Death Star II

Death Star II recreates the Empire's second battle station from the Star Wars saga as a compact LEGO® display model. Released in 2023, the set totals 289 pieces across just 60 unique parts, comes with no minifigures, and is clearly designed as a shelf piece rather than a play set.

Description

A famous shape in miniature

The second Death Star is one of the most recognisable structures in Star Wars, central to the climactic battle at the end of the original trilogy. At 289 pieces, this model naturally simplifies that sphere, but still captures its recognisable silhouette, including the distinctive unfinished section on its surface. For anyone without room for a large-scale build, this set offers a practical way to display the shape without dedicating significant shelf space to it.

Grey tones with sharp contrast

Light bluish grey, black, dark bluish grey and tan make up the colour scheme, giving the model the metallic, industrial look expected of a battle station. The two grey tones cover most of the sphere and add depth and structure, black picks out contrast around recesses and details, and tan appears sparingly as a warmer accent. This restrained, technical palette sets the set apart from the brighter themes found elsewhere in the LEGO® range. The parts list on this page shows exactly how those four colours spread across the 289 pieces.

60 parts building a sphere

60 unique parts across 289 pieces points to a build focused on repeated shapes coming together into a rounded structure, rather than a wide range of specialised elements. That's typical of models built around a clean geometric form, and it gives the build a steadier, more repetitive rhythm than a set full of varied detail pieces. Anyone wanting to check the exact composition, or needing a replacement piece, will find each of the 60 parts listed individually on this page.

Built for the shelf, not for play

With no minifigures included, the focus sits entirely on the model itself rather than on any accompanying scene or characters. That makes Death Star II a set aimed mainly at Star Wars fans and collectors after a compact, decorative piece for a desk or shelf. Its small footprint also makes it an easy addition alongside other ships or structures from a wider LEGO® Star Wars collection, without demanding much extra space.
