Star Wars goes to Legoland Discovery

It was Star Wars Weekend at Legoland Discovery last week. The 501st Legion was going to make an appearance, so the kids were eager to check it out. Being the Star Wars nerd family that we are, we got there extra early. We were first in line.

We did our normal tour of Legoland, hitting the Kingdom Quest Laser Ride first. The kids love this ride so much, so we went on it back to back. After that, we did the short Star Wars land tour.

I love  peaking around to look at the details. The scene below is easy to miss, unless you peer into a tiny window.

Star Wars Episode II, battle of  Geonosis

We moved over to the miniland area, and were pleasantly surprised to find it transformed into a Star Wars theme. Well, they left the original miniland in place, but dropped in some pretty cool Star Wars scenes. Except Wizard of Oz. That is sacred, and left untouched.

At-At in the house!

Around the Kansas City Speedway, they set up Endor, complete with speeder race. The kids got to race against each other.

Lord Vader fly over.

Yeah, Star Wars characters are Chiefs fans!

I love this scene. Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's house. RIP.

After that, we spotted some of the 501st. They were so great with the fans.

Until next time, 501st!
