2008 - 2011 was a good time to be a kid that liked LEGO. Practically everyone in the elementary school traded sets or mini figs with each other and I remember everyone being obsessed with the Death Star, and all of us being jealous of those few kids that actually got it.
It must have been awesome to get a cool Lego set for only $10 back then. It's so expensive now. I feel like Microfighters used to be $10. I got a cool deal on a Boba Fet starship microfighter on Amazon for only US 8.99, so I was happy because I made a little dock for it at the back of the playset sized Razor Crest right behind the escape pod using jumper plates. It now adds a bit of color to the grey and I pretend that it's actually part of the bigger set 😊
The 2008 Death Star caught the attention of people outside of the Lego space, I remember a Target employee telling me how people actually bought this set to resell it and she thought that was crazy, as in her eyes it was just an expensive kid's toy.
I have the Gunship sealed in box somewhere (very beat up I should note). It was my cousin’s but he never built and just gave it to us with his LEGO collection a few years. I also surprised at how many of these sets I bought at the time and how many of they are still built and on shelves. It really was a great year for LEGO Star Wars
Probably my most nostalgic year for lego with me being peak child at 4 years old biggest fan of lego and star wars and watching this seeing all the old sets i got for Christmas that year remembering everything i got then. Now being 19 and 20 next year seeing this with a disposable income just wishing i could go back and buy up a bunch of these!!!
Fantastic video, but theres some mistakes, the 2016 trash compactor section is shown when Mandr's talking about the 2008 one (11:18), the 2019 y-wing and the 2021 Slave one being shown when he's talking about the downscaled models shown in the 2018 Cloud City and 2023 Yavin 4 (11:57)
I have a good memories with Anakin starfighter. This is the first time I got a LEGO set with an issue; the sticker was missing from the sheet. It was one of my earlier attempt at assertiveness and I was so proud from having contacted lego to send me a spare sticker sheet which they did. 😄
Rebel battle pack was my first set along with the twilight, I think it’s a very underrated set as it looks very accurate to the show/movie and was fun to play with as a kid
2008 was a rough year in terms of design, lego was barely getting out of the og design philosophy and evolving to a modern design so a lot of these sets don't hold up that well
I like my 2010 Tie Defender but even it is clearly obsolescent in terms of building techniques. I've added reinforcements to it and some plates to make it a little more smooth and sturdy but I hope Lego releases a professionally designed new one in play scale or even UCS but I'm not holding my breath.
@@sergeipohkerova7211 Maybe with Ahsoka coming out they'll do a TIE Defender. That was Thrawn's baby, and it'd be a cool re-release. Plus they're doing a lot of the TIE line lately, so maybe you can get your hopes up a *little* bit.
Damn ryan right off the bat you hurt my feelings!😂 I like the twilight. I feel like it's kinda iconic a bit and underrated. Also a tip for when your building it: towards the end there's gonna be a step that seems impossible but you just have to put it on a certain way.
Honestly what stands out here is the sheer volume of creativity implemented into these sets. Whilst the designs of today are better, they do seem so much more boring compared to 2008!
The biggest disappointment for me when I got the Twilight, was the fact that it doesn't have any interior or the med bay despite its size, hence why it was never advertised anywhere on the box. but still, the kid me had high expection, and it SHOULD have had something more to it
Awesome First to Worst! I love every single set this year and it has to be one of my favorite years of Lego Star Wars of all time. The clone wars and the original trilogy sets and prequels sets were all great and I would love to see Lego remake some of these sets one day. Also I am so excited to see you tomorrow Ryan for Brickfair!
My heart broke again when I saw that AT-TE.💔 I wanted that set so bad… I never got it though! 2008 was a great year! Me and my brothers collected a lot of these sets back in the day! I miss when Lego used to make quality sets like these! BRING BACK THE CLONE WARS!!!!
Absolutely bang on with the criticism of the 2025 one I thought you'd let them off until the end haha. I've always liked the arc170 and have been waiting a while for one as you say and it's not affordable to get 2010/2005 ones now. They didn't really do it justice which is annoying as it will be a while before we get another. Really enjoying the comparison vids and well done for calling out when Lego gets greedy with smaller sets for more money. My most recent thought is they are conning on piece count justifying price for a high price count. The 2025 arc 170 is a prime example of them having more peices but they are smaller and actually end up being less. But at the end of the day it's all Lego star wars so it's better than nothing haha!
If they would do a THE clone wars anniversary wave to pay homage to this beautiful year in Lego Star Wars history, what 8-10 sets (of various sizes) should this wave include? I imagine something like "Attack on the Rishi Base" with about 1000 pieces, 8 Minifigures and you just have this base with the command center, the viewing Platform, Secret entrance and by flipping something the base would blow up (similar to this Endor Set)
8:04 that wasn’t a play feature because droids didn’t drive the spider droids. they were their own droid system. just like a droideka is its own entity.
i love how lego says that they cant do fallen order sets because the game is “too violent”, yet they did force unleashed sets and that game is as violent if not more violent than fallen order
I really want that rogue shadow set its one of the few big sets id commit too Especially since i loved the force unleashed and it definitely made me appreciate legends continuity more.
When I was a kid my parents and I drove over an hour to the lego store for my birthday. The buildable general grievous box was badly damaged so they only charged me $32 for it. I was a seasonal employee a couple years back at a new closer location and that absolutely does not happen today
Stormtrooper battlepack was my first ever Star Wars set. I was 7 and already a big Star Wars fan. However I had no idea Lego Star Wars existed because Lego in general wasn't very widespread then where I'm from, I fucking shit my pants from excitement when I got it for my birthday. Good times...
Before you’ve had a gripe about the droid gunship having a pilot spot but you think the homing spider droid should have a spot for a figure inside? And knocked it a little for that is just crazy
These are some L takes. There is no way you put a buildable figure ahead of the AT-AP. Anakins fighter is better than the storm trooper battle pack? The Death Star is worse than the Magnaguard Fighter? What?
The 2008 Gun ship was peak for me and my brother I still have it but I definitely would buy like 2 more they are that good. The Commander Cody had all the accessories as well it was perfect
I had the 7667! I cant believe its that old lmao I actually just got back into lego and found one of the Stormtroopers from that set in my parents basement.
2008 - 2011 was a good time to be a kid that liked LEGO. Practically everyone in the elementary school traded sets or mini figs with each other and I remember everyone being obsessed with the Death Star, and all of us being jealous of those few kids that actually got it.
Honestly I agree I finally got my hands on one last week and am still building it
Clone Wars absolutely carries this year
For sure
Not back then. I remember they weren’t really received well at first because of the art style of the figures
Agreed.
Some of them are kinda creepy though
I mean, like 80% of the sets were clone wars so, yeah lol
You're crushing it with the daily uploads! It's a perfect day when there's a "Worst to First" video!
Yeah I'm loving the daily uploads.
I also love that now the cards of the set have the set number, title, piece count, and price! It's a nice detail Ryan and it's much appreciated!
More worst to first please!
How many days has he been uploading in a row it’s a least a mouth now
@@Habsfan56744 Lol it has to be at least 24-25 days
It must have been awesome to get a cool Lego set for only $10 back then. It's so expensive now. I feel like Microfighters used to be $10.

The pure nostalgic joy this video gives me is unreal ❤
The 2008 Death Star caught the attention of people outside of the Lego space, I remember a Target employee telling me how people actually bought this set to resell it and she thought that was crazy, as in her eyes it was just an expensive kid's toy.
2008 is an underrated year in my years, it’s personal to me cause it’s when I really started getting into LEGO
Tbh the death star is the best set of that year due to how iconic it is and the amazing build and figures.
I have the Gunship sealed in box somewhere (very beat up I should note). It was my cousin’s but he never built and just gave it to us with his LEGO collection a few years.
I also surprised at how many of these sets I bought at the time and how many of they are still built and on shelves. It really was a great year for LEGO Star Wars
He wanted to continue the streak of uploading. Good for Ryan.
I think a ranking of every year of lego star wars would make a great video.
Yes
Probably my most nostalgic year for lego with me being peak child at 4 years old biggest fan of lego and star wars and watching this seeing all the old sets i got for Christmas that year remembering everything i got then. Now being 19 and 20 next year seeing this with a disposable income just wishing i could go back and buy up a bunch of these!!!

Plus when he talked about how the droid should go into the spider walker when the spider walker is a droid by itself. Not a tank that you get into
I have a good memories with Anakin starfighter. This is the first time I got a LEGO set with an issue; the sticker was missing from the sheet. It was one of my earlier attempt at assertiveness and I was so proud from having contacted lego to send me a spare sticker sheet which they did. 😄
The moment where a child becomes an adult.
Rebel battle pack was my first set along with the twilight, I think it’s a very underrated set as it looks very accurate to the show/movie and was fun to play with as a kid
Man if I could only go back to these days! Great times to be a kid.
I miss those days. 1980s kid.
Born in 71. Lego just isn’t the same anymore.
2008 was a rough year in terms of design, lego was barely getting out of the og design philosophy and evolving to a modern design so a lot of these sets don't hold up that well

Imagine its Christmas day 2008, you get a ATTE and a V19, the best year of my life
Hello MandR just made a Lego TH-cam channel! I made it because of you keep up the good work and inspiring people!
Great video ryan, keep up the daily uploads!
Let’s just all say that the clone wars sets just dominated the list
So glad you gave the V-19 the love it deserves!
Got scared you weren’t going to post 😂
Wow, I wasn’t ready for this upload Ryan!? But I’m loving this worst the first!!!
bro your videos are always so good
Yes
Man awesome vid! I was glad to meet you at BrickFair VA and awesome with the daily uploads, always fire 🔥
Honestly what stands out here is the sheer volume of creativity implemented into these sets. Whilst the designs of today are better, they do seem so much more boring compared to 2008!
The biggest disappointment for me when I got the Twilight, was the fact that it doesn't have any interior or the med bay despite its size, hence why it was never advertised anywhere on the box. but still, the kid me had high expection, and it SHOULD have had something more to it
I really miss these ranked type videos! Hope you come up with more ideas for this series!
13:43 so we’re not gonna talk about the guy to the right
always wanted the 2008 at-te but i am super glad i got the republic fighter tank back then was such a great set and was my fav set for years :)
Great video but this thumbnail doesn't cut it, the normal one is too iconic to change it. Amazing series
Awesome First to Worst! I love every single set this year and it has to be one of my favorite years of Lego Star Wars of all time. The clone wars and the original trilogy sets and prequels sets were all great and I would love to see Lego remake some of these sets one day. Also I am so excited to see you tomorrow Ryan for Brickfair!
Great list except for the Death Star. That is the holy grail of Lego star wars as a whole and you put it halfway!?
Great video keep up the great work your my favorite lego TH-camr
11:57 why did the editor not show the actual Slave I from the MBS cloud city and the Y wing from yavin? I was confused for a moment.
when i saw this video i thought, it's been 84 years since a ranking video. gotta love these vids, keep up the good work man
Absolutely amazing, we’ve been asking for this for a long time and this is great, thank you Ryan, we appreciate you and the grind 😊🎉🎉
Keep up the daily grind man!
12:48 Lego listened
The V 19 Torrent is one of those sets that would make sense if they remade and downscaled.
You should do a review of the cancelled Snowspeeder polybag, like you did the Tank Droid a few years ago
Trick question all the 08 sets are amazing
It’s interesting that a lot of the 2008 builds are worse than today, however the creativity and side builds are way better than today.
Now THIS is the video thumbnail we were waiting for
The magna guard flick fire is supposed to be angled a little bit upwards and forward. I remember playing with that feature and I loved it
Rebel Scout Speeder is my favorite set of all time and I'd appreciate it if someone made it cannon
the rebel scout speeder was one of my first sets so a lot of nostalgia for me but i'm glad you also like it
My heart broke again when I saw that AT-TE.💔 I wanted that set so bad… I never got it though! 2008 was a great year! Me and my brothers collected a lot of these sets back in the day! I miss when Lego used to make quality sets like these! BRING BACK THE CLONE WARS!!!!
You need to play The Force Unleashed, it's the best Star Wars game in my opinion
The 2008 Gunship is one of my favourite lego sets ever. When I was younger I always wanted this set
Instant classic m and r video. Been waiting for this one for a while now!
I thought you would break your video streak today
I didn’t know about the bouncy seat in the fighter tank. But now I’m won over. That’s amazing
This dude really put a battle pack above the death star 💀
Been a while since a worst to first I love them keep them up
Absolutely bang on with the criticism of the 2025 one I thought you'd let them off until the end haha.
I've always liked the arc170 and have been waiting a while for one as you say and it's not affordable to get 2010/2005 ones now.
They didn't really do it justice which is annoying as it will be a while before we get another.
Really enjoying the comparison vids and well done for calling out when Lego gets greedy with smaller sets for more money.
My most recent thought is they are conning on piece count justifying price for a high price count. The 2025 arc 170 is a prime example of them having more peices but they are smaller and actually end up being less. But at the end of the day it's all Lego star wars so it's better than nothing haha!
I have insider info that in 2024 we WILL see a mandolorian season three Moff Gideon! By 2025 we will see a UCS jab as sail barge
Nice! Any other cool news?
Yes! Don’t expect midi-scale to stick around!
I wouldn’t say that. According to legos retiring list, midi scale will stay for three more years at least!
I absolutely love these videos! Thank you for doing these!!
If they would do a THE clone wars anniversary wave to pay homage to this beautiful year in Lego Star Wars history, what 8-10 sets (of various sizes) should this wave include?
I imagine something like "Attack on the Rishi Base" with about 1000 pieces, 8 Minifigures and you just have this base with the command center, the viewing Platform, Secret entrance and by flipping something the base would blow up (similar to this Endor Set)
8:04 that wasn’t a play feature because droids didn’t drive the spider droids. they were their own droid system. just like a droideka is its own entity.
I would totally agree that kids back in 2008 were smarter than kids today.
Love the worst to first lists!! Keep 'em coming Ryan!
A classic is back!
Ima keep it real its been a while since one of these worst to first type vids
I just started rebels No one told me it was this good
Well glad you like it!
Ask mandr: Will you ever make a first to worst for all Lego Star Wars? You could do it in multiple parts
The rebel scout speeder was the very first Lego set I ever had! Much nostalgia for that one
i love how lego says that they cant do fallen order sets because the game is “too violent”, yet they did force unleashed sets and that game is as violent if not more violent than fallen order
force unleashed needs more talk. i want starkiller so bad.
13:42 bro on the right got the Skywalker treatment.
Who wants mandr to make a clone army video
Would you ever do a poly bag ranking? Maybe like cluster years together or do all of em idk
Why is the republic dropship in the thumbnail?
I chose to order the invisible hand and r2d2 for the malak first, looking forward to buying the other 3 during 2x points events over the next year
Love the videos
Keep it up
If you do worst to first from 2007 (The year Star Wars turned 30) I'm now hoping that now number one will really just be the MTT
What a year!
my parents surprised me with the Republic GS when i was young and im so happy it was number one!
For whatever reason, the AT-AP 2008 is one of my favorite sets
It was my first non battlepack set so I have fond memories of it. Still have it displayed to this day.
I just wish we were in the old days were clones were simple and everyone loved clones
Yeah born in 1971. Good old days.
The polybag V-19 Torrent was an absolutely fire set
"i guess kids back in 2008 were just smarter"
they absolutely were and its not even close
Yeah I was reading Dune at age 7😭
For sure, kids these days are stupid as hell
You know a year of sets is good when the worst set of the year bottoms out at "decent"
I really want that rogue shadow set its one of the few big sets id commit too Especially since i loved the force unleashed and it definitely made me appreciate legends continuity more.
When I was a kid my parents and I drove over an hour to the lego store for my birthday. The buildable general grievous box was badly damaged so they only charged me $32 for it. I was a seasonal employee a couple years back at a new closer location and that absolutely does not happen today
Whooooooooo!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉It’s about damn time we got another one of these!
Hi Ryan my favourite lego star wars set from 2008 was imperial dropship and was my first lego star wars set.
Love the video! Not sure if you know there isn’t a thumbnail tho
Stormtrooper battlepack was my first ever Star Wars set. I was 7 and already a big Star Wars fan. However I had no idea Lego Star Wars existed because Lego in general wasn't very widespread then where I'm from, I fucking shit my pants from excitement when I got it for my birthday. Good times...
I have starkiller in a good used condition he goes for like £60-£80
Before you’ve had a gripe about the droid gunship having a pilot spot but you think the homing spider droid should have a spot for a figure inside? And knocked it a little for that is just crazy
The Anakin's starfighter was my first ever LEGO Star Wars set ever... good memories
I think you should make a worst to first video for 2007 since it’s prob one of the best years for star wars
These are some L takes. There is no way you put a buildable figure ahead of the AT-AP. Anakins fighter is better than the storm trooper battle pack? The Death Star is worse than the Magnaguard Fighter? What?
Bro I forgot this series existed love it so much 🔥🔥
The 2008 Gun ship was peak for me and my brother I still have it but I definitely would buy like 2 more they are that good. The Commander Cody had all the accessories as well it was perfect
I had the 7667! I cant believe its that old lmao I actually just got back into lego and found one of the Stormtroopers from that set in my parents basement.
This year is the best lego year ever, period.
