From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Star Wars fans will be able to look forward to a brand new Lego set that brings one of the franchise’s most celebrated videogames to life.
Featuring in the 2019 game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, BD-1 has become something of a symbolic character. As Cal Kestis’s trusty companion, the exploration droid travels with the protagonist to help restore the Jedi Order and bring balance to the galaxy – and the set is available to buy right now.
Based on a recent announcement for its upcoming sequel, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the droid is set to make a return in 2023, making it the perfect time to commemorate the character in a brand new Lego set.
This is the first time we’ve seen a character from the Star Wars Jedi videogame series receive the Lego treatment, but the Lego/Star Wars partnership seems like a natural fit, as evidenced in the acclaimed Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.

The Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order BD-1 Lego set is part of the infamous droid collection that already features other notable companions such as R2-D2 (£174.99, Lego.com) and the Imperial Probe (£60, Argos.co.uk).
This 1,062-brick model has posable joints and a head that can be tilted back, forward and sideways, plus a compartment for different stim canister elements. Translucent elements on the back of the head can also indicate BD-1’s mood.
You’ll also receive an information plaque and a BD-1 Lego minifigure that can be attached next to the sign to complete a charming display piece.
The set was released on 1 August 2022 and is available to purchase now. Videogame tie-ins of Lego sets have sold quickly in the past, such as the Horizon Forbidden West set (£69.99, Smythstoys.com), which was released earlier this year, so make sure you get your hands on this one quickly before it sells out.
