Day 1,010, Quasi-Quarantine: Playful And Creative Are The Themes For The Next Five "Star Wars" Advent Calendar Reveals

 

While the first five days paid tribute to the Clone Wars and the second five days primarily honored Tattooine, the third five days was a bit more eclectic, balancing lighthearted humor with impeccable mini-builds.

Day 11: V-35 Landspeeder
Day 12: Summer Vacation Darth Vader
Day 13: Darth Vader's Sandcastle
Day 14: B-Wing
Day 15: TIE Interceptor

This landspeeder version is a faithful representation of the one included in the dream-build set, Mos Eisley Cantina (75290), while both Darth Vader and his sandcastle (and his volleyball) were part of the Lego Star Wars Summier Vacation from August.

The B-Wing is an iconic, crowd-favorite spacecraft, and the hyper-clever TIE Interceptor is a really nuanced build. The indispensable Jay's Brick Blog played a big role in helping me ensure I built things the right way, since the included instructions are not always easy to view.

Kudos to the Lego team for threading the needle here on offering enough for both kids and adult builders. Every day is a revelation, so I can't wait to see what the team comes up with down the stretch!
