Legoland California adds Death Star model to ’Star Wars’ display

At 8-feet wide, 13-feet high and weighing more than 1900 pounds, the massive LEGO model is made out of more than 500,000 Lego bricks, featuring a planet-destroying super laser and includes a display of 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 Lego Death Star, guests are invited to use their imaginations to construct their own Lego starships at building stations while X-Wings, TIE Fighters and Y-Wings circle overhead.

The new Lego model display is Legoland California Resort’s latest major addition in Lego Star Wars Miniland which opened in 2011. The unveiling of the new Lego Star Wars Miniland Death Star Model Display kicks-off the fan favorite, Lego Star Wars Days event on March 7 and 8, where guests can spend the day participating in Star Wars related activities.
