What’s crazy is I never really realized the sheer scale of the senate. This really put it into perspective, that structure is absolutely massive, and probably one of the great architectural structures in the Star Wars universe.
"Honey, we had a date planned for 5 days ago, where have you been?!" "I HAVE BROUGHT PEACE, FREEDOM, JUSTICE, AND SECURITY TO MY NEW EMPIRE!" "Your new empire?" "Don't make me break up with you!"
I’m convinced that Star Wars MOC builders are actually just insane. The amount of planning, time, and money that went into this must have been immense. Absolutely incredible results.
well, depends on situation, connections etc. I am in Serbia, where average paycheck is 350 eur per month, and I have built 5m long Millennium Falcon from LEGO bricks - within one month
It’s also interesting to see that the Venn diagram of prequel fans and Lego Star Wars fans is basically a circle. But of course it would be, Lego Star Wars first came out when the Prequels did. George Lucas was many things, but business stupid was NOT one of them.

As kid you couldn't afford LEGO. As an adult you don't want to pay for LEGO because it's double the price for half the bricks and little to no thought being put in the designs

Really gives you a sense of scale, if this is the senate chamber then imagine how big and how many pieces it would take to build the entire senate building scaled to minifigure size.
A lot considering a mini fog scale ISD is a warehouse, a super Star destroyer is a football field (US), the death star is a small asteroid. So the Jedi temple will be the side of a Cosco and the Sentient building will be around that size as well.
Amazing project! This MOC will definitely be remembered for years to come. Such a large undertaking, and I love how you were able to include the public in the building of the pods. Great way to get people involved and avoid some repetitive building tasks, too!
This is incredible! Didn't think I would ever see anyone even attempt one on a much smaller scale. Everyone who took part in this MOC did an amazing job!!!
Each row of pods had it's own halway on it's own floor of the building which also had apartments for all the senators. Think about how big this building was then. Think about it. Think about the hundreds of security points and the docks for shuttles to take the senators elsewhere in the city.
That's exactly why I like to read certain kinds of science fiction novels. That sense of scale, of enormous distances and objects. As in the ending of Alastair Reynolds' House of Suns or Pushing Ice. Makes me feel so insignificant yet hopeful of the possibility that one day the human race might actually go out into that void and build something momentous. Although it would look nothing like the Star Wars Universe ;-)
if that is true, that would be the most idiotic structure ever built. having such assembly already present logistical and security challenges when ppl gather, imagine if ppl had to live there as well! (just think about the mess in midtown when the UN gathers). and this is even without considering issues coming from natural disasters. bottom line: a good design would MINIMIZE ppl gather in a single place (ie single point of failure), not increase it!
Hey! When I watched these scenes in the films, I knew the Galactic Senate was huge, but your build REALLY gave it a true sense of scale! Danke schoen!❤ Also, thanks for including the ET's!😂
Ich habe da auch ein so einen Blkon mitgebaut. Das war so cool das in Oberhausen gesehen zu haben. Meine Minifigur war ein Scouttrooper, weil jeder Mitspracherecht in der Galaxis haben sollte, auch Sturmtruppen
Wow! You went for it full on with this build. I feel like there should be a museum which is dedicated to LEGO Star Wars scenes - and this should be in there.
Thanks for uploading the senate MOC video in this channel, it looked like such an awesome project! I also love watching the museum vlogs on your main channel, but I don't know much German so can only appreciate the visuals there. Can't wait to see the Lego Museum open soon, and please make a video on this channel when that happens. Greetings from Asia! 👋
4:04 That is called an "in joke" to Steven Spielberg. The same thing was done to George in the "Pinky and The Brain" cartoons. The chalkboard has THX1138 at the bottom in the opening sequence.
In reality a senate build like this would be so impractical, the guys on the bottom would have to look up so much, you wouldn't be able to see anyone properly.
No… in TCW and the Prequels we can clearly see two things: every pod has a miniature Hologramm projecting the speaker and there is a giant Hologramm of the speaker projected in the middle(most of the time)
@@sergeantsharkseant If everyone is forced to look at holograms why even travel across the entire galaxy and not just do this senate from their home planet?
@@kabhes9040 Like in the first episode, communications can be cut-off in case of an invasion. With a senator physicaly present, you still have someone able to represent your planet among the republic. Also, a physical presence to a meeting or an assembly might seem a little more "respectful" than a simple call, like it is IRL with political leaders, even if they could just have a visio-conference...
Allowing someone to build a senate pod and in exchange letting them put their own minifigures in them was such an awesome idea. It offloads a huge part of the labor while also enabling a large variety of the different “species” to be present.
Okay, this is pretty cool. Also just going to appreciate that it's not simple, each one of those layers for the pods needs a custom wall. While the pods are replicated, the main structure and floor panels are replicated, the walls all have to be custom fit into place, even if it really is just extending the edges one stud or so, but that's one of those things that a lot of people may not appreciate, and you didn't mention it in the video.
I have never played with LEGO’s before but the idea of havIng the fans come in and get to build interact and personalize there own little parts is such a Fantastic idea! 👏
the ULTIMATE UCF set- "the truck pulled up- the package is 25'x10'x20'- once the forklift gets it off I can't WAIT to unbox this!! price is a bit high- but the wife said I could sell the house..."
haha yeah that is cool, especially since they say the Phantom Menace had a ton of miniatures, this lego version is like what if Revenge of the Sith used practical effects more lol
Alternatively, you could've also made the senate with significantly fewer pieces using just a Palpatine minifigure
😂 You win

This is gold 😂
Not yet
It's treason then...
What’s crazy is I never really realized the sheer scale of the senate. This really put it into perspective, that structure is absolutely massive, and probably one of the great architectural structures in the Star Wars universe.
I mean the sheer scale of the senate is about the size of a single minifigure 😏
bro imagine having your representative sit at the bottom of the senate
Death star? Lol
Definitely one of the architectural structures of all time
The entire planet is literally a city miles deep.
This is the kind of build that should be displayed in lego land

"I HAVE BROUGHT PEACE, FREEDOM, JUSTICE, AND SECURITY TO MY NEW EMPIRE!"
"Your new empire?"
"Don't make me break up with you!"

That's absolutely awesome! But now I want to see the minifigures in every single pod!
This MOC really puts into perspective how massive the galactic senate is. Absolutely wild!
I'm glad to witness this amazing Galactic Senate build in video format, the photos don't give it enough justice.
Hey! When I watched these scenes in the films, I knew the Galactic Senate was huge, but your build REALLY gave it a true sense of scale! Danke schoen!❤ Also, thanks for including the ET's!😂
The ET figures really tie the whole thing together
The ET race is officailly cannon in Star wars.
Image if et went light years to earth to avoid the wrath of palpatine

This really is a crazy build. I mean the time and dedication. I would love to work on a moc like this even if it was just the monotonous things.
I love star wars I seen every movie
Such an incredible build on a location I never would have expected see replicated, fantastic work!
Dude I wish Lego would put this much effort in designing their own sets!! Great job!
For the cost of lego in this picture, you probably could have bought a house.
Either way, damn good work!

I wonder how many times they said “I am the Senate!” while building this?
Does Guinness World Records know you all made this? This has to be some Star Wars LEGO record.
Amazing, do you have instruction and part list for the senate pod?
This is so breathtaking. I’m so blown away by it. I never thought that entire scene could be made in Lego.
