You can always count on San Francisco for creative events around this time of year. Union Square is the place to be if you want to see what happens when three of our favorite things: LEGO, Star Wars, and Christmas. The (planned) result: a 12-foot tall by 10-foot wide “Santa Yoda.” Yes, you heard it here first.

Building begins this Friday (November 18) at Union Square in San Francisco and runs for three days as part of a “community build”.

Consider this a choice opportunity to enjoy rarified air. There are only 12 certified LEGO Master Builders in the country that design/create special displays for LEGO stores, parks and events around the world.
