Star War Fans Celebrate May the 4th

Star War fans have a long wait until Star Wars: The Force Awakens releases in December. In the meantime fans are finding ways to celebrate Star Wars Day today. A father and son team of Lego master builders worked with fans to build a model of the Millennium Force with 250,000 Lego bricks.

Dan and Chris Steininger took on the project in the Westfield Southland mall in Melbourne, Australia. The finished spacecraft measured 5 meters was completed in two days.
