Lego’s Smart Brick is here, and it transforms these new Star Wars sets

LEGO’s new Smart Brick is a huge deal. It packs a miniature computer, a microphone and NFC technology into a classic 2×4 Lego brick, which can power all kinds of new experiences with select sets. It has so much promise that we gave it a “Best in Show” award at CES 2026, and now, eight star wars-Themed sets that support Smart Brick (and in some cases include it) are now available.

Three of them include at least one smart brick with charging cradle and cable, while the rest are only “Smart Play compatible,” meaning they’re BYOB (bring your own brick). The NFC tags and interactivity of smart minifigures won’t be possible unless you already have one of LEGO’s fancy, computerized bricks. The cheapest set that includes a Smart Brick is Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter, priced at $69.99 at Amazon, Best Buy and LEGO’s online storefront, while the most expensive set – the Throne Room Duel and A-Wing Set – is available with two Smart Bricks at Amazon, Best Buy and LEGO for $159.99.

Below, we’ve listed each set with useful information about the included smart (and standard) components.
