LEGOLAND windsor: star wars miniland

Death Star That's no moon... That's what Obi-Wan Kenobi said upon approaching the Death Star. But when I saw the reproduction in LEGO Star Wars Miniland Model Display at LEGOLAND Windsor, I was lost for words! Together with my tita 's (aunt's) family,  I visited the resort  last June, and their latest addition is the  recreation of Darth Vader’s ultimate super weapon.

Imagine my twelve-year-old self's delight (and confusion - why is the fourth film Episode I? ) when the first prequel was released. I think that was the moment I truly fell in love with Star Wars. The Phantom Menace instantly became my favorite Star Wars film. Later on in life, I was shocked to learn that a lot were disappointed by it to the point that they pretended it doesn't exist! But not me. I was fascinated with everything, from the new versions of lightsabers (double-sided!) to the shiny spacecrafts (N-1!). That's why when my wife and I visited the first (and only) LEGO Certified Store in ...
