Star Wars (1977)
"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." Star Wars! I present to you my latest and biggest creation. Turning the iconic 1977 poster into LEGO. This is an entry for a Star Wars Portuguese FNAC Contest.
Getting the Idea:
Without restrictions or limitations and being a Star Wars theme... Why not? The main contests rule was not featuring an official LEGO set, it must be completely original. So I started thinking... What can I create that captures Star Wars the best? First I thought of making an iconic battle like Hoth, Endor or Geonosis, but then I started thinking of the number of pieces that would be required... So I looked differently at the pieces and colours that I have and then I remembered a portrait my father gave me featuring all the classic posters and right then and there, the idea flourished. And can it get more iconic than that striking poster with Luke and Leia posing with Vader in the background? Like Palpatine said: Dew it!
I'm very happy and proud of the final look. There's micro-scale, sculpting, "LEGO sketch" looking, Miniland figure type all in one. This was the biggest contest entry I ever participated in and I lost count of the number of pieces it has. My fellow Star Wars friends all want a copy for themselves to display but they are crazy, this build used all my nougat colour stock! Hahaha. Hope you like it as well and thanks for reading :D Feel free to leave a comment and to share.
May The Force Be with You!
