Star Wars Legos: Prequels vs Original

In honor of Unofficial Star Wars Day, I think it’s relevant to get on a little Prequels Vs. Original Trilogy topic.  The topic at hand are Star Wars Legos.  I love legos, today Gizmodo released a huge gallery of the history of Star Wars Legos since they started being created in 1999.  These pictures came from a 10 year annivesary poster that is no longer available, but a book is on the way!

See the great article, along with some fun other posts at Gizmodo.  Below I present the gallery sorted by Original Trilogy characters and Prequel/Clone Wars characters.  I think the Original Trilogy Characters are the most inspired, but that’s just me! What do you think?

geekTastic! 7 Foot Long Star Wars Mon Calamari Star Cruiser?

The things people do with Legos amazes me.  Thomas Benedikt created this 7 Foot Long Mon Calamari flagship from Return of the Jedi.

From Gizmodo:

“The stunning Lego model—created by Thomas Benedikt—was created to scale with the official Lego Star Destroyer, which is an impressive 3,104 pieces beast on its own. According to Thomas, the ship was almost impossible to recreate in Lego because of the difficulty of its surfaces: There’s no right angles at all.”

See a few pictures after the jump. Read the full story and see even more pictures HERE [Gizmodo].
