MASSIVE LEGO STAR WARS 15TH ANNIVERSARY MINIFIGURE CASE – SPECIAL PREVIEW AT STARWARS.COM

Posted on by

Via StarWars.com:

Everything is awesome about this huge LEGO Star Wars minifigure case.

Built in honor of LEGO Star Wars‘ 15th anniversary, the case will be unveiled this week at San Diego Comic-Con — and StarWars.com has your first look. Containing every LEGO Star Wars minifigure ever made, space for creatures, and huge lightsabers as part of the frame, the case is an amazing testament to the combined popularity (and fun) of the Force and bricks.

Fun facts:

  • Includes over 600 LEGO Star Wars minifigures, one of everyone minifigure ever produced
  • Measures 6.5’ high
  • Includes  54,404 LEGO bricks
  • Required 500 hours to design and build
  • Weighs 268 lbs.

According to Erik Varszegi, the LEGO master model builder behind the case, “It was an exciting but exhausting project to put together. Even though many of the minifigures came from my own collection, none of us in the Model Shop realized just how many there were after 15 years of LEGO Star Wars. The number of them kept ramping up and up after doing all of the research, especially when you add in simple production variants and all the non-minifigure characters. For example, you have to have Artoo in there even though he is essentially built from modified LEGO bricks and if you have him then you need to add in all the other brick-built droids. And you can’t leave out Jabba either… if you have him you need to have things like the rancor, wampa and the tauntauns.” Thankfully, with LEGO Star Wars still going strong, Varszegi included a little extra room.

“We also were careful to design it for future growth,” he said, “by leaving room in the cabinet for many more years of characters from the future Star Warsfilms. Hopefully it will take us into the 20th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars.”

Be sure to see it for yourself at LEGO’s SDCC booth, #2829!

Star Wars Clube Portugal Interviews Darren Marshall

Posted on by

Darren Marshall is a sculptor and artist designer who designed the characters for the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Before joining the series, Marshall had worked for ILM and was approached by Dave Filoni, supervising production of Clone Wars, which saw some of its models and asked him to come and work in this series. In this work, Marshall made the clay sculptures of the central characters as well as characters who had appeared in other media from Star Wars, so you could see how 3D would get during the series.

Full-scale 3D Printed R2-D2

Via 3dprint.com:

When it comes to movies, there is not a single film series that has as large of a following as that of Star Wars. The George Lucas created films began their journey into both movie history and the hearts of millions of fans back in 1977, with the first ever Star Wars movie. It was then followed by “The Empire Strikes Back” in 1980, and “Return of the Jedi” in 1983. Since then there have been 5 more Star Wars films released.

Today there still remains a huge following of fans, that participate in all sorts of creative activities related to the film. One man by the name of Andrew Radovich, and his wife Katie, have come up with something quite phenomenal with a little help from 3D printing.

It all started back in August of 2010, when Andrew, and Katie decided to take a trip to Orlando Florida and wait in line in hopes of getting to sit in the audience for a much-anticipated interview between Director George Lucus and host Jon Stewart. While they knew having the opportunity to watch the live interview would be an event to remember for the rest of their lives, what they didn’t know was that it was about to change their lives forever.
