LEGO Star Wars Death Star

Lego is not just for kids anymore. Sure, you still have the Duplo Lego which is suited for small children but for older kids and the kids-at-heart, they prefer intricate and complex themed sets like the Lego Star Wars Death Star (10188) by Lego.

The Death Star is a moon-sized space station and superweapon that can destroy a planet with one super charged energy beam. In Star Wars: A New Hope, the Death Star was commanded by Grand Moff Tarkin and he was trying to find Leia Organa who had the station's schematics and was planning to give it to the Rebel Alliance. Leia was eventually captured but not before transferring the information to a droid named R2-D2.

The droid came across Luke Skywalker and was eventually found by Obi Wan Kenobi. Obi Wan began training Luke in using The Force while en route to Leia's planet Alderaan so they can give the schematics of the Death Star to Leia's father. While under captive, Leia was forced to watch as Alderaan was blown to pieces by the Death Star, and was later on rescued by Luke and Han Solo while destroying the space station in the process.
