Fallenangel Posted November 2, 2011 A couple years back, I came across a site on which someone had depicted the entire Original Trilogy in LEGO form via a number of brickbuilt scenes for each film. I believe the project was completed well before The LEGO Group obtained the license, featuring stormtroopers in racer helmets and Artoo with robot arms for legs. Vader I remember wore a black Castle helmet. There were other things, such as an enormous and multicolored brickbuilt Falcon and some very blocky TIE fighters. Does anyone here know what I'm talking about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was talking about it a while ago, after some extended searching also for the same stuff : http://www.hothbricks.com/2011/10/vintage-lego-star-wars-trilogy-par-maestro-s-fujita/ Edited November 2, 2011 by willybob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel Posted November 2, 2011 That's the very same one. It's even more impressive than I remember it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willybob Posted November 2, 2011 That's the very same one. It's even more impressive than I remember it! I was very impressed by the work of this guy, specially when you put all his work back in the time perspective. It's a luck that his work is still online....

Future74 Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Great find! I really enjoy reading through all these scenes. I agree that his work is very impressive, of course in back of the time perspective. Is anyone going to remake this? I think this would make a great community (LDD) build! It kinda like the build that is already going on.

lego envy Posted November 2, 2011 Just look at how much stuff looks like the lego SW now{today}.... very cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted November 2, 2011 Hey, I remember this! I found it about five years ago, (through BL links, maybe?) but forgot all about it. I remember back then, I wasn't an MOCer, so the fact that someone could do all that before the sets were first produced blew me away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praiter Yed Posted November 2, 2011 Before I read through the posts and realised you'd found it, my first thought was this one which is also worth a look and has some well built stuff. He also includes instructions for some of the models he's built but I can't open any of them because I don't have MLCAD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
will Posted November 2, 2011 That's very impressive given how long ago it was made. Shame the instructions for the falcon aren't on there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hollander Posted November 2, 2011 I was actually thinking about those creations last week, glad you opened a thread about it angel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper Posted November 3, 2011 First time I've seen these and they're very impressive. Shows how much can be done with "just" pre-specialization LEGO. Some shots still look good by today's standards, I love this one: Some of the minifig substitutions were hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clone OPatra Posted November 3, 2011 That's totally awesome. Thanks fallenangel for bringing this up and willybob for the link! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wokajablocka Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) This is so well done being built in 1992. Even with non lisenced characters it looks so accurite. This is awsome and should stay on the net for years to come. I love the brick built Mon calimari, they look so cool .

Cedric the Brick Posted November 3, 2011 Sorry for off-topic, but does anyone know the link for the page on EB, where those funny SW comic photos are in? I know it was on main page some months ago, but now, i can't find it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaitan Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) I might be missing something here, but if this was done in 1992, how come it seems to use Lando's head, a piece that didn't exist until 2003? (according to bricklink) Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing piece of work and better than a lot of post licence models I've seen!

Kaitan the Confused You're right, Lego had all yellow figures until '03. Its all very impressive of course but not as good as if it was all done back in '92.

Look carefully; it's the standard mustache head, customized to be brown. He says on the About page that he customized four heads; Yoda and the Emperor are two of the other ones, and Jabba may be the fourth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
