The new Star Wars trailer recreated in LEGO

published 20 April 2015

In LEGO world, everything is awesome. And we all know the new Star Wars trailer is awesome. So put them both together and what do you get? Yes, that's right, something doubly awesome.

This fantastic LEGO version of the brand new trailer for Episode VII: The Force Awakens has been put together by LEGO specialists FinalFeature, utilising minifigs and bricks to recreate the 90-second clip.

The new baddies are rather less intimidating this time around but, somehow, that final scene still brings us close to tears. Almost as much as stepping on a discarded LEGO brick.

Compare and contrast by watching them both below - and watch their LEGO version of the film's first trailer (including a magnificently improvised BB-8) for good measure as well.
