The verdict

I opened the first door expecting the usual grab bag of random ships and blasters, and instead got a genuine walk through Star Wars history, each day tied to a real year the franchise released something.

That structure is what won me over. It is not a flashy set and nobody is going to call the builds impressive on their own, but as a countdown experience it has more soul than most advent calendars LEGO puts out. If you or your family actually follow the Star Wars timeline, the daily reveal lands differently when you know why that ship showed up on that day.

Best for: Star Wars completionists and families who want December to feel like an event, not just a chocolate substitute

The full review

What it is

I will admit I went in skeptical of another Star Wars advent calendar, I have opened enough of these to know the formula gets stale. What changed my mind here is the concept behind door 75395. Instead of a random spread of ships and gift-wrapped blasters, each day corresponds to an actual year in Star Wars release history, so you are unwrapping a small piece of the saga's timeline rather than filler. Getting to the 501st Clone Trooper on one day and a Praetorian Guard a few doors later actually means something once you clock what the calendar is doing.

The catch

I have to be honest about where it falls short too. Brick Fanatics called out the gap between the 25th anniversary marketing and what actually ships in the box, and they are not wrong, most of the daily builds are the same scale of tiny ship or vehicle you would find in any other year's calendar. There is only one proper little scene tucked in among the ships, so if you were hoping for a string of cute vignettes like some Friends or City calendars deliver, you will find this one leaner than that. And with 368 pieces spread across 24 doors, do not expect anything past a few minutes of building each day.

Who it's for

For the Star Wars household that treats December as saga season, this is an easy yes, the minifig lineup alone (adult Ahsoka with printed arms, sweater Luke and Leia) makes it worth the RRP. If you are shopping for someone who wants meaty builds or elaborate scenes every day, look at one of the City or Friends calendars instead and let this one go to the fans who will actually appreciate the timeline gimmick.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

Building this one is less about the bricks and more about the reveal, each door takes only a couple of minutes so the real activity is figuring out what year you just unwrapped and why LEGO picked it. The small ships and vehicles use fairly standard parts for their scale, nothing revolutionary, but a few of the microbuilds punch above their brick count once you see what they are supposed to represent.

The minifigures are where the value sits. An adult Ahsoka Tano with printed arms is a nice inclusion for Clone Wars and Rebels fans, and the holiday sweater versions of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia are the kind of cheeky exclusive that makes advent calendar completionists happy every year. A 501st Legion Clone Trooper and a Super Battle Droid round out the darker side of the roster, giving the whole thing a decent spread across the prequel and original trilogy eras rather than leaning on one corner of the saga.

Fun facts

01The 2024 calendar breaks from the usual random format, LEGO built it so each of the 24 doors represents a specific year in Star Wars Lego history, turning the countdown into a mini retrospective for the franchise's 25th anniversary.
02It includes an adult Ahsoka Tano minifigure with printed arms, a detail collectors specifically look for since so many Ahsoka figures reuse plain limb pieces.
03Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia both get holiday sweater variants, a tradition LEGO has kept alive across several years of Star Wars advent calendars.
04Despite the 25th anniversary branding, reviewers including Brick Fanatics noted the contents themselves are mostly standard-scale mini builds rather than anything anniversary-exclusive.
