PHOTOS: Massive Star Wars: The Force Awakens Model to be Unveiled at LEGOLAND Florida

On May 4, the Star Wars: The Force Awakens MINILAND Model Display will take its final landing place in the center of LEGOLAND Florida Resort’s outdoor LEGO display area of the theme park. Created by a team of Master Model Builders, the giant display will feature memorable moments from Episode VII of the popular Star Wars saga enhanced with lights, sound effects, and animation. The model addition includes the 16-foot-long Star Destroyer Finalizer, made of more than 350,000 LEGO bricks.

The new display includes six exciting scenes set on the planet of Jakku, from Star Wars: The Force Awakens which include: Kylo Ren’s capture of Poe; Rey’s rescue of BB-8; Poe and Finn’s escape from the Star Destroyer Finalizer; The wreck of Finn and Poe’s TIE Fighter; Rey, Finn and BB-8’s escape from Niima Outpost; and the escape from the Starship Graveyard.

Just in time for the installation of this new display, a brand new character has arrived at LEGOLAND Florida Resort. The fearsome First Order Stormtrooper of the blockbuster Star Wars film franchise, LEGO Captain Phasma was spotted inspecting the model to ensure perfection ahead of its installation.

The giant new model is the highlight of LEGO Star Wars Days. This exclusive event begins May 5 and runs for three consecutive weekends – more event days than ever before. All activities are included with all forms of park admission. No extra ticket or Jedi mind tricks required.
