New LEGO Star Wars 2024 set includes the Easter egg you expected – and one you didn't

One of the newly-revealed LEGO Star Wars 25th-anniversary sets includes the Easter egg we all expected – but also a bonus reference nobody saw coming.

The LEGO Group established not one, but two precedents with 75356 Executor Super Star Destroyer in 2023. The first was the return of the midi-scale line of LEGO Star Wars ships, on a black brick-built display stand that’s now carried over to this year’s 75375 Millennium Falcon, 75376 Tantive IV and 75377 Invisible Hand. The second was an Easter egg buried inside the model.

For the Executor, that came in the form of Darth Vader and the band of bounty hunters he recruits to track down the Millennium Falcon, represented in the smallest form imaginable: 1x1 round plates. The same trick has carried over to at least 75375 Millennium Falcon, in which you’ll find tiny versions of Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2, as shown in official images.

So while the product listings for 75377 Invisible Hand haven’t given away the Revenge of the Sith ship’s internal Easter eggs, most of us were expecting it to include – at a minimum – some kind of representation for Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Interceptors, which the Jedi crash-land in the cruiser’s hangar during the Battle of Coruscant.

YouTuber MandRproductions has procured an early review copy of the set, confirming that the 557-piece midi-scale model does indeed include yellow and dark red 1x1 plates inside to represent Anakin and Obi-Wan’s starfighters. It’s the reference we all guessed would be there. But the LEGO Star Wars team hasn’t stopped at those two ships.

In fact, the interior of 75377 Invisible Hand also includes a tiny three-piece Multi-Troop Transport (MTT), which could apparently be seen in the background of the hangar in Revenge of the Sith. It’s a blink-and-you-miss-it shot, so all the points to the LEGO Star Wars team for their attention to detail on that one. The instruction manual for the set says the tiny MTT is included to ‘highlight the scale of the build’.

That instruction manual, by the way, includes running commentary from R2-D2 on different stages of the build, which is pretty cool to see. You’ll be able to check it out for yourself from March 1 when 75377 Invisible Hand starts shipping from LEGO.com. It’s available to pre-order right now.
