While many Star Wars enthusiasts have embraced the mature storytelling of series like Andor, a great deal of the fandom remains captivated by the simple joy of building. Whether it’s collecting intricate minifigures, countdown calendars, or detailed display busts of icons like Darth Vader and The Mandalorian, the appeal of the brick is universal. While the community continues to lobby for dedicated Andor LEGO sets, there is a different kind of excitement on the horizon. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a custom LEGO lightsaber, that wish is about to be granted—provided you are located in the UK.

LEGO has a long-standing tradition of hosting “make-and-take” events, allowing fans to visit retail locations and build exclusive models to take home for free. The next installment of this program is scheduled for March 7 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and March 8 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Attendees at select locations will have the opportunity to assemble their own lightsaber, a perfect addition to any Star Wars collection.

However, there are a few important caveats to keep in mind. These free Star Wars kits are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning you’ll want to arrive early before the limited stock evaporates. The most significant restriction is that this event is currently exclusive to participating stores within the United Kingdom. For fans in North America and other regions, it appears you’ll have to sit this one out for now. Prospective builders can confirm if their local branch is participating by visiting the official LEGO store locator.

While the current giveaway is geographically limited, a high turnout in the UK could signal a broader international rollout in the future. For the time being, British fans can mark their calendars for early March—the moment where the fun begins.
