Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you! In case you’re wondering, today is Star Wars Day, a quasi-official holiday that celebrates all things Star Wars.

For LEGO Star Wars fans, you can look forward to a plethora of sales and offers on LEGO.com as well as the general release of the UCS Snowspeeder around the world.

I had a bit of a surprise today that was surprisingly fitting for Star Wars day, the prize that I won from a LEGO Twitter giveaway, the exclusive Detention Block Rescue set that was raffled at this year’s Star Wars Celebration event arrived in the post!

Before you ask, yes, I will be opening, building and reviewing this set! I don’t really believe in hoarding sealed promotional sealed sets 🙂

To celebrate Star Wars Day Down Under, LEGO Australia held a special event in Sydney where fans helped LEGO Master Model Builder, Chris Steininger build and blow up a massive LEGO Death Star.

From the videos above, the event looked like a heap of fun and it’s really great to see such a huge turnout at Warringah Mall.

Looked pretty fun and I wish I was there! Were you there at the event? Let me know what you thought of it in the comments or if you managed to snag anything special there!

So yeah, Happy Star Wars Day! Did you build anything Star Wars related today?
