In a massive tentacled disturbance in the Force, Iain Heath constructed a giant LEGO kraken to entwine a model of Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer. The stellar squid began as a suggestion from his boss, and it now has a permanent home at the Seattle offices of Tableau Software....In honor of May the 4th, aka the unofficially official holiday that is Star Wars Day, LEGO has announced a new play set that should send fans into a giddy frenzy.
It's called the "LEGO Star Wars Death Star Final Duel," and it will be available in June. As the title suggests, the set features a buildable version of the Emperor's throne room from the second Death Star, where Luke's climactic fight occurred against Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine himself. The new set includes some really sweet details that Lego and Star Wars fans will appreciate. A pair of the Emperor's personal "Crimson Guards" are in there, along with some cool lightning bolt attachments for the Emperor (for when he shoots them out of his hands), handcuffs for Luke and a two-level diorama area where you can recreate all the action from that fateful scene. However, there's one detail in particular that makes this set extra special — particularly if you're a Minifigure collector. For the first time ever, LEGO is releasing a Darth Vader Minifigure with a more accurate helmet that comes in two pieces: the mask and the life support collar. Remember when Luke removes his father's mask at the end of Return of the Jedi, and the facepiece comes off but the collar remains on?
"Just for once ... let me look on you ... with my own eyes," Vader says. There will soon exist a Minifigure that can do this very thing. Thanks to our friends at LEGO, we're pleased to present these closeups of the new life support collar and separate helmet/mask. Be sure to follow T-Lounge on Twitter and visit our Facebook page.

Though it might rob the trailer of some of its most tense dramatic moments, the Lego take on the final Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer makes up for what it lacks in drama with adorable recreations. The trailer blends Lego minifigs and landscapes with actual footage from the trailer as the original audio plays. So while the landscapes of Jakku mix Lego pallets with real-life horizons, details like Darth Vader’s melted mask and TIE Fighter fights take an all-Lego focus.

Now you too can venerate an idol of Darth Vader if you pony up a cool $3,500 for this official replica., the mask is made using a 3D digital model of the real prop used in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The piece is hand-finished by a master craftsman, explaining the eye-popping price tag. Watch the production video to see the build come together:"This is not a toy," the site warns. "It is not meant to be worn as a costume, and does not contain any moving parts." Just 500 will be made, so act fast, aspiring Sith Lords.
