I Made a LEGO Star Wars DEATH STAR in 2022! (21332 Alternate Build)

[@MandRproductions]

Thanks again to Stock X for making this video possible! What should I do as my next alternate build for LEGO Star Wars?

[@ArkOnYoutube]

You should make the Darth Maul Death Star from Empire Strikes Out

[@brianfromthirty]

Bro is Mr. Sponsor now😭

[@imanpepion777]

Hang it from the ceiling if you take fishing string they can hand from up over you shelf dude and that would look cool

[@imanpepion777]

Hang it from the ceiling it would look cool give me a shout out dude !! Fishing string over the shelf ! Perfect

[@plukovnikokurka2748]

some old lego star wars

[@Essentialguide]

Looks cool- it would benefit from some exterior detailing such as the equator trench

[@chasekerr9027]

I agree but with the scale he's working with It wouldn't look right

[@infinitybuilds715]

Yes! Would love to see a continued build with a stand in space theme maybe even connecting a tie and xwing along the trench

[@the_messageman]

I was thinking the same thing

[@ortology]

@@chasekerr9027 mabye just like flat plates that can for grooves and things

[@redfive02]

Yeah, could add some darker grey plates, and use slightly shorted plates around the middle, then put some plates behind with those clear/coloured 2x2 pieces for docking bays

[@Blue_Brick_Studios]

The custom model next to the old death star 2 is probably a pretty accurate size difference since the death star 2 was considerably bigger than the first death star

[@bentaylor6556]

I was just about to say this

[@the_messageman]

That's what I was thinking too

[@mr.wolfmaster2892]

Same tho

[@Falloutgamer347]

I was going to say that too

[@k-874]

Isn't the Death Star II like twice as big as the first?

[@Cheeseitsproductions]

With a black stand, a stormtrooper and a quote tile of "Thats no moon" it could fit very well with the diorama sets

[@mantistsai6457]

Or as a midi-scale set. They were actually not bad; I love my midi Star Destroyer

[@mrjef835]

Honestly it looks a little weird without the equatorial trench.

[@FrootNoobzSC]

Ah, but you see that's when the black sharpie marker comes in ; )

[@Argyle2008]

But you wouldn’t… I mean that’s illegal isn’t it??😰😰

[@WalnutAnimations]

@@Argyle2008 I will make it legal

[@ethanholmes5677]

I also think it needs some greebles.

[@Colin_]

@@WalnutAnimations DEW IT!!! 😉

[@Makocat]

I would add some dark gray for the equator. Also love how much smaller your Death Star looks in relation to the Death Star II lego put out back in the day. It's supposed to be bigger and I think this represents the size difference well.

[@Kden21]

The Death Star globe could definetly be upgraded by adding differently shaded grey tiles throughout the surface, it could help make it look more accurate and give more diversity around the texturing as well as even be able to include the trench in the quarter. Also I like how your rendition is smaller than the Death Star II set from 2005 as the two sets' sizes are comparable to the Death Stars' sizes in the movie canon. Overall awesome build!

[@jamesomega589]

You could use gears or balljoints in the stand to make it spin slower and add more tention, as well as installing a mechanism to spin it using a handle or something...

[@danstalmach1085]

Looks cool! I would find some dark grey tiled pieces to try to get a nice griebling effect along with black stand and mini star destroyer connected with a clear piece like DS2 set

[@jakebailey2304]

As soon as I built the globe I wanted to do this. Love the execution!

[@MandRproductions]

Do it! Thanks!

[@theinvestigateofabnormalit1699]

Dew it

[@BigIai]

@@theinvestigateofabnormalit1699 Dew it now.

[@UncleSheogorath]

Scattering some light/dark bluish grey 1x1/1x2/2x2 tiles, ingots and grill pieces around the Death Star might make it look more detailed. And maybe also add a circle of 2 studs wide black tiles at the middle. Hard tell if it'll actually look good since a lot of ideas I had looks good in my mind but doesn't work in reality...

[@OTHDogDad]

1. I love it! I wondered when someone would try it. As for the stand, I was thinking of just replacing the brown elements with black. 2. I think you just convinced me to go crack the seals and build my Death Star II UCS set.

[@ryanmonsuland282]

10:39 Hearing the laser just break at the end. 😂

[@hannyb.1364]

This is great, but you forgot one of the most iconic details! There’s no trench on the equator! I feel like that last detail will really make this moc that much better

[@lets_talk_movies]

I considered doing this, if it were me I’d add like some grill pieces and details to the outside of the just for some depth

[@MandRproductions]

Ooooh that’s a GREAT idea!

[@Wowee123-z3s]

Part 2 : *takes a hammer and smashes half of it and creates the Death Star 2*

[@MarcinOsadowskiNiePrawdziwy]

YES

[@ExpertAssass1n]

The laser cannon def broke off at the end 🤣 super cool build tho, looks so clean

[@randyramnarine]

Man turned into a ninjago spinner at the end 😂

[@thewinenut9800]

The wheels are counterweights for the difference in the plates on the pacific and opposite sides. Remove the wheels and I think it will be better balanced.

[@Slaymisi]

The original death star was smaller than the death star II so it makes sense that its smaller

[@MandRproductions]

Actually LOL yeah good point

[@SamOfTheSmokies76]

6:20 Fun fact, the center laser doesnt come directly from the dish, but from the many lasers that come out on the sides of the dish, which I understand is hard to recreate with LEGOs

[@verrpis]

with the amount of space inside the death star, you could probably make an interior if you are into that stuff. I know that if i got my hands on this set, i would

[@capncantread2985]

i see other people saying stuff about exterior detailing, and i agree I also think you should add little micro ships/star destroyers (whatever is to scale) to the outside, attach them with like transparent pieces like the official death star build you showed at the end

[@Jigsaw0g]

back in 2009, i had been begging my parents for MONTHS for the Lego Death Star set (with all the mini figs) and for my 9th bday, my dad surprised me after opening all my gifts, and i literally jumped out of my seat and started screaming "ITS THE LEGO DEATH STAR". I then worked on it for 4 days straight during my winter break as my bday is the day after Christmas. Never forgot all the things my dad did to surprise me. Miss you old man!

[@DeadEYEisLurking]

Actually the size between the original Death Star and the custom is accurate! As the Death Star 2 is the size of Pluto while the first Death Star is the size of the moon!

[@bricklayerwarren1647]

I like the vlog style build! It's much better than a boring speed build or a skip to the end.

[@mrbrick7781]

That speed build gave me such 2013 vibes. Great video and the build looks great

[@endless4491]

Make starkiller base since it’s a big planet with a laser in the middle

[@robertcaie8157]

I gotta be honest, this was the first thing I thought of doing when this set was announced! It is just so perfect

[@Trija204]

9:33 that’s actually accurate, the second death star was much bigger then the first one in the movies

[@mantistsai6457]

Do you reckon the middle equator plates could be replaced with two tiles towards the outer ends to create the trench? Like instead of a 6*6 plate, use two 2*6 plates towards the sides and leave some space in the middle. Or stick the two plates on a black base, if that doesn't make them stand out too much.

[@lbricks7631]

Did we need more proof that Mandrproductions is becoming a MOC channel? Keep up the good work, your Mods are inspirational.

[@MandRproductions]

Shhhhhhh

[@blazedazzles1219]

hey Ryan since you did built the death star model i can see one thing missing was the trench in the set so i noticed

[@DefNotWilliam]

Love these alternative builds! Please keep doing them

[@jacor653]

I think you should use some tiles and greeble pieces for the trench of the Death Star.

[@Mahan_]

What is LEGO doing not hiring Ryan? This Death Star is something I’d totally buy.

[@elbarto6421]

What does that build say about Ryans quality?

[@CanadaBricks]

They hate Ryan

[@goofycat676]

You can see the Death Star in his background lol

[@maphoozgaming8542]

Damn that does look good, Legos gonna be like “take this down” and then they release their own

[@scadoodlemusic3682]

You could do like black tile pieces for the equator which would be cool. Maybe some other small grey pieces and grey tiles for extra detailing

[@AbsolutelyJason]

What a great idea! Love the results!!!!

[@downest1]

You could make an equatorial trench if you put dark gray 1x6 flat pieces around the exact middle. To make it the exact middle, you could use the light gray 2x1 flat pieces with a single stud in the middle.

[@E-Motion32]

That’s pretty dope! U should make the halo ring with inspiration from the globes stand

[@SiOConnor]

Oh wow!! I have to do this! The FOMO is tooo strong lol 🤣🤣

[@zakstone9821]

Absolutely awesome. Nice work.

[@MandRproductions]

Thank you!

[@Jay-Zech]

Interesting! I wondered what this would look like. Looks awesome!

[@itzBrickKnight]

I admire your skills of watching a 10 minute video in 1 minute👍

[@Jay-Zech]

@@itzBrickKnight I didn’t originally say anything about how good/bad it looks. I just said that I wondered how it would look. But it’s literally in the thumbnail dude, so even if I did say that, it wouldn’t matter

[@itzBrickKnight]

@@Jay-Zech Dang bro calm down lol, didn’t mean to hurt your feelings 🙂

[@Rawiiisz]

9:37 death star 2 (left side) is bigger then death star 1 (right side) so its looking cool and almost perfect

[@chrislmaoo]

Seeing the lego community get sponsors for some reason makes me really happy for some reason. Feels like the community is being more accepted as a genuine hobby or passion.

[@unforgivenromantic]

If I might make a suggestion, maybe look at the Essential Guide series for the DS1 and add some vent plating for detail, as well as to blend the Superlaser a tad better. Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing and I'd even add that the startling size difference might work in your favor since the actual DS2 is canonically nearly double that of the DS2, but the plain sphere feels bare where the actual station has varying plate sizes and almost corn rows in some areas.

[@Huggy-wuggy59]

Hi

[@zabooka]

Thanks!

[@phynx4555]

amazing! i think this is your best video yet! you did a great job with the turbolaser by the way awessome build, i would kill to own that in my room

[@BenDrums-22]

1:18 you should make it using loads of lego moters and make it massive

[@RoxyAnimates]

congrats you have now made Death Star 1 and 2 accurately in both design and size (obviously not in minifigure scale size, but it’s accurate to how big they are compared to eachother)

[@Moonknight-1346]

Do question-answer videos 👍

[@BrickBatDad]

Dude! Your a MOC builder now!!!.. you took a big step down the slippery slope!!!

[@victorkevorkian8629]

my favorite video of yours by far! really cool idea

[@veryblocky]

You should’ve built the laser opposite the wheels inside the sphere. They’re in there to be a counterweight.

[@Lumadous]

put lego pieces on the interior to add weight at a specific part as a counter balance, to prevent it from rotating when posistioned

[@HouseClarkzonian]

Near perfect size for the DS-1 To DS-2, In Canon the 2nd Death Star was much larger than the first.

[@CanadaBricks]

I saw this in the background of yesterday’s video and wondered when this video would be out!

[@philmorton4590]

Yeah you need to completely redesign the stand. Also the sphere is too bland, maybe some tiles could add definition and features. Also the second death star of star killer base might be a better build than this one? I wonder if you can double the size? Great video, really enjoyed it!

[@nbknova3499]

If you beefed up the base of a helmet series set and slid the bottom rod of the Death Star into the base, you could have a nice minimalistic stand that would be a fine addition to your collection.

[@jasonsbricks3785]

Great gob man I love when people make these kinds of videos.

[@stephenstark7974]

This is big brain! Now I wanna make one of Pluto or Mars. Or somethin, Naboo? Pretty awesome build!

[@maximoa1080]

This is the first thing I thought about when I saw the globe

[@technogamer18]

A lot of people who built the globe: “ugh. Kinda glad that’s over. Kinda repetitive” Ryan: “hold my blue milk..”

[@mediochrist]

These more creative videos are the creme de la creme

[@jh6031]

That was fun. Haven’t seen you do something like this before. Keep up the good work, Ryan.

[@jarhn6685]

Would be cool if LEGO made a similar build for the many different planets in the star wars universe. And on the Alderaan, if you push the pin on top, it explodes

[@stuartnelmes348]

Wow it’s amazing how on earth are you so talented. Great job keep it up

[@L10nelM3ssi]

mad respect for shouting out the guy who designed the lazar

[@thestud-muffin9871]

2:06 I liked your joke Ryan.

[@John-wj6kg]

If you put the laser cannon thingy opposite where the tyres are mounted inside, it should balance better. You may have to remove one or more tyres for optimal balance.

[@miguelsaraiva9492]

The best death star's lego MOC ever.❤

[@SamOfTheSmokies76]

yes fs

[@jeremyobriant7266]

Dr. Evil would be proud. Taking the world and adding a giant "laser".

[@AJVfilms]

Now I actually want a Globe set just to make this. it Looks really cool, and I bet with more greebling and added detail it would look even better. :D

[@EvoGoji29]

The tires in the world joke! Ha!

[@herowither12354]

Now do the reverse. Turn the 2005 Death Star into the Sun to go with your globe.

[@chelbel0624]

YESSSSS! IVE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS!

[@patrickbrown9018]

I knew someone would make it happen, pretty cool tbh

[@williamsmith4414]

It's cool, I want to build something special from the Globe, but need to focus on other things first.

[@sometf2player752]

10:02 yours being smaller actually works because the Death Star 1 was smaller than the Death Star 2

[@McKnightster]

OMG, You should totally make every planet like Naboo Hoth Coruscant Tatooine etc

[@scottreviewsbricks]

I’m happy you did this. I had the same idea but out of laziness I waited till someone else did it. Thank you lol.

[@JangoSkett]

Yooo.. Ryan I gotta say - it’s pretty dope u got stock x as a sponsor!!! Glad to see u keep going up man!

[@Darththadiator]

Broooooo, BRICKTASTIC JOB! Love to see you branching out and getting creative!

[@MandRproductions]

Thanks Thaddeus!

[@THRAwakened]

at least you made death star I which is smaller than death star II so its size accurate, great job!!

[@williorio8733]

You should add some tiles or some darker grey pieces along the equator to really make it a death star

[@dogbreathyking7117]

Like it!! Definitely need black stand. Even the current globe stand in black.

[@AmelityshTV]

The Empire's greatest weapon was Thrawn's mind.

[@dathomirpizzagirl9686]

Thats honestly such a good idea

[@marvel_dc_basedyt69420]

Yo mandr I really want to make this but it's hard to keep track with all the pieces and build techniques you used. Is it possible to make a parts list or a digital instruction for purchase somewhere so I and others can properly build this?

[@Fisherisunfunny]

Great job man keep up the good work! 👍

[@AlexFunkyFresh]

I think it would be awesome if it could be modified to be a smaller scale 2005 Death Star II. If some of the panels were removed and a smaller version of the exposed destroyed/under construction sections were inserted into the glob death star, and if an equator trench was added it would be a must buy set!

[@entity1566]

REGARDING STOCKX: Guys, please do not buy any kind of streetwear or Sneakers on that site. I have and let me tell you their customer service is non existend. Many items I have bought from there have turned out to be fake, such as Yeezys, Jordans and more. They will downright ghost you if you email them a complaint. So do yourselves a favor and stick to Lego ;)

[@brayden1917]

9:31 this looks like an accurate size because the 2005 one is the death star 2 and the ds2 is bigger than the ds1

[@FullStewart]

I think that you should replace the middle 6x6 plates with two 2x6 plates and use 2 2x6 plates with slide to create the trench, because it looks kind of strange without it

[@princekalmaar3945]

Hey thank you for making my idea

[@tommym2715]

These videos with creative MOCs are great!

[@Capt_Chaos_91]

I’m literally designing this in the Studio program to see if this is possible. Thanks for answering my question!!
