  • Adjustable stabilizer wings

  • Engine port detailing

  • Interior cargo space and weapon storage

2. Fully Realized Interior

Unlike many previous Star Wars sets, Jango Fett’s Firespray features a detailed, accessible interior. Builders can remove panels to explore multiple cabin sections including the pilot seat, bounty storage area, and tech console rooms.

3. Functional Features and Playability

  • Rotating Dual Blasters – Mounted under the ship for combat stances.

  • Seismic Charge Deployment System – A LEGO-built mechanism mimics the seismic blasts from the film.

  • Adjustable Landing Gear – Transform the ship for both flight and landing display modes.


Display Options: Built for Collectors

This model is clearly designed with adult collectors and display in mind:

  • Comes with a custom black display stand, allowing the ship to be showcased upright in “flying” mode.

  • Includes a printed info plaque that outlines the Firespray’s specs and history.

  • The design allows for modular adjustments, so fans can customize the display angle and mode to suit different environments — shelves, desktops, or dedicated LEGO displays.


Minifigures: Exclusive Inclusions

The set features two highly detailed, exclusive minifigures:

  • Jango Fett – Includes updated helmet mold, printed armor with weathering effects, and dual blasters.

  • Young Boba Fett – Based on his appearance in Attack of the Clones, complete with printed torso and a small buildable tool rack.

Both minifigures are unique to this set, enhancing the collectible value for long-term LEGO investors and Star Wars completists alike.


Strategic Pricing and Availability

  • Price: $299.99 USD

  • Release Date: May 1, 2025

  • Purchase Options: LEGO.com and certified LEGO retailers

  • VIP Early Access: Expected 48 hours prior to general release

LEGO enthusiasts and Star Wars fans are advised to monitor the LEGO VIP program for early access and promotional bundles during the Star Wars Day celebration period.


Why This Set Matters: Cultural and Collector Value

LEGO Star Wars has matured far beyond a toy line. Sets like this represent the intersection of design, nostalgia, storytelling, and engineering. Jango Fett’s Firespray, in particular, resonates with collectors for the following reasons:

  • It's tied to one of the most iconic bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe.

  • It showcases LEGO’s next-gen design capabilities — from mechanical functionality to modular interior layouts.

  • It reflects a collectible trend: Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series (UCS)-style builds that double as art.

Whether you're buying to build, display, or invest, this set delivers on all fronts.


The Bigger Picture: What This Means for LEGO Star Wars

This release is not an isolated event. It reflects LEGO’s broader strategic direction:

Key Trends:

  • Larger, more detailed builds targeting adult builders

  • Increased storytelling in packaging and instructions

  • Deeper collaborations with Lucasfilm and Disney

  • Inclusive brand evolution, as reflected in naming conventions

We expect more prequel-era ships and characters in future releases, possibly revisiting underrepresented parts of the Star Wars timeline.


Final Thoughts: Should You Buy Jango Fett’s Firespray?

If you are a Star Wars fan, serious LEGO collector, or someone looking for a high-end display piece — this set is absolutely worth the investment. With its blend of functional features, lore accuracy, and build complexity, it sits comfortably alongside LEGO’s most acclaimed Star Wars sets.
