Highlights

  • LEGO has confirmed the Cal Kestis minifigure in a new Star Destroyer set, with a release date set for August 1.
  • The set will include a lightsaber and character stand for Cal, alongside other iconic Star Wars characters.

The previously hinted-at LEGO Star Wars minifigure of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor protagonist Cal Kestis has finally been confirmed as part of an upcoming Imperial Star Destroyer set. While the popular LEGO Star Wars line has primarily focused on the Star Wars movies and shows, there have been sets and minifigures based on the numerous video games over the years. In addition to collectible versions of famous Star Wars gaming characters like Starkiller and Darth Malek, the lovable BD-1 from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order had a model based on it back in 2022.

Rumor had it that Cal Kestis would be joining his faithful droid counterpart as a LEGO minifigure, and it was believed that he would be packaged with a Death Star set released to commemorate the LEGO Star Wars line’s 25th anniversary. This would later be supported by Cal’s appearance in a recent LEGO Star Wars promotional video, in which he and BD-1 dived in to help Saw Gerrera and the crew of the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels battle Imperial Stormtroopers before joining the other plastic heroes of the Galaxy Far, Far Away for a group photo.

A LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Game Could Be Far More Than the Titular Show

A LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian game seems like a logical next step for a smaller-scale entry, but there's plenty of Mando content outside the one show.

It has now been officially confirmed that a LEGO minifigure version of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Cal Kestis will be released alongside the upcoming 25th anniversary Imperial Star Destroyer set, which is now available to pre-order on Amazon. This buildable battleship is slated to be released on August 1 and will reportedly cost $159.99. Cal Kestis will come packaged with his trusty lightsaber and a buildable character stand. Other LEGO characters included in the set are Darth Vader, Commander Praji, an Imperial Gunner, an Imperial Navy Trooper, and a Stormtrooper.

LEGO Cal Kestis Minifigure Release Date

  • August 1, 2024

Cal Kestis’s inclusion in an Imperial Star Destroyer LEGO set may seem a bit random at first, as the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor protagonist isn’t immediately associated with the Empire’s dreaded war vessel. However, this does continue the LEGO Star Wars 25th-anniversary line’s tendency to place unrelated exclusive minifigures in its sets. For example, the previously-mentioned Darth Malek of Knights of the Old Republic fame came packaged with an R2-D2 set, while Saw Gerrera was included in a model of Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator from The Phanom Menace.

Nonetheless, fans who have been looking forward to seeing Cal Kestis in LEGO Star Wars minifigure form have an official confirmation that he is indeed on the way as the exclusive bonus for the LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer set that will be released in August. In the meantime, players are still awaiting news of the third Star Wars Jedi game, which was last hinted at in a job listing at developer Respawn Entertainment.
