Lego Star Wars is already very much a thing, as those of us who’ve poured hours into the video games, smashing up Lego Death Stars and swinging lightsabers at Lego stormtroopers, will attest.
However, the long-awaited teaser trailer for the J.J. Abrams-directed Star Wars – Episode VII: The Force Awakens arrived over the weekend, and some devoted fan went ahead and crafted a Lego version of it by hand:
The creator, a YouTube user by the name of Snooperking, said of his handiwork:
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 thingy, a mini tie fighter, tried to build all the sets, and get all my minifigures put together… then just filming took forever especially the the special effects… i tried stop motion in front of the green screen and that was hard and by this time it was 3am so like more than 12 hours (i took a 3 hour break somewhere) and then finally gave up and used sewing string for the X-Wing and just kind of moved my camera around the falcon, i wasn’t as happy with the falcon shot but i cant work on it at all today so i had to finish it like 4 hours ago, but i just woke up to go to my grandparents house, and now you know everything about how it was made!! 😛
The tl;dr version is “I am an adult and I regret nothing about the hours it took to put this together.”
