The Star Wars Trilogy Storyline -- In Legos
-homb- writes: "This Japanese Star Wars fanatic has done a series of 180 pictures telling the whole story of the Star Wars Trilogy, illustrated entirely in Legos. Even the massive explosion of the Death Star is there. It took him 155 weeks to make it. One episode a year!"

Oh well. I didnt like my Karma that much anyway. At some point Slashdot, and Im talking to you guys in charge of approving the content, needs to wake up and remember that they are in control of a lumbering internet beast. You can't just point hundreds of thousand of users to a small web site and not expect to kill it. Nevermind one in JAPAN for gods sake. The whole damn place is connected to the net with 4 AOL accounts, 2 deaf monks doing sign langauge and a very tiny guy in a suit that just got tired of the lag and decided to get out and push. Something really does need to be done here. Notify the admins before posting a story, mirror the site locally, have a mirror pool of users that will mirror sites before a story hits. Do Something! We wouldnt stand for it if CNN burned down the house of the person they just interviewed, why should /. be any different? Come on Rob, you have the bandwidth. Time to be one of the big kids and use it for something other then a DoS attack on unsuspecting Japanese lego maniacs.
Time to put the gorilla on a leash guys.

This site is fantastic. It certainly will help to combat the stereotype of the Japanese as little obsessive-compulsive types who fetishise anything related to technology and/or sci-fi, with strange hobbies and no lives. I mean, after seeing something like this, the notions we have about the Japanese just get shot to pieces. I mean, what better way to teach that on their own time, for R+R, the Japanese aren't insanely drawn to exceedingly complex, difficult, pointless and time consuming pursuits in an effort to achieve perfection in something with absolutely no practical value.
To the otaku-zoku who put this together, I stand up and salute you. Thanks for debunking the myths. Next week, a man who lovingly renders "tentacle-rapist alien attacks 14 year old schoolgirl anime" with a pointilist technique by cutting and pasting microscopic pieces of cloth from "used schoolgirl underwear" vending machine panties.

"How did he get the first post?"
"He is a troll master. He can see stories before they're posted."
"Why did he post something so stupid?"
"He is Dark Troll. He can post things before he thinks about them.
That is what happens when one goes over to the Dark Side."
"I want to do that!"
"Why would you want to post such garbage?"
"I don't, I just want that k-leet flame power they get!"
"But *we* get to make cameos, and post articles!"
"Articles are laim."
"Remember, bad spelling leads to spelling flames. Spelling flames
lead to flame wars. And flame wars lead to... The Dark Side."

"If you moderate me down, I will post a response more powerful than
you can imagine!"
I verified all the images and they all look the same. Get it here. Note that I only mirror the english, not the Japanese.
Or get the whole thing zipped here.

This is hilarious!. Slashdot reading computer geeks (yes I'm one too) are now flaming this guy saying 'get a life'.
;)
Do the words Pot, Kettle and black mean anything to you guys?
a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of /.ers cried out in an attempt to load the page... and were DoSed.

Good judgment comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgment.
This is so beautiful. There is something esoteric about this kind of art. Like the ascimation it makes me want to toss a coin or two their way for making life seem just that more sureal.
I wish there was a way to tip him a few bucks. I'll send a card, but there should be a web service for this.

It's like the fat guy back in High School gym class. You may suck at gym, but the fat guy always makes you look good.
This guy is the fat guy of Star Wars fans.

These aren't the droids you're looking for.
I'll bet Vader was pissed when he found out that the Death Star was delayed 155 weeks because they couldn't find any of those little pieces with the holes on both sides.
...mirror things like this before it's posted...
Really, even if only temporarily... get permission, mirror it, and then post it.
