Storia
Revell launched its Star Wars line in 2005 alongside Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, debuting pre-painted snap-fit vehicles under the Easykit label in Europe and SnapTite in the United States.
Between 2006 and 2014, the lineup expanded to encompass classic Original Trilogy ships like the Millennium Falcon and Luke's X-Wing, alongside craft from the animated The Clone Wars series.
With the launch of the Sequel Trilogy in 2015, Revell modernized its offerings by introducing SnapTite Max, Build & Play models with built-in light and sound modules, and clear Skill Level ratings. From 2020 onward, the line evolved further through Easy-Click Systems and detailed Master Series releases focused on streaming titles like The Mandalorian, incorporating 3D puzzle models and 2026 kits tied to the theatrical release of The Mandalorian & Grogu.
