Death Star⢠Reviews - page 2 There isn’t one of us who doesn’t instantly revert back to childhood when standing in the LEGO aisle or taking a pilgrimage to a LEGO store. Remember when you were a kid, and you’d stare at that big wall of LEGO build kits, find the most intricate one, and with your optimistic child mind, still untainted by the stark realities of motor skills, attention span, and wily younger siblings, thinking I can build this? Then that cold, unforgiving sting of reality would hit you when you sat, back in your room, endless LEGO pieces strewn precariously about your floor. You would try to make sense of the instructions, but ultimately realize you could not build the masterpiece on the box, and ultimately just opt for building several small “houses” which were really just LEGO cubes, but you’d assure yourself that this was no failure.
You were simply too creative to be bound by the rules of instructions for LEGO fun. Regardless of how successful your LEGO endeavors have been, there is something truly impressive about a person successfully completing an intricate LEGO kit. YouTuber Bart van Dijk is an expert at not only completing some rad-looking LEGO builds, but also creating truly delightful stop-motion animations to go with the builds. Bart recently completed set number 75159, the Star Wars Death Star kit, and after expertly placing over 4,000 LEGO pieces, he managed to bring one of the most infamous space stations to life. This isn’t Bart’s first foray into the world of stop-motion LEGO building. His YouTube channel is filled with other amazing videos like his creation of the Beatles Yellow Submarine, Wall-E, a VW bus, and even the damn U.S. Capitol building. You can easily lose hours watching his totally amazing and mesmerizing builds. So go, watch, and be inspired to re-ignite your own passion for LEGO building.
In the comments, be sure to tell us one of your favorite successful (or unsuccessful, no shame here) LEGO build stories! Feature Image: Bart van Dijk/YoutubeTake command of the ultimate Imperial weapon—the Death Star! This amazing Star Wars model has so many great rooms, chambers, hangars and more, you won’t know where to start. Operate the giant superlaser from the control room, plan missions in the conference chamber, and launch Lord Vader's TIE Advanced from the hangar bay. Fix Droids in the maintenance room, keep prisoners secure in the detention block and overpower rebel starships with the spring-loaded shooter turbo laser, turbo laser towers and powerful tractor beam. You can even visit Emperor Palpatine in his throne room, keep things moving in the cargo area, and take out the trash in the trash compactor. And of course no Death Star story would be complete without Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo doing their best to destroy the Empire's fearsome Death Star! Will they foil the plans of Vader and the other Imperial characters?
The fate of the Death Star is in your hands…Lego’s Star Wars constructions kits are legendary. Even though the company has dozens of cool kits based on popular movies, there’s still nothing like seeing your favorite Star Wars characters miniaturized and given the proper Lego treatment. YouTube user Bar Van Dijkwent went a step further. He built the new Lego Death Star (Item #75159 to all the collectors) in front of a camera and put together a nice little stop-motion video for everyone. The results are incredible. Not only do we get to see how difficult it is to connect all 4016 Lego pieces in the right places, but we also get to watch iconic scenes on the Death Star come to life—like the ones in Emperor Palpatine’s throne room and the trash compactor. The creator even spliced in some audio from the original movies to really set the scene. This is by far the most satisfying Star Wars Lego video we’ve ever seen.Building the mammoth Death Star Lego set is the kind of project that can take weeks to finish, especially for beginner brick enthusiasts.
Amsterdam-based Lego fan Bart van Dijk didn't just build his Death Star Lego set, he also filmed the process. The result is an impressive stop-motion animation that shows every one of the 4,016 Lego pieces fitting seamlessly into place. The video shows the animated build accompanied by special effects sounds, Star Wars dialog and '80s-inspired music by Chill Carrier. You'll also see minifigs of Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Jedi Masters, Princess Leia, R2-D2, C-3PO and Chewbacca in action.Previously, van Dijk has created build videos for Lego sets of Disney castles. In the Star Wars universe, he's built a Rebel Combat Frigate, a TIE fighter and the Millennium Falcon.
