Someone Built The Hangar From Star Wars: The Force Awakens In LEGO

LEGO toys have long captured the imagination of children and adults alike, but for fans like LegoSpencer, the toys have helped them build works of art.

With nearly 6,000 Youtube subscribers, LegoSpencer is a LEGO artist who shares his original creations online with fans. And, recently, LegoSpencer uploaded photos of his newest work which recreates the hanger of the First Order's star destroyer Finalizer from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. If you've seen the film, you'll likely remember the familiar set from the beginning of the movie when Poe and Finn secretly lift a TIE fighter from the hangar and escape from the First Order before crash landing on Jakku.

LegoSpencer has created dozens of LEGO MOCs (My Own Creations) that are inspired by the Star Wars franchise in painstaking detail, and Finalizer's Hangar might be one of his most complicated yet. In a breakdown video on his channel, LegoSpencer tells viewers that his diorama is, "128 studs long, 48 deep, and 50 bricks tall," and that it's also, "filled with mini-figs and of course the 4 TIE Fighters!"

He went on to say that the piece involved lots of experimentation and took roughly 6 weeks to build from start to finish. Equipped with 4 TIE Fighters, the recreation also features familiar Stormtrooper mini-figures, and of course, Poe and Finn can be found in the cockpit of their hijacked ship. LegoSpencer also created removable elements for the piece like stair housings to create a thorough replica of the actual set from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

While LegoSpencer has been uploading his creations for years now, LEGO first partnered with Star Wars in 1999 to create licensed build-sets for fans of all ages. The first Star Wars set produced allowed fans to create X-Wing fighters that were seen in the franchise's original trilogy. LEGO's releases then coincided with the release of The Phantom Menace in May 1999, and since then, LEGO has produced hundreds of sets based off Star Wars' films, animated television series, and more.

If you're a fan of LEGO and Star Wars, now is a great time to start building your own intergalactic MOCs. If you need pointers, it seems like LegoSpencer might be taking requests. So, what kind of Star War LEGO builds would you like to see? Leave a comment below and tell us what you'd want to build!
