No, they were not. Lego Bricks were first made in 1949 and Lego Minifigures were first made in 1979.
The bricks from the Lego Star Wars toys are compatible with standard lego bricks. Most lego sets have bricks that are completely compatible. The only exception would be a specialty item which may be made for specific sets only.

Yes, there are approximately 53 LEGO bricks for every person in the world. As of recent estimates, LEGO has produced over 600 billion bricks since its inception in 1949. With the global population being around 8 billion, this calculation translates to roughly 75 LEGO bricks for each person, indicating that there are more than enough bricks for everyone.
There are billions of Lego in the world, and each person is equivalent to 60 Lego bricks!
if i can remember when i was a kid and it first came out. i recall it was 1893Lego was first invented in Denmark in 1932, but was not named Lego till later in 1934. Back then they were only producing handmade wooden toys.The first plastic Lego bricks called "Automatic Binding Bricks" were produced in 1949.However, these were based on "Kiddicraft Self-Locking Bricks" produced in 1947.The Lego Group began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, who began making wooden toys in 1932. In 1934 his company came to be called Lego. It expanded to producing plastic toys in 1940. In 1949 Lego began producing the now famous interlocking bricks, calling them "Automatic Binding Bricks". These bricks were based largely on the design of Kiddicraft Self-Locking Bricks, which were released in the United Kingdom in 1947. Lego modified the design of the Kiddiecraft brick after examining a sample given to it by a British supplier of an injection-moulding machine that Lego had purchased. The first Lego bricks, manufactured from cellulose acetate, were developed in the spirit of traditional wooden blocks that could be stacked upon one another; but these plastic bricks could be locked together. They had several round studs on top, and a hollow rectangular bottom. The blocks snapped together, but not so tightly that they required extraordinary effort to be separated.The first Lego set was a House.They finally made minifigures in 1950.The first ever minifigure was made in 1946.
They started manufacturing plastic Lego bricks in 1949. Before, they made wooden toys.
