When I saw the cover of this book, I knew that my kids would enjoy it – not only because they are fans of Star Wars but because they also enjoy Lego. I suspect that it will also give them some ideas on how to create fun scenes with their own Star Wars Lego in order to develop their creative side.
This book was created by Finnish photographer Vesa Lehtimäki using his son's favorite toys. The book features painstaking recreations of classic movie moments and hilarious new takes on fan-favorite characters and themes. You will also find some Informative captions give technical details for each scene, while anecdotes from Lehtimäki offer background insights to his creative process. It is a book about very original scenes using Lego.
The book is divided in four sections – Tatooine, Hoth, Endor and behind the scenes. In the last section, the reader will learn more about how the photograph has created his scenes and the process to get stunning photographs.
LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy is a breathtaking new look at a timeless icon that allows fans to see their favorite minifigures from the classic saga in an exciting new way.
After visualizing these images, it encourages me to develop of creative side using things like Lego figures. I suspect it will also stir the creativity of my own kids particularly my son Dominic who is more prone to do things like Lego movie with his iPad. I would consider this more like a coffee table book – the kid you leave in your living room for people to go through. It could make a wonderful gift to the child who enjoys Lego Star Wars and that you know he/she would be able to do fun things like this.
