Yoda Does Times Square! (5-26-13)


Ute Sonnenberg reminded us in one of her recent blogs to keep our handy dandy cameras ever-ready for the unexpected.
Thanks, Ute!
On a "breath of fresh air" dinner break from work on Friday evening I came across a rather compelling Times Square exhibit, the world’s largest Lego model -- a replica of Luke Skywalker's iconic spaceship from the Star Wars movies.
According to an article in the Christian Science Monitor:
The structure took 17,000 hours and 32 LEGO builders working around the clock in the Czech Republic. As part of a display that also includes life-sized LEGO models of Darth Vader, Yoda, and R2D2, it will be in New York’s Times Square through Saturday to promote an array of "Star Wars" productions, including the animated TV miniseries “The Yoda Chronicles” on Cartoon Network, the animated series “Rebels,” and the J.J. Abrams film set to hit theaters in 2015. Following its Times Square stint, the X-wing will land permanently at LEGOLAND California.
