Season 3 of The Mandalorian premiered last week and introduced to the series Din Djarin's new starship, a heavily modified N-1 Starfighter. This Star Wars prequel vehicle represents a wild departure from the Razorcrest transport Mando used before it was destroyed in season 2, and first appeared in episode 5 of The Book of Boba Fett spinoff series. Soon it'll be available as a LEGO Microfighter, Screen Rant can exclusively reveal.A new type of starfighter also joins the Star Wars universe and its LEGO line in Chapter 17: The Apostate of The Mandalorian. It's currently called the "Pirate Snub Fighter" and our armored hero dispatches a squad of them rather handedly in its debut. This particular LEGO set is a neat one and comes with a pilot and the pirate Vane, the main lackey for new pirate villain Gorian Shard introduced in the premiere.Below are Screen Rant's exclusive first look images of the LEGO® Star Wars™ Pirate Snub Fighter (75346) and LEGO® Star Wars™ The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter™ Microfighter (75363) along with pricing info, product details, and release dates.

LEGO® Star Wars™ The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter™ Microfighter (75363)
Ages 6+ | $15.99 | August 1st launch
- Join The Mandalorian and Grogu on a bounty-hunting mission in the N-1 Starfighter Microfighter. With Mando at the controls and Grogu behind the cockpit, launch your adventure.
- This quick-build, microscale, LEGO brick model of the N-1 Starfighter features an open cockpit for The Mandalorian LEGO minifigure and space for the Grogu LEGO figure, plus 2 stud shooters.
- The Mandalorian comes with a blaster pistol and jetpack accessory element.
- A cool anytime gift for kids aged 6 and up, this 88-piece building toy combines well with other LEGO Star Wars Microfighter sets for extra play possibilities.
My own theory on the snub fighter potentially being inspired by the R41 Starchaser from Star Wars lore seems less and less likely after seeing this Pirate Snub Fighter LEGO kit which gives us the best look yet at the fast-moving, close-range starfighters as featured in live-action in The Mandalorian season 3 premiere. However, there's no official designation or manufacturer name given to the Pirate Snub Fighter yet, just the generic label.
As for Mando's Microfighter, this N-1 pairs perfectly with Boba Fett's Starship™ Microfighter which ships later this month! Collectors may want this one just for the Mando and Grogu minifigures!

The Mandalorian
- Summary:
- The Mandalorian is set after the Empire's fall and before the First Order's emergence in the ever-growing Star Wars universe. The series follows the travails of a lone gunfighter named Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic. Acting as the first live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian has become incredibly popular on Disney+, partly due to Mando’s relationship with Grogu, which the internet dubbed “Baby Yoda” upon his introduction in season 1.
