If you've never tried freezer paper stenciling the how-to video is HERE. It's kind of nice because the paper seals pretty well to the shirt and I can let the boys help out with the painting. I still paint too, but they love to be a part of it. And both little Jedis are happy. (The light swords are from HERE.) Sorry, we can't find that page! It might be an old link or maybe it moved.

Originally it was only licensed from 1999–2008, but the Lego Group extended the license with Lucasfilm Ltd. multiple times: First to 2011 and then again until 2016. In 2012 another 10-year agreement was signed between the two companies. The brand has spawned five video game releases, developed by Traveller's Tales — Lego Star Wars: The Video Game (2005), Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (2006), Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (2007), Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars (2011), and Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2016).

Sets based on the prequel trilogy (Episodes 1 to 3) of Star Wars would follow, starting with Episode I. As each new film in the prequel trilogy neared its release date, Lego issued new models of ships and scenes in those films, as well as additional sets from the original trilogy. Lego also produced models based on The Clone Wars, which was released early in 2008.[1] Sets based on The Force Awakens, Rogue One and Star Wars Rebels have also been produced.

At 5195 pieces, it is the largest Star Wars Lego set ever released; and the second largest set of any collection ever commercially released (only topped by the Lego Taj Mahal).

[10] The comics are largely satirical looks at flaws in certain sets, or spoofs of Lego characteristics as to how these would fit into the actual Star Wars universe.

FBTB.net. URL Accessed on 26 November 2006You come expecting the youthful exuberance of Finn, Rey and BB-8 and instead you’re treated to a thick shot of greatest hits nostalgia. The first 30 minutes of LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a victory lap of every battlefront featured in Return Of The Jedi’s Battle Of Endor. It’s a fitting start. Eleven years ago it was in Star Wars’ universe that TT Games established a template for its multi-billion-dollar business: recreating megawatt movie franchises in digital LEGO.
Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, The Lord Of The Rings, Jurassic Park — few big blockbusters have avoided the brick treatment. Understandable, then, that in returning to the galaxy where it all began, the studio should first pay tribute to the Empire that built an empire. No cinematic blockbuster fits the LEGO template quite so snugly. LEGO’s elemental appeal, as any child can tell you, is the joy of building a house then knocking it down again in a shower of plastic bricks — something particularly suited to a Jedi’s unique abilities. With a humming swish they can wreak destruction with a lightsaber. Then, with a quiet wave of a hand, reassemble the wreckage. In this way LEGO Star Wars allows us to smash a tree into its plastic molecules, then rebuild it as a ladder, an anti-aircraft gun, or a switch for BB-8 to turn with his gyrating torso. The game follows a now familiar rhythm. It breaks the film’s story into a series of chapters, providing a slapstick but faithful take on the original work.
You control a vast and expanding cast of characters — everyone from the marquee stars to the bit-part characters that only the most studious Star-gazer will recognise. Each has an ability that must be used like a key to solve the lock of specific puzzles. Rey, for example, is a natural gymnast, able to fling her staff into cracks where it becomes an impromptu pole, which she can swing on to reach ledges. Chewbacca can lob grenades that explode otherwise impervious silver bricks. When it comes to faraway switches that can only be reached with a blaster bullet, Han Solo always shoots first. You can switch between characters with ease, while each level strains at the seams with secrets that can only be accessed when you’ve unlocked the requisite personas and returned for a second play-through. For veterans, The Force Awakens introduces a clutch of new ideas to go along with its pristine new game engine, which renders the LEGO world with unrivalled weight and sheen. One example being the sections when you must hide behind cover in a shoot-out, the game switching to an over-the-shoulder camera view as you line up headshots as if playing Gears Of War.
