LEGO and Star Wars fit together as well as, well, two LEGO bricks fit together, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the two are teaming up to deliver fans their biggest set yet. The announcement came earlier this afternoon with a tweet from LEGO that was accompanied by a teaser video.

LEGO's partnership with Star Wars has been one of their most successful collaborations, resulting in not just a huge amount of sets, but also video games and the TV series LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures.

When it comes to Star Wars, LEGO has regularly embraced the concept of "go big or go home," pulling out all the stops to give fans massive sets. According to CompleteSet, Star Wars takes six spots on a list of LEGO's 15 biggest sets.

Understandably, the largest sets are inspired by the largest vehicles from the saga, with an Imperial Star Destroyer, Super Star Destroyer, and Sandcrawler all earning massive sets. Additionally, the Death Star and Death Star II score spots 5 and 6 on the list, with the former having over 3,800 pieces and the latter having almost 3,500.

Of all the iconic pieces of Star Wars LEGO sets, however, it's hard to oust the Millenium Falcon from its number 2 slot with over 5,200 pieces, second only to the reproduction of the Taj Mahal, which has nearly 6,000 pieces.

The teaser video reveals that the set, whatever it is, will hit stores on October 1, a full month after Force Friday. Considering Force Friday is set to be the day where most of the merchandise for The Last Jedi hits shelves, does this mean the set won't be related to the upcoming sequel? With LEGO having already covered some of the biggest objects in the Star Wars galaxy, we can only imagine what they might unleash upon their fans with the new set.

The Last Jedi will hit theaters December 15.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the second film in the new Star Wars sequel trilogy that began with Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015. The film will deal with Luke training Rey to become a, and possibly the last, Jedi. Meanwhile, the Resistance, including Poe Dameron and First Order defector Finn, continues to fight against the First Order, led by General Hux, while Supreme Leader Snoke and his Dark Side follower Kylo Ren continue their mysterious plot. The film is written and directed by Rian Johnson and stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, Andy Serkis, Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern, and Kelly Marie Tran.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters December 15th, 2017.
