OK, I'm posting this a bit late since it's already the 5th, but I still feel like sharing: To celebrate Star Wars Day, I've begun building the LEGO Star Destroyer I had bought last month at the local Pop Culture Expo. And in the off-chance anyone would find this remotely interesting, I've been taking pictures of my progress & posting them to Facebook.

For those who aren't on good terms with Facebook, here're the pics on Photobucket.

Fun fun! I remember back in the late 90s, 3D cut foam puzzles were popular and my kids enjoyed trying to put together the 3D Star Destroyer puzzle. At least with Legos, you can move things around!

Oh yeah, I loved those 3D puzzles too! I have a Millenium Falcon that I still need to build, in fact - and, of course, a 1:3 (rough estimate) scale R2-D2.

Wishing I had the money to buy my son The Pearl and the Revenge, because the pirates in us were squeeing big time when we saw them, and well...hello, PIRATE!...SHIPS.

He's never had big lego builds(I bought him a couple of mini PotC battle scene sets), so that would be an awesome Mother and son family project...not to mention a pretty awesome display of a real battle on the high seas(tries to hit that note, and laments her lost range). I'd build a shelf box special for that one.
