LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy

Among the myriad of LEGO-themed books, more or less interesting, that are flooding the shelves of bookstores right now, there is one that I look forward to. This is the above work, a promising collection of artistic creations by Vesa Lehtimäki, better known under the pseudonym ofAvanaut.

Anyone who has ever made a detour via his flickr gallery know the qualities of this talented Finnish photographer and LEGO was not mistaken by regularly calling on his services to highlight the LEGO The Hobbit range through skilfully crafted visuals (see these articles).

This 176-page book entitled "LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy"is expected in early November, but it is already in preorder at amazon.

Created by Finnish photographer Vesa Lehtimäki using his son's favorite toys, the book features painstaking recreations of classic movie moments and hilarious new takes on fan-favorite characters and themes. Informative captions give technical details for each scene, while anecdotes from Lehtimäki offer background insights to his creative process.
