<h2 id="background">Background</h2>
<p>Lego’s UCS line, launched in 2000, produces large, display-grade models of iconic Star Wars starships. Past UCS sets include the Millennium Falcon and Star Destroyer. The N-1 starfighter first appeared in <em>Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace</em> and was revived in <em>The Mandalorian</em>, where Mando upgrades to the modified version.</p>
<p>Industry analyst Rebecca Stone of ToyInsights noted: 'Lego strategically ties UCS releases to fan events like Star Wars Day. Combining the Darksaber — a prop with deep lore — is a smart move to drive urgency.'</p><figure style="margin:20px 0"><img src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/g7z5ZnhisaYLpzYD4Vs4zc-2133-80.jpg" alt="Star Wars Day: Lego Unveils Ultimate Collector Series N-1 Starfighter, Free Darksaber Model with Pre-Order" style="width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:8px" loading="lazy"><figcaption style="font-size:12px;color:#666;margin-top:5px">Source: www.space.com</figcaption></figure>
<h2 id="what-this-means">What This Means</h2>

<p>Lego warned that supplies are 'extremely constrained' for the free gift. 'We expect the offer to expire within hours,' a Lego spokesperson said. 'Fans should act fast on May 4.'</p>

<p>Orders open at midnight Pacific Time on May 4 through Lego.com and official Lego stores. There is no limit per household, but only one Darksaber per purchase. International shipping is available, but customs delays may affect delivery.</p>
