[MOC] "Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"

[Artizan]

 

Lego Star Wars moc of the opera scene from Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, where Palpatine tells the story of Darth Plagueis to Anakin. I wanted to build something unique for the 20th anniversary of ROTS.

Formidable build! It captures the original scene from the movie quite well. I love how the smaller-scaled odium fits perfectly with the minifigure-scale balcony box, creating a perspective effect

This is fantastic! I love your parts usage for the jellyfish stuff.

Thanks guys! The "jellyfish stuff" are actually Mon Calamari ballet dancers of the Squid Lake opera :)

Beautiful! Thank you for brining this scene to life in lego.

Oh my god I freaking love the forced perspective on this one ! Great build of a scene I have never seen in LEGO before.

[Feuer Zug]

Amazing work. Details are good where they need to be, but still allow for the grandeur of the scene to be displayed.

I love it! The forced perspective is great and the paneling details too. I especially like the chairs, really clever! I need to reverse engineer them 

[baublitz]

Excellent! I love the use of studs for the crowd. Nice mix of colorful and serious.

Thanks people!

No need for reverse engineering, I can take a pic of the disassembled chair:) The empty seat is slightly different than the ones Anakin and Palpatine are sitting on.

That would be great! I got stuck with the backrest

This scene has always been one of my favorites, with the spectacle of the spheres, and the whole assembly dressed up for the evening at the theater!

...and least but not least the beginning of Anakin's destructive drift...
