LEGO AT-ST Attack on Endor (75424) Review: Wicket Steals the Show

⭐ Introduction — Two Logs and a Very Committed Ewok

⭐ This review is part of our LEGO Star Wars Hub – every set we have built and graded, in one place.

Every Star Wars kid has a favourite underdog moment, and for a lot of us it is the same one: a forest full of teddy bears bringing down the Empire’s armoured scout walkers with logs, rocks and sheer nerve. The LEGO Star Wars SMART Play: AT-ST Attack on Endor (75424) takes that exact scene — walker versus Ewok, on the forest moon of Endor — and turns it into a genuinely playable 347-piece set, rather than another shelf-bound display model.

LEGO Star Wars SMART Play: AT-ST Attack on Endor (75424) (opens in a new tab)

A 347-piece Battle of Endor skirmish set — a posable AT-ST with a swivelling head and two shooters, a speeder bike, and three minifigures: a SMART Wicket, an AT-ST Driver and a Scout Trooper.

That distinction matters. Most recent AT-ST sets have chased display scale and Ultimate Collector Series polish; this one goes the other way, building a small, swooshable AT-ST and a speeder bike specifically to be picked up, driven around the living room and taken outside for actual battles. For the Dadnology community — dads whose kids want to play the battle, not just look at it — that is exactly the right call. We built it with our 6-year-old, who managed almost all of it himself, and it has been living outdoors for photos and play ever since. The verdict is a strong 4.5 out of 5.

That price and piece count place it firmly as a starter play set rather than a collector’s centrepiece, and that is fine — not every AT-ST needs to be the 1,513-piece UCS AT-ST Walker (75417). This one has a different job: get a kid building, then get that kid re-enacting one of the best sequences in the original trilogy.

🛠️ Build Experience — Our 6-Year-Old Built This Almost Alone

At 347 pieces this is an evening build, not a weekend project, and that is deliberate. The AT-ST goes together fast — legs, then the boxy command head, then the shooters — and every stage produces a visibly recognisable chunk of the finished walker, which keeps a younger builder’s motivation up in a way a long, repetitive midsection never does. The speeder bike is a quick secondary build, simple enough that a first-timer can tackle it solo once the AT-ST is done.

We built this one together with our 6-year-old son, and “together” is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence — he managed almost all of it himself, with us mostly handing him bags and confirming the odd tricky piece. That is the real test for a set aimed at ages 8 and up: whether a younger kid can genuinely lead the build rather than just watch a parent do it, and this one passes comfortably. The LEGO Builder app’s zoomable, rotatable 3D instructions helped, but the bigger factor is just how logically the set is broken into digestible chunks. It will not challenge an adult AFOL for more than half an hour, but that was never the assignment.

🎮 Play Features — Built to Be Played With, Not Just Displayed

LEGO Star Wars AT-ST Walker (75417) (opens in a new tab)

The same walker at proper UCS display scale — 1,513 pieces, a rotating head and an opening cockpit, for anyone who wants the AT-ST as a shelf centrepiece rather than a play set.

This is where 75424 earns its keep. The AT-ST’s head swivels independently of the legs, it carries both a dual stud shooter and a flick shooter, and the speeder bike is light and simple enough to actually zip across a coffee table. Compared with the UCS-style display AT-STs, this one is unmistakably built for hands-on battles rather than careful shelf placement — which is exactly what a kid re-enacting Endor wants.

The SMART Play angle is the more complicated part of the pitch, and here we have to be honest about the limits of our own testing: our box did not include a SMART Brick, so we have not been able to try the motion-activated sounds and lights ourselves. The set includes 2 SMART Tags and a SMART Wicket minifigure, which are supposed to trigger AT-ST footsteps, speeder engine noises and laser-battle sound effects — but only once you add a SMART Brick from one of the separately-sold All-In-One sets (75421, 75423 or 75427). Buy 75424 on its own, as most people will, and you get a fully functional, fun building-and-play set with none of the promised sound and light show. It is not false advertising — the box is honest about needing the Brick — but it is an easy detail to miss, and it means the headline feature on the packaging is effectively an upsell to a second purchase. We will update this review if we get our hands on a SMART Brick to test it properly.

🪖 The Minifigures — A Genuinely Good Trio

Three minifigures for a set at this price point is solid, and LEGO picked the right three. The SMART Wicket comes armed with his bow, instantly recognisable and the emotional center of the whole scene — the underdog who, on screen, helps bring the whole Imperial war machine to its knees. The Scout Trooper and AT-ST Driver round out the Imperial side, both carrying blaster pistols, giving you the two factions of the Battle of Endor represented on your carpet.

What is genuinely nice here is that the set does not just give you an AT-ST and call it a day — it gives you the scene. Driver in the cockpit, Scout Trooper riding the hijacked speeder bike, Wicket squaring off with his bow: that is a real, recognisable moment from Return of the Jedi, built to be acted out rather than just admired.

🌲 Why the Battle of Endor Matters

For anyone raised on the Star Wars live-action saga, Endor is where the original trilogy delivers its best punchline: the Empire’s most intimidating war machines, brought down by a forest of teddy bears with rocks, logs and nerve. It is one of the most purely fun underdog beats in the whole saga, and it works precisely because the AT-ST looks so genuinely threatening right up until it does not.

That is the appeal this set trades on, and it does it honestly — this is a toy built to replay that exact David-and-Goliath moment, not a scaled-down trophy of it. If your household has already watched the Return of the Jedi forest chase a dozen times, handing over an AT-ST, a speeder bike and a Wicket minifigure is about as direct a hit as LEGO Star Wars gets. And if a kid falls in love with the walker itself and wants it bigger down the line, the UCS AT-ST Walker (75417) is the natural next step up in scale.

👨‍👧 Family Fit — The Right Endor Set for the Right Age

This is not a competitor to the display-scale AT-ST — it is a different product for a different shelf, or rather, no shelf at all. At 8-plus and 347 pieces, it is squarely aimed at a kid who wants to build something themselves and then actually play with it, and it survives that use well: the AT-ST’s stance is stable enough for real handling, and the speeder bike is simple and sturdy rather than fiddly. In our case, it did not stay in the living room for long — we took it outside for photos and let our son play with it in the garden, and it held up to real outdoor handling without any of the shooters or joints coming loose.

It is also a genuinely good starter set for introducing a younger builder to Star Wars beyond the screen — three well-chosen characters, a real scene from the films, and a build short enough to finish in one sitting without losing steam halfway through. Our 6-year-old managing almost the whole build himself is the best evidence we have that the age rating is honest, not aspirational. For a family working through the original trilogy together, this is the LEGO set that turns “the Ewoks beat the Empire” from a movie moment into an afternoon of carpet — and garden — battles.

LEGO Star Wars SMART Play: AT-ST Attack on Endor (75424) (opens in a new tab)

A 347-piece Battle of Endor skirmish set — a posable AT-ST with a swivelling head and two shooters, a speeder bike, and three minifigures: a SMART Wicket, an AT-ST Driver and a Scout Trooper.

💸 Value — Worth It, Multiple Figures and All

At around 50 dollars, 75424 sits at a good price for what is in the box: two vehicles, three well-chosen minifigures and a set genuinely designed to be played with rather than shelved. Judged purely as a building-and-play set, this is worth it — arguably better value than several display-only sets at a similar price that give you a single static model and one minifigure. It looks great built up, too, and having three characters rather than the usual one or two makes it feel like a proper scene rather than a single toy.

Where it loses a little shine is the SMART Play framing on the packaging, which implies an interactive experience the box alone cannot deliver — ours certainly did not come with the Brick needed to unlock it. Treat the SMART Tags as a nice-to-have for households already invested in an All-In-One set, not as the reason to buy this one — buy it for the AT-ST, the speeder bike and Wicket, and the SMART features become a pleasant bonus rather than an unmet promise. On that basis, this is a strong, honest 4.5 out of 5.

Watch it: the Battle of Endor plays out in full in our Return of the Jedi review.

📌 FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

Is LEGO AT-ST Attack on Endor (75424) worth it?

Yes. For around 50 dollars you get a posable AT-ST, a speeder bike and three well-chosen minifigures — Wicket, an AT-ST Driver and a Scout Trooper — built to actually role-play the Battle of Endor rather than just sit on a shelf. Our 6-year-old built almost all of it himself and it has lived outdoors for play and photos ever since. A strong 4.5 out of 5.

How many pieces and minifigures does LEGO 75424 have?

347 pieces and 3 minifigures: a SMART Wicket with his bow, an AT-ST Driver and a Scout Trooper, both armed with blaster pistols. The finished AT-ST measures about 19cm high, 12cm long and 10cm wide.

What is LEGO SMART Play and do I need to buy anything else?

SMART Play is LEGO’s motion-activated sound-and-light system. This set includes 2 SMART Tags and a SMART Wicket minifigure, but they only trigger actual sounds and lights — AT-ST footsteps, speeder engines, laser battles — once paired with a SMART Brick from a separately-sold All-In-One set (75421, 75423 or 75427). Our own box did not include a SMART Brick, so bought alone, 75424 is a normal, fully functional building set without the sound effects — we have not been able to test the SMART Play side yet.

Is LEGO AT-ST Attack on Endor (75424) the same as the AT-ST Walker (75417)?

No, they are different sets of the same vehicle. The 75424 is a small, affordable 347-piece play set aimed at ages 8 and up, with two vehicles and three minifigures. The AT-ST Walker (75417) is a 1,513-piece Ultimate Collector Series display model built for scale and shelf presence rather than play.

Is LEGO 75424 good for younger kids?

Yes — it is built for it. Our own 6-year-old built almost all of it himself, which says a lot about how approachable the 347-piece count and age-8-plus rating really are. Unlike a display-scale UCS set, this one is designed to be swooshed, shot at, taken outside and actually played with afterwards.
