There has been an awakening. Have you felt it? Not only did the force awaken in cinemas last December, but the whole Star Wars franchise has been reinvigorated as a result, making Han, Luke, Leia, Chewie, R2 D2 and the rest household names once more.

With the iconic Star Wars universe and its characters back in its rightful place at the forefront of the pop culture consciousness it’s no surprise that we’re seeing more and more spin-offs and offshoots becoming popular, such as LEGO Star Wars.

Both LEGO and Star Wars have been capturing the imaginations of the young and the old for decades now, so the team up is a match made in heaven. The LEGO Star Wars magazine is the latest platform for the crossover, which also includes toy sets and video games.

Inside the LEGO Star Wars magazine readers will find hilarious versions of their favourite heroes, with the regular comic book story taking Leia, Luke, Obi Wan and others on a galactic mission to thwart Darth Vader and the evil Empire.

As well as the fun and easy to follow, humorous, story there’s also LEGO Star Wars posters, character fact files and free gifts including exclusive LEGO Star Wars minifigures.
