Calling all Lego & Star Wars fans...

Sorry, I know this is a contrary thing to do with my hate of YouPoob, but a friend sent me this link earlier, and it's purely spectacular on many levels.

Any of you who've tried either building models of that complexity OR stop-motion stuff will realise how much talent is crammed into this little vid.

Rock on...

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW :shock:

Have we seen a budding George Lucas?

Amazing and creative video skills. Lego has certainly come a long long way since I was a kid. We only had coloured blocks in about five or six sizes to mess around with :lol:

I never knew you had a lips Mandrake... :shock:


In that this is stop action I believe the parallel would be Ray Harryhausen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Harryhausen) not Lucas.

Fun, nonetheless... these lads either do a heck of a lot of study when it comes to film or they had some grown-up assistance; either way, the end results are superb!

May the Farce be With Us All :wink:

Very, VERY funny, but possibly not entirely safe for work if you have a draconian web policy.

Thanks for the warning. We do have a draconian web policy I'll have to click on it when I get home as now my curiosity is getting the best of me.
