Dan and Chris Steininger, father and son Lego master builders from the U.S., aided by a team of fans, took two days to construct the iconic _Star Wars_ spacecraft in time for May 4\. The feat took place at the Westfield Southland mall in Melbourne, Australia, reports Australian newspaper the _Age_. The finished model is a whopping 5 m wide and was built from around 250,000 Lego bricks. The duo also built two imperial TIE fighters, each standing 2 m high and made of 80,000 bricks. In the _Star Wars_ universe, the Millennium Falcon is commanded by Han Solo (played by Harrison Ford in the first three films) with Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) as his first mate. \[[The _Age_](http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/star-wars-day-melbourne-fans-help-lego-masters-build-giant-millennium-falcon-20150503-1myxxr.html)\] ### These Are The Lego Star Wars Posters You've Been Waiting For  Lego  Lego  Lego  Lego  Lego  Lego ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3845001/star-wars-day-may-the-fourth-be-with-you-lego-millennium-falcon-time-lapse-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3845001/star-wars-day-may-the-fourth-be-with-you-lego-millennium-falcon-time-lapse-video/"},"headline":"Happy Star Wars Day!
