Meeting in the remote sands of Jakku.
On these dates of fun and entertainment, the well-known architecture and design studio IGGA International, founded by Ignacio García in Marbella, Málaga, wanted to inspire children through creative play and recover the essence of construction in one of its funniest creations.
Combining two iconic universes
Using 600 small multicolored plastic pieces from the Danish toy company “Lego” that have conquered parents and children for decades and recovering the fascinating world of “Star Wars”, IGGA has immersed itself in the exciting fantasy world of the war of the galaxies to recreate a movie scene, specifically, one of the most legendary moments of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”: the meeting in the remote sands of Jakku between Rey and BB-8, protagonists of the latest trilogy.
Noting impossible is
Master Joda said: “Nothing impossible is. Difficult, many things are”… The challenge has been interesting and the result another galaxy is. It is liked by both adults and children. It is a set just 14 cm wide and 24 cm long that shows the young adventurer driving a fabulous speeder over the dunes of the Jakku desert and the friendly Resistance droid that she has just rescued from a scavenger.
Rey, sensitive to the Force, wears a hooded mask that hides his face. His vehicle transports remains of imperial and rebel ships that the young scrap metal dealer will exchange for food in the port of Niima. BB-8 is the little astromech droid from the BB series that will change Rey’s life completely. It has most of its body made up of a white metallic sphere with some orange tones that allows it to roll to move. The rest of the pieces in the set recreate the horizon of the inhospitable desert planet of Jakku, with an orography of sand dunes plagued by shadows, waves, scarce native flora, debris from the decisive Battle of Jakku that ended the Galactic Civil War favor of the New Republic and an evaporator used in humidity farms to capture water from the air, identical to those we saw on the planet Tatooine, home of Luke Skywalker in the first trilogy and birthplace of his father, Anakin Skywalker, in the second trilogy.
