Does Droid Commander include any minifigures?

No, the set is entirely droid-based, with three buildable droids and no minifigures.

Which droids can you build?

The set is modelled on R2-D2 along with a Gonk droid and a Mouse droid from the Star Wars films.

Do you need the app to use this set?

You can build the models without it, but the app is needed for full movement control and the basic programming features.

Droid Commander

Droid Commander is an interactive 2019 LEGO® Star Wars set built around three motorised droids rather than a single vehicle or scene. With 1,177 pieces and 351 unique parts, it's a far more mechanical build than a typical Star Wars playset, and it ships without any minifigures.

Description

Three droids, no minifigures

Instead of the usual minifigure crew, Droid Commander gives you three buildable droid models based on R2-D2 alongside a smaller Gonk droid and a Mouse droid from the Star Wars films. That shifts the focus away from a typical play scene and towards the mechanics of movement, sensors and app control, which makes the set feel closer to a robotics kit than a standard Star Wars vehicle. The restrained grey, black and white colour scheme matches all three droids' real on-screen finishes. That technical focus makes it one of the more unusual Star Wars sets released that year, closer to a robotics starter kit than a play scene.

What's driving the mechanics

Underneath the droid shells sits a motorised drivetrain with sensor input that connects to a companion app, with basic programming options layered on top of simple remote control. That functional layer explains the relatively high part count of 351 unique elements within 1,177 pieces overall: alongside standard bricks there are gears, axles and electronic components that a similarly sized playset without motors wouldn't need at all.

Who the set suits

Because it leans on app control and moving mechanics rather than a static scene, Droid Commander appeals more to builders interested in basic coding and robotics than to collectors chasing a display-ready Star Wars diorama. All three droids can be driven individually or together once built, which extends play well beyond the initial construction. Anyone expecting classic minifigures should note this set is droids-only from start to finish, with no human characters at all. For families taking their first steps into basic coding, it offers an accessible entry point without needing a dedicated learning-robot kit.

Checking the part breakdown

The full parts list on this page breaks down every one of the 351 unique elements by colour, making it easy to see just how many specialised mechanical pieces the set uses compared with a same-sized non-motorised build. That's useful for anyone tracking down spare gears or axles, or checking a second-hand set for missing functional parts before buying it secondhand.
