"Two years ago, Finnish illustrator and designer Vesa Lehtimäki put out a 38-page hardcover book of photos of Lego-built scenes showing imagined scenarios on the snow planet Hoth. It was a delightful collection of pictures full of levity, depicting AT-AT Walkers kicking through fresh powder, snowtroopers on skis, and Chewbacca covered in snow. Today, Lehtimäki is back with an expanded collection of Lego Star Wars photography, titled Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy."

Also see his Flickr page, featuring more Star Wars and non-Star Wars, Lego and non-Lego images.

Cool photos, but I see from their headline that Wired has apparently gone over to the Dark Side.

The thinking behind the text on some of these is wonderful.

"Chewie takes a deep breath of fresh air after an unfortunate round of solitaire." took me a few seconds, but it's beautiful.

That is the ice planet Hoth, if you please.

GhostintheMachine, it took me a couple seconds to get that one too. But it was very funny once it clicked.
