I’m convinced that Star Wars MOC builders are actually just insane. The amount of planning, time, and money that went into this must have been immense. Absolutely incredible results.

It’s also interesting to see that the Venn diagram of prequel fans and Lego Star Wars fans is basically a circle. But of course it would be, Lego Star Wars first came out when the Prequels did. George Lucas was many things, but business stupid was NOT one of them.

What’s crazy is I never really realized the sheer scale of the senate. This really put it into perspective, that structure is absolutely massive, and probably one of the great architectural structures in the Star Wars universe.

Amazing project! This MOC will definitely be remembered for years to come. Such a large undertaking, and I love how you were able to include the public in the building of the pods. Great way to get people involved and avoid some repetitive building tasks, too!

[@sonicANDtailsfan157k]

Really gives you a sense of scale, if this is the senate chamber then imagine how big and how many pieces it would take to build the entire senate building scaled to minifigure size.

[@anidiot2284]

A lot considering a mini fog scale ISD is a warehouse, a super Star destroyer is a football field (US), the death star is a small asteroid. So the Jedi temple will be the side of a Cosco and the Sentient building will be around that size as well.

[@S0L12D3]

If you actually scaled it to size I would assume it would probably be a bit larger than they made it!

[@lexibyday9504]

Each row of pods had it's own halway on it's own floor of the building which also had apartments for all the senators. Think about how big this building was then. Think about it. Think about the hundreds of security points and the docks for shuttles to take the senators elsewhere in the city.

[@dalonelypalmtree2338]

[@Noctaru]

they must be happy to have droids for all that floor cleaning that must be done !

[@wouterengel1345]

That's exactly why I like to read certain kinds of science fiction novels. That sense of scale, of enormous distances and objects. As in the ending of Alastair Reynolds' House of Suns or Pushing Ice. Makes me feel so insignificant yet hopeful of the possibility that one day the human race might actually go out into that void and build something momentous. Although it would look nothing like the Star Wars Universe ;-)

In the movies, the pods actually float around the room.

false... some aliens like to be looking up... some aliens like looking down...

No… in TCW and the Prequels we can clearly see two things: every pod has a miniature Hologramm projecting the speaker and there is a giant Hologramm of the speaker projected in the middle(most of the time)

[@slypask9185]

@@kabhes9040 Like in the first episode, communications can be cut-off in case of an invasion. With a senator physicaly present, you still have someone able to represent your planet among the republic. Also, a physical presence to a meeting or an assembly might seem a little more "respectful" than a simple call, like it is IRL with political leaders, even if they could just have a visio-conference...

Dude I wish Lego would put this much effort in designing their own sets!! Great job!

[@MCLegoboy]

Okay, this is pretty cool. Also just going to appreciate that it's not simple, each one of those layers for the pods needs a custom wall. While the pods are replicated, the main structure and floor panels are replicated, the walls all have to be custom fit into place, even if it really is just extending the edges one stud or so, but that's one of those things that a lot of people may not appreciate, and you didn't mention it in the video.
