‘The Force Awakens’ in Lego
Via Cnet.com:
When Disney and Lucasfilm gave us a quick sneak peek at what’s to come in the new “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” teaser trailer yesterday, fans everywhere showed their excitement online, dissected the trailer image by image and a few even debated the new lightsaber design.
With all the fan hullabaloo over the cast appearances, new lightsaber and the ball-rolling astromech, it’s comforting to know that you can rewatch the entire teaser trailer lovingly remade in Lego.
Everything from appearances of “Star Wars” newcomers John Boyega, Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac to the iconic Millennium Falcon’s exciting flyby is recreated brick by brick in Lego form. Even the cameo of the new lightsaber design gets its own Lego likeness.
Lego tributes to “Star Wars” have always been popular online, so when the first official photo of some of the main cast of the new “Star Wars” film was released in April, it was quickly re-created in Lego.
In “Lego Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens Teaser Trailer” by Youtube user Snooperking, we see cast members, including the Stormtroopers, in minifigure form, plus Lego builds of X-wings and the Millennium Falcon.
“I had nothing to do yesterday so I started once the trailer came out so I built the Falcon, the X-wing, the speeder bike, a mini TIE fighter, tried to build all the sets, and get all my minifigures put together,” Snooperking stated on his Youtube page. “Then just filming took forever, especially the special effects.”
To make the special effects in the video, Snooperking attempted using a makeshift green screen but decided in the end to use a thread to move the TIE fighter around the Falcon.

Review: Lego Darth Vader Desk Lamp
Need some light in your collection room? Have a little ‘Star Wars’ fan in need of a nightlight? The Lego Darth Vader Desk Lamp is the perfect solution!
The lamp is 71/2 inches tall. Darth Vader’s lightsaber features a bright 12x LED light. The lamp requires 3x “AA” batteries and can be plugged right into your computer for optional USB power.
The lamp is very well constructed. It is made of plastic and is typical of Lego quality – sturdy and durable. Darth Vader is fully poseable. He can be displayed with or without his helmet. There is a fabric cape that can be added. To put the cape on, you need to remove the head which is very tight. You need to really pull on it to get it off. The head goes back on easily. His arms and legs easily move so that he can be positioned in any way you like. The lightsaber is held in Darth Vader’s hand, but it twists around so that the light can be directed to where you need it. One side of the lightsaber is clear and allows for the most light and the other side is red and does not allow as much light through. This is a great feature if you are using this lamp as a night light for a child – the light can be moved so it isn’t too bright.
Darth Vader can be removed from his base. Darth Vader can be posed and used away from the base, he can be used with the base or he can be portable. This allows you the freedom to choose how you want to use the lamp. If this lamp is being used by a child, Darth Vader can travel with the child and be used as a “flashlight” of sorts. The multiple options for use make this lamp very versitile.
The lamp requires 3x “AA” batteries, which allow the lamp to work when it is removed from the base. It also has a USB power cable, so it can be plugged into your computer. There is a button on the front (on Darth Vader’s chest plate) that turns the light on. When the button is pushed once, the light comes on at its dimest setting, then when pushed again, it comes on at its brightest setting.
The Lego Darth Vader desk lamp looks great, works well and is very functional. Any Star Wars or Lego fan would enjoy this! Thanks to EntertainmentEarth.com for the review sample, click here to grab one today for $49.99
