Created by photographer and lego superfan Benedek Lampert, the set follows Santa’s journey through the Hoth and shows Darth Vader furiously checking Santa’s good list - spoiler, he definitely wasn’t on it.
Licking his wounds, Darth Vader and a pair of his loyal stormtroopers later choose to roll some giant snowballs instead - perhaps looking to teach Santa Claus a lesson.
Benedek said: “Each series was made in my house or immediate environment, I started the Christmas series at the end of November, so I created a really close deadline for myself to finish the series.
“I started Lego photography - or I should say ‘legography' - in June 2016. I had attempted some earlier, but back then I didn’t have enough technical knowledge or suitable equipment.
“I love Lego and I’m a big fan of Star Wars, so this combination isn’t surprising. But I also got some inspiration from Vesa Lehtimaki, who is a Finnish Lego photographer.”
Every series the Hungarian photographer creates can take up to a month to complete, but one photo usually takes about three hours to finish.
Benedek added: “When I create the photos I first imagine it in my mind, after that I try to carry out it out in front of the camera.
“Sometimes I’ll spend many hours with a scene, but even so I won’t get an acceptable picture.
“I haven’t got an explicit plan for future projects, but I’m thinking about a collection inspired by short stories.”
