LEGO Star Wars collectors may have a major Prequel-era release to watch in 2027. Anakin Skywalker’s Eta-2 Jedi Interceptor is reportedly being developed as an Ultimate Collector Series set for August, marking the first time this recurring spacecraft would receive LEGO’s flagship collector treatment. The report is still unconfirmed, so fans deciding whether to wait for a premium version should treat the information as a leak rather than a finalized announcement.
What changed for LEGO’s Anakin Interceptor
According to LEGO leaker BuggyLeaks, the rumored UCS model carries product number 75484 and the straightforward name Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor. It is reportedly planned for an August 2027 launch and is expected to carry an 18+ designation, consistent with LEGO’s adult-focused UCS range.
The spacecraft is Anakin’s Eta-2 Jedi Interceptor, the compact starfighter he pilots during the Battle of Coruscant in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. It should not be confused with the Delta-7 and Delta-7B Jedi starfighters associated with earlier stories, including Anakin’s appearances in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Who should wait for the rumored release
Collectors who want a large, display-oriented version of Anakin’s Prequel-era starfighter have the clearest reason to follow this report. LEGO has already produced eight sets containing versions of the Eta-2 across seven distinct builds, beginning with the 2005 releases 6966 Jedi Starfighter and 7256 Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid.
Later versions appeared in 2012, twice in 2014, as a 2019 polybag, and in 2020. Set 7283 Ultimate Space Battle also reused the yellow Interceptor design from 7256. However, none of those models belonged to the UCS line. That history makes 75484 potentially significant even if it is not the first LEGO Star Wars UCS Jedi starfighter overall.
What may come next in the 2027 lineup
The reported UCS model may not be LEGO’s only Anakin Interceptor release in 2027. A separate leak lists set 75464, called Anakin Skywalker’s Jedi Starfighter, as a much smaller Eta-2 model with 160 pieces and a January release plan. If both reports are accurate, shoppers could see a compact standard release earlier in the year and a collector-focused model in August.
The August timing also echoes the launch window of 75281 Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor, which arrived in August 2020. Other insider reports point to additional 2027 UCS projects, including a TIE Advanced prototype and a new Millennium Falcon, reportedly planned for May and October. The larger wave may connect to Star Wars’ 50th anniversary year, although LEGO has not confirmed these plans.
What readers should know
- Set 75484 is reportedly the first UCS version of Anakin’s Eta-2 Jedi Interceptor.
- The alleged launch window is August 2027, but LEGO has not officially confirmed the set.
- A separate 160-piece Eta-2 model, set 75464, is rumored for January 2027.
- The Eta-2 is different from Obi-Wan’s UCS Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter released in 2010.
- Existing Eta-2 sets include releases from 2005, 2012, 2014, 2019, and 2020.
Expert View
This is a notable rumor for collectors because the Eta-2 has repeatedly returned to LEGO Star Wars without entering the UCS range. The reported product number, timing, and possible companion set create a coherent picture, but they remain unverified. Fans should monitor official LEGO details before making purchase plans, especially since the final design, piece count, price, and availability have not been provided.
