An extremely talented LEGO builder has created the ultimate Star Wars diorama. Several key moments from the Skywalker saga have been given the official brick-built treatment through various Star Wars LEGO sets and models released over the years. However, the desert world of Tatooine has never been recreated on a level and scale quite like this.
Instagram’s @beyondthebricktv has highlighted the impressive work of @yodasvodkalegomocs and their latest large-scale diorama, entitled “LEGO Star Wars Podracing.” With the Boonta Eve Classic as the central focus, two small-scale builds of Anakin Skywalker’s and Sebulba’s pods race around a big course utilizing a fully motorized track system. However, podracing is only the beginning of this incredible 170,000-piece LEGO display:
As seen in the above video, this epic LEGO display also features some of the most iconic Star Wars moments that take place on Tatooine.
Several Major Tatooine Moments Are Recreated in LEGO (And It’s Quite Impressive)
Without a doubt, the Boonta Eve Classic with the moving podracers is the big showstopper of this epic LEGO diorama, especially the start of the course with the fully built stands and structures seen in The Phantom Menace (and even a viewing box for Jabba the Hutt himself).
While LEGO did release an official Mos Espa Podrace Diorama in 2024 with Anakin and Sebulba’s pods, it’s got nothing on this. Likewise, the 170,000 pieces allow for so many epic moments to be created around the course as well.
This includes Anakin Skywalker as a Jedi Padawan attacking the Tusken Raider village in Attack of the Clones, Aurra Sing watching the race just like in The Phantom Menace, Jawas picking up R2-D2 from A New Hope, and even Qui-Gon and Darth Maul engaging in their first lightsaber duel.
However, my all-time favorite scene recreated in this mega LEGO MOC (“My Own Creation”) is the Sarlacc Pit as Han Solo tries to save Lando from the Great Pit of Carkoon.
Not only is there a full skiff positioned above, but the creature’s multiple tentacles are moving, having been connected to the motorized track system used for the podracers.
All in all, this new Tatooine LEGO display is one of the most epic Star Wars MOCs I’ve ever seen. It certainly gives the major Geonosis LEGO MOC from a couple of years ago a run for its money. For Star Wars and LEGO fans alike, it’s going to be exciting to see what @yodasvodkalegomocs plans on building next.
