I also got a mention in the main Kotaku 'Minecraft Review'!

ABOUT THE VIDEO:
It's been 4 months in the making....
Everything in the video has been built by hand!
I have tried to re-create the Death Star trench section as close to the original model, as featured in the film. This you will be able to see in the 'Making of..... video'.

No special effects or mods have been used..... its all vanilla Minecraft!
I did use an editor to put together the final set peice and I did use a Death Star Schematic for the long shots of the Death Star. (*See Below)

No wookies we're harmed in the making of this video, but many creepers died.

TRIVIA: Watch it a 2nd time..... and see if you can spot the hidden 'Nether Portal'?

*Special thanks to Tyken132 for having the Death Star Schematic available to download from his site:
