The Star Wars Alphabet Project

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the going-where-lucas-has-not dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A ship for every *other* letter in the alphabet. Jon Palmer is creating a Star Wars fighter out of LEGO for every letter in the alphabet (minus X,Y,B,A,E and V). He has about 5 to go. Check out the project on From Bricks to Bothans." I have to admit, some of these look even cooler than the ships created for the newer Star Wars movies.

    When you're 40, and all you do every day is build lego starwars ships... you really have to step back, and take a long hard look at your life.

      A-Wing, B-Wing, Christ, got much imagination Lucas?

      He's the Microsoft of the Sci-Fi world. But you have to admit, the /home-Wing, /usr-Wing and the /etc-Wing don't sound that impressive.
