LEGOLAND Florida is offering Star Wars fans a unique way to celebrate May the Fourth (May 4) with a special unveiling and the kickoff of its Star Wars Days this month.

Visitors can see the intricate LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens MINILAND model display, which 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.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens MINILAND model display includes six exciting scenes set on the planet of Jakku, from Star Wars: The Force Awakens: 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.

Plus, a new Star Wars character has arrived at LEGOLAND Florida. The fearsome First Order Stormtrooper, LEGO Captain Phasma, was spotted inspecting the model to ensure perfection ahead of its installation. She will be meeting guests during Star Wars Days.
