LEGO Star Wars Miniland Death Star Model Display at LEGOLAND California

Darth Vader used the Force to unveil the LEGO® Star Wars™ Miniland Death Star Model Display and ignite its superlaser during the opening ceremony at LEGOLAND® California Resort. The LEGO Death Star model is the latest major addition to LEGO® Star Wars™ Miniland and opens to guests on March 5, 2015. The massive LEGO space station model and its planet-destroying superlaser is 8-feet wide, 13-feet high, weighs more than 1900 pounds and is made out of more than 500,000 LEGO bricks. The new model display features iconic film scenes made of LEGO® bricks that were filmed inside the Galactic Empire’s space station including the famous trench run scene where Luke Skywalker maneuvered his X-wing fighter through the combat zone to destroy the Death Star. Adjacent to the planet-shaped LEGO model, guests are invited to use their imaginations to construct their own LEGO starships at building stations. Visit www.LEGOLAND.com for more!
