If you’re a long-time reader of The Brothers Brick, you know we tend to praise the talent of the best LEGO builders out there. A recent diorama by Abe Fortier (aka Hypolite Bricks), the first of 12  tributes to Rogue One, is technically masterful. Lah’mu’s landscape with a cutaway of the dark soil, the domed homestead, and the builder’s signature black frame at the base are absolutely top-notch. The vignette effortlessly captures the entire plot of the scene.

And yet, there’s one little detail that leaves me longing. You see, Abe’s build doesn’t quite capture the scene’s tension and desperation! Yes, glossy and colorful LEGO bricks are to blame. I wish the grass wasn’t quite this bright, and if only there was a way to build that unsettling, stormy wind that hangs in the air during the tense exchange…

Nevertheless, Abe reached the ultimate goal: he made me wish this were an official LEGO set. Seriously—what a perfect candidate for an 18+ diorama. Give us more Rogue One sets like this, LEGO!

And by the way, don’t miss the detailed video showing the building process. Or feel free to revisit the movie’s opening scene to soak in its dull, unsettling vibe once again.
