Generations of “Star Wars” fans will soon have a challenging way to prove their love for the franchise: Lego’s Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon.
A replica of the spaceship that took characters like Han Solo and Chewbacca across a galaxy “far, far away” will be Lego’s largest (7,541-pieces) and most expensive ($799.99) toy ever.
The company confirmed the milestone on Thursday with a YouTube video for its 3.2 million fans.

“The largest set in LEGO history just might make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs,” the company said in a statement, a reference to director George Lucas’ “Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope.”
The announcement comes just ahead of “Force Friday” on Sept. 1, when a slew of retailers will release products related to the films.
“The set also comes with seven minifigures: Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia and C-3PO from the original trilogy and an older Han Solo, Rey and Finn from ’The Force Awakens,’” The Hollywood Reported added Thursday. “There’s also a BB-8, two buildable Porgs and Manock (the last two of which will be introduced in December’s The Last Jedi).”
