  • A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, made of very small Lego bricks...

    The indoor Star Wars Miniland Experience recreates scenes from the Star Wars films and animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, using around 1.5 million Lego bricks. The new attraction at Legoland Windsor, just outside London, opened earlier this year.

    Here in Lego is the Millennium Falcon - the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs - one of the most iconic Star Wars spaceships.

  • Millennium Falcon cockpit

    The Legoland attraction features about 2,000 Lego models in 1:20 scale from the planets Naboo, Geonosis, Kashyyyk, Mustafar, Tatooine, Hoth, Endor and Christophsis. Some 55 million Lego bricks are used across the whole park. Here's a close-up of Chewbacca and Han Solo in the cockpit.

  • Sand People - Tusken Raiders in Lego

    Here are some Tusken Raiders - Sand People - with their bantha. Easily startled, according to old Ben Kenobi.

    The cantina at Mos Eisley, or as Obi Wan described it: "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." Over in the right-hand corner, Greedo pulls a gun on Han Solo.

  • The Battle of Kashyyyk

    The Battle of Kashyyyk scene features the Clone Turbo Tank, which is made of 10,180 pieces of Lego and took 168 hours to build.

  • C-3PO in Lego

    Not all the models are mini though - here's a life-size C-3PO.
