For many years, the LEGO Star Wars theme has been a cornerstone of The LEGO Group’s portfolio. Year after year, it has been listed as one of their bestselling themes within the company’s financial reports. The enthusiasm for sets embodying the characters and vehicles from a galaxy far, far away has remained strong, and as such, The LEGO Group has been able to pursue a variety of different product subthemes under the Star Wars branding. From the giant Ultimate Collector Series sets, to the many minifigure-scale models, to tiny Microfighters, there is a product for every fan and demographic.
This article will explore some of the smallest LEGO Star Wars sets released: the Microfighters. Beginning in 2014, Microfighters provided fans the opportunity to collect many of their favorite icons from the Star Wars universe at a very manageable price-point and scale (most were $10 and included around 100 pieces). Because the scale of these sets was so small, highly detailed models were simply not possible. As a result, The LEGO Group instead embraced a type of humor and impossibility with these sets.
This idea was driven home by the inclusion of a minifigure that rode atop the Microfighter, often blatantly disregarding where characters would normally pilot their ship (or the fact that the minifigures were regularly far too large for their ride). In this way, the Microfighters were a comical and fun corner of the LEGO Star Wars portfolio, a humorous spot in a theme that has generally been designed with great care for accuracy.
Microfighter sets have been churning off the assembly lines on a yearly basis ever since their introduction in 2014. While the number and frequency of the sets have declined over the years, The LEGO Group has given no indication that the subtheme is being discontinued any time soon and at least one release is being expected for 2023. But which models have already been made into Microfighters? Let’s take a look at all the LEGO Star Wars Microfighter sets that have been released so far!

Things took a turn in 2018 when The LEGO Group decided to make dual packs for the microfighters, featuring two models that opposed each other in a similar setting.
