      <![CDATA[<p>Two things caught my eye this week. Is it a coincidence they were both Star Wars related? I think not. First up, a simply staggering <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23575410@N05/">recreation of Echo Base in LEGO</a>. </p>

<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><div style="text-align: center; width: 525px;"><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.majordojo.com/assets_c/2010/01/echobase-thumb-640xauto-3310.jpg" title="Echo Base in LEGO"><img alt="Echo Base in LEGO" src="http://www.majordojo.com/assets_c/2010/01/echobase-thumb-525x393-3310.jpg" width="525" height="393" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></a></div></span></p>

<p>The complex required well over 20,000 lego tiles and 160 lights. It is over 6'x12' and takes up an entire garage. Mark Borlase, you have my infinite admiration. </p>

<p>Next up, <a href="http://ratherchildish.wordpress.com/">a site devoted to recreating shots from the original trilogy using the original old-school figures</a>.</p>

<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><div style="text-align: center; width: 525px;"><a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.majordojo.com/2010/01/24/vintage_deathstardroid_deathsquadcomander_12back.jpg" title="Death Star Droid Figurine"><img alt="Death Star Droid Figurine" src="http://www.majordojo.com/assets_c/2010/01/vintage_deathstardroid_deathsquadcomander_12back-thumb-525x476-3312.jpg" width="525" height="476" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></a></div></span></p>

<p>As someone who still has a few figures from the original trilogy lying around somewhere, I have to admire the artistry in the photography, the excellent use of depth of field and lighting, not to mention making cheap-o figures look like a million bucks.</p>
