You’re probably familiar with M.C. Escher’s space and gravity-defying work “Relativity,” featuring its set of impossibly interconnected staircases. It was good, but adding LEGOs and scenes from the original Star Wars trilogy is even better. Which is exactly what expert LEGO modeler Paul Vermeesch did in this mind-blowing model. And if you think this is amazing, just wait until you see what surprises are on the back of the model.
