Fan bases of popular IP’s like Marvel and Star Wars are never afraid to show their creativity in exciting ways. Whether it’s through cosplay, art, fan films, or all kinds of other projects, fan-made creations can sometimes even surpass official product releases. Case in point: this custom Lego set was made by fans in tribute to the Star Wars films, specifically the prequels. The massive Lego set is a recreation of the Jedi temple featured heavily in the Star Wars prequel films, with a stunning level of detail that would even put officially licensed Lego sets to shame.
Designed by Interstellar Bricks, the Ultimate Custom Collector Series Jedi Temple is made up of 11,000 pieces, and for good reason. It’s an incredibly intricate Lego set that stays true to as many details as possible. While the Jedi Temple is never fully explored in the Star Wars prequel trilogy or the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, there are plenty of models and references online that show the different details of the iconic location. Now that this custom Lego set has finally been made, there are plenty of details that haven’t been made in a diorama like this before.
One such aspect of the Jedi Temple set is that it also comes with an interior that can be constructed as well, with the roof of the temple being able to be removed, revealing the meeting area for the Jedi High Council that has become synonymous with the prequels. There are five separate sections in this impressive set that can be taken apart, with the roof being removable to show the Council Room, which can also be removed to reveal the Jedi archive and Holocron chamber. Each room that is part of the diorama is incredibly detailed, with the additions all harking back to key moments in the movie series.
The Custom LEGO ‘Star Wars’ Set Comes At A Steep Price
As impressive as the set is, it’s unsurprising that the 11,000-piece product doesn’t come cheap. The online price for the custom product ranges from $950 – $1,100, an incredibly steep price but one that is likely worth it for the die-hard collectors who want the most accurate and detailed Jedi Temple available on the market. Custom Star Wars products are rampant throughout the online market, though this Lego set is on another level with its dedication to making a large-scale diorama of something that even the official Lego products have yet to release.
It will be interesting to see if Lego ever releases its own official version of the Jedi Temple, one of the few locations that the company has yet to make in a comprehensive set in a similar fashion to this fan-made creation. Lastly, it’s important to note that the estimated price for the set is for the pieces required to make it, and the instructions are available for purchase separately for $64.99. The creativity of Star Wars fans continues to lead to fun creations such as this set, and while the price is steep, it is also comparable to the more complex official Lego sets that have been released.
