LEGO Star Wars is one of the most popular LEGO themes of all time. Far beyond X-wings and TIE fighters, there’s a whole expanded universe of inspiration, and an army of LEGO fans ready to build whatever comes out of George Lucas’s head next.

Paul Lee steps into the Reasonably Clever Spooky Star Wars contest with this orange beast — the Cthulhu Terrain – Pumpkin Transport:

From concept through execution, Paul’s walker has “Winner” written all over it.

Taking science to questionable bounds

Tyler Clites (Legohaulic) presents two unusual creations dealing with the deviant wonders of science. His newest work is a Frankensteined version of the Slave I from Star Wars (built for Reasonably Clever’s Spooky Star Wars Contest).

His other recent work is a mech owned by the twisted Dr. Kringe. You can now see a video clip of the builder discussing this creation on LAMLtv!

Announcing the Reasonably Clever Spooky Star Wars Contest [w00t!]

Having just announced winners for the Brick Science contest, Reasonably Clever is now co-hosting a new contest with TK 1420.

The Spooky Star Wars Contest challenges you to build a spookified Star Wars vehicle, a scene, an impulse-size creation, or the death of Jar-Jar Binks. (I’m sure we’ve all dreamed of ways that would go down.)

Judges include Steve Sansweet and Mary Franklin from Lucasfilm, as well as TK 1420 and Chris Doyle.

You can win some out-of-circulation LEGO Star Wars sets, so what’re you still doing reading this? Get building!
