In the Star Wars stories, the most malevolent element of the plot is the Death Star, the planet-destroying artificial moon that Emperor Palpatine was constructing in orbit colse to the moon of the planet Endor. It was the extreme doomsday weapon. Destroying it was the only opportunity Luke and his friends had to save the Alliance from certain destruction - if they were faced with an enemy that could destroy whole planets, they would have no opportunity at all.
Making maximum use of the flexibility of their basic product, and the very active imaginations of their found staff, Lego has created their own version of this mighty weapon, the Lego Death Star, which brings the Star Wars Saga into the reach of kids (of all ages) everywhere. This astonishing set, with over 3,800 pieces - many of them specially designed for this set - creates the Death Star in great detail, presenting lots of opportunities to stage separate action sequences from the Star Wars films.

The completed model is 16 inches tall, and 16-1/2 inches in diameter. This set, Lego 10188, consists of three decks, each of which has a whole of separate sections with a range of functional purposes. One of the most recognizable is the Trash Compactor, where Luke, Leia, and Han nearly met their untimely ends. The compactor in the Lego Death Star has walls that can be rotated to close the chamber, crushing the trash - and any unfortunate individuals who happen to be in there at the time! someone else verily great aspect of this part of the model is the fact that the set includes the Dianoga monster that inhabits the compactor - and roughly killed Luke.
Another great highlight of this set is the Super Laser weapon. This doomsday planet-destroying weapon is featured with green laser beams that tour out from the edges of the dish and converge in the center to amplify the central beam. The weapon can rotate, and turn the angle at which it is aimed. These are just a few of the many entertaining parts in this intricate model. Among the other weapons in this model are lasers and cannons that are found in the compartment near the Trash Compactor. These weapons can also be moved for aiming at separate targets.
Other verily spectacular details in this Lego Death Star building model are found in areas like the Tie Fighter bay, where Darth Vader's Tie Fighter (which is included!) can land. Many of the stations in the Death Star have varied types of weapons consoles that can be manned by the Storm Troopers and other Imperial mini-figures that are included with the set. Overall, there are 24 separate character mini-figures included in this Death Star model.
The top deck of the Lego Death Star has sleeping quarters for the Imperial Storm Troopers, which are furnished with typical residential furniture. Also on that deck is a chamber with two double laser cannons, and someone else room which can be a discussion room, with seven rotating chairs and a large table. This is typical of the level of information that this set contains, which makes it a mighty platform for staging varied Star Wars scenarios.
This set, Lego 10188, is verily the second version of the Death Star that Lego has produced. The first version, Lego 10143, was released in 2005. In inequity to the new set, which is rich in information and has lots of prop pieces that can be used to recreate varied scenes, this first version seems to have been intended to be mostly a static display model - although a highly detailed one! The set, when completed, stands 25 inches high, and is 19 inches wide. It recreates the Imperial Death Star in its partially constructed state. There is even a scale-model Imperial Star Destroyer in orbit colse to the Death Star.
This Lego Death Star set is certain to be a hot item this year, particularly colse to Christmas time! If you want one for man on your gift list - or if you want it for yourself - it would be wise to act quickly, before you find out that it is temporarily (or permanently!) no longer available.
