Star Wars fans, I have a complaint. I am still pretty devastated about the imminent closure of the immersive LARP Star Wars hotel, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser .

I'm talking, of course, about my father's Lego Yoda , fresh in the box. Now I'm not talking about one of those tiny Lego people with Yoda printed on it. Oh no, it is far more glorious than that. My dad won a sizable recreation of Yoda constructed solely with Legos in the late 90s. You might wonder how he won such a prize at a Target in Il…
