I received this message today.

It should be of interest to those in Melbourne.

This May the Fourth, Jedi and LEGO fans alike are invited to come together and celebrate the world of LEGO Star Wars with a building event like no other.

Harnessing the power of the Force along with a little help from Ryan McNaught; one of only 13 Certified LEGO Professionals in the world, fans young and old are invited to gather and assist Ryan in building a giant LEGO model of the Jedi Master himself, Yoda.

Over the course of two days, this 3m high Yoda will be built from the ground up, using over 100,000 LEGO bricks.

In addition, there will be exciting sets from the extensive LEGO Star Wars range on display, and if that’s not enough, there will be Star Wars trivia and LEGO speed building challenges being held throughout both days with plenty of prizes up for grabs.

So come dressed as your favourite Star Wars character for the chance to win a galactic prize, or just bring the power of the Force with you, and join in on all the fun of LEGO Star Wars… and May the Fourth be with you!
