Before the licensing agreement, Lego only created former construction sets. With the popularity of both the Star Wars world and the Lego toys, it was a natural union for both. The licensing trade opened up the possibilities for Lego and since then, any other beloved movies have been licensed with Lego including Batman, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter.
The first kits released were in conjunction with lesson I: The Phantom Menace in 1999. Three series of sets were released, the greatest Collectors Series, Mini-sets and Technic Sets. There were troubles with some of the earlier kits with complaints that they were difficult to assemble and fell apart easily. Lego re-released those kits after a redesign. Each movie release since then has seen the corresponding release of any series of new kits.
Lego did not only convert the face of Star Wars but Star Wars changed the face of Lego, literally. Traditionally all of the mini-figs faces in Lego history were yellow in color including the first year kits. After that, Lego made the faces of the mini-figs in dissimilar colors to reflect the color of the actor who portrayed the character in the films.
