Vesa Lehtimäki has loved "Star Wars" since he was 10 years old.
"I saw the first [movie] in its first theater run back in 1977. For my generation, that's like Woodstock," Lehtimäki tells Tech Insider. "I should get a T-shirt with [the] text 'Star Wars 1977 theater run: I was there.'"
Now, the Finnish photographer is out with a new photo book, "Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy," that depicts classic (and totally unreal) movie moments from the "Star Wars" universe — in LEGO form.
Lehtimäki, recently named on Tech Insider's list of the biggest "Star Wars" fans in the world, shared some of his breathtaking images with us. Follow him on Instagram or check out the book for more.
Vesa Lehtimäki has no idea how much money he's dropped on LEGO toys, and he prefers to keep it that way.
The Finnish photographer began shooting his kid's LEGO toys in 2009, reigniting his lifelong love of the "Star Wars" franchise.
Eventually he started buying duplicate sets of the ships and fighter aircrafts so he wouldn't have to rebuild them after playtime.
