The Definitive List of the Top Ten Best LEGO Star Wars Minifigures

There have been three minifigures of Leia in her Jabba Slave outfit and they're fan favourites. This version was released in 2013 in the Jabba's Sail Barge (75020). We recently got a remake of this minifigure in the UCS Jabba's Sail Barge (75397), so it will be interesting to see what position that minifigure climbs too. This minifigure moves into the top 10 this month, up one place from 11th.

The first of two Darth Vaders in the top ten is this version from 2023 who appeared in four sets. It's identical to the other Darth Vader in this list except it features a different head piece.This is another new entry into the top ten this month, up 6 places from 15th.

This is the only minifigure of the Darth Malgus and is a fantastic looking minifigure for its time, having been released back in 2012. The printing on the head and shoulder/chest piece are fantastic and he has a nice fabric cape. The detailing on the legs and torso are also not too shabby. Darth Malgus has slipped three places since last month, from 4th down to 7th.

Just outside the top five is Moroff (sw0824), who is one of the more distinctive Star Wars minifigures. This mercenary appeared in Rogue One and was included in the Y-Wing Starfighter set from 2017. It has a unique head mould that comes all the way down to the legs and some excellent printing. This is definitely one I'd also have in my top ten.

The Grand Inquisitor is a minifigure from the Inquisitor Transport Scythe (75336) set released in 2022. The continuous print across the torso looks really nice and LEGO nailed the depiction of this character. It’s not the most detailed, but it is very accurate to the source material.

The highest rated Sith Lord is Darth Maul and this minifigure appeared in two sets between 2021 and 2022. It features some of the most impressive printing on any Darth Maul minifigure. The use of gun metal grey was a great choice and the section of red skin on this torso looks very cool.

This Phase 2 Commander Cody minifigure was long-awaited by Star Wars fans and LEGO finally delivered him in 2022. Cody's leg and torso printing look great and are very accurate to the source material. Undoubtedly the popularity of this character has helped propel this minifigure into the top three.

The Padmé Amidala from 2012 is one of the most unique Star Wars minifigures out there and a firm fan favourite because of it. The headdress is brilliantly done and features some exquisite detail. Her long sweeping dress is also captured very well and there's some nice gold printing on the front of the torso. LEGO really went to town on this minifigure and I think it fully deserves its place in the top ten.

The latest Cad Bane minifigure from 2023 currently takes the top spot and has done so for some time now. This minifigure featured a new slim-lined hat piece that improved significantly over previous versions. The other notable upgrade was the ventilator that sits between the head and torso and joins seamlessly to the face. The head piece is also a nice metallic grey. There's some great printing across the whole minifigure and it's easily the best depiction of the legendary bounty hunter.
