We have seen [Star Wars Lego](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fandomhonoring-building-block-sets) featured here on Trend Hunter, but this collection is much, much different. Star Wars was always a "had to see to believe" type of movie. In honour of that sentiment, these Lego Star Wars figurines are making a valiant attempt to keep the fire alive by mimicking movement.

The [stop-motion Lego Jedi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-diorama) have extra Lego attachments that appropriately (and quite skillfully) imply that they’re moving. They show [epic Jedi battles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ucs-death-star) and tragic deaths of good guys (well, C-3PO…just because he’s an android doesn’t mean it’s not upsetting).

The set is really awesome and the images are even better!
