Force Awakens Luke Skywalker Life-Size Lego Statue Coming Soon to the San Diego Comic Con!

Force Awakens Luke Skywalker Life-Size Lego Statue Coming Soon to the San Diego Comic Con!

Jedinews.co.uk reports that coming soon to the San Diego Comic Con this weekend, will be a life-sized Lego statue of Luke Skywalker from the Force Awakens (tip of the hat to Starwarsunderworld.com)!

Here’s what Lego had to say about the statue:

“The brickmeisters have emptied their bins and constructed this massive, life-size version of Luke Skywalker in his Jedi finery, as seen in the closing moments of Star Wars: The Force Awakens — and at the beginning of this December’s The Last Jedi — to dazzle visitors of San Diego Comic-Con.

Technically, Lego Luke is larger than life. The model, complete with robotic hand, stands over 6 feet tall; Mark Hamill tops out at 5-foot-9.

Lego’s “Master Builders” spent 277 hours designing and assembling this statue, using a whopping 36,743 bricks in the process. Luke is one of several giant figures populating the Lego booth at Comic-Con, which runs Thursday through Sunday.”

Here are a couple of photos of this cool statue:
