The LEGO Group and Sphere Studios Turn LA Sphere into a LEGO Star Wars Death Star to mark the reveal of the new LEGO SMART Play Platform
A first-of-its-kind LEGO® Star Wars–themed live interactive game experience debuted on the Exosphere of Sphere in Las Vegas last night. Created by Sphere Studios for the LEGO Group, and in collaboration with Disney Consumer Products and Lucasfilm, the experience celebrated the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) announcement of LEGO SMART Play™, a new play innovation that brings LEGO creations to life like never before. The first building sets featuring LEGO SMART Play™ will be Star Wars™ themed.

The experience brought the interactive nature of LEGO SMART Play™ to life on an incredible scale during CES 2026, transforming the 580,000 square foot Exosphere into a stunning interpretation of the iconic trench run scene from the film Star Wars: A New Hope.

Invited guests were able to step into the adventure themselves outside Sphere, taking a seat in a LEGO themed X-wing cockpit to feel the thrill of “blowing up” the LEGO Star Wars Death Star, displayed on Exosphere, the world’s largest LED screen.
This interactive experience was created to mark the launch of LEGO SMART Play™. Unveiled at CES 2026, LEGO SMART Play™ represents the most significant evolution of the LEGO System-in-Play since the debut of the LEGO Minifigure in 1978 — redefining what creative play can be.
Powered by the innovative LEGO SMART Brick, which is packed with pioneering, world-first technologies, LEGO SMART Play™ is a groundbreaking new platform that brings LEGO creations to life like never before.
