Many of us passively enjoy our Star Wars, some dive deeper into the galaxy and others like Leon Girling use their skills to create masterpieces like this, a LEGO inspired Christmas display on show outside his home with wife Sarah in Sandown on the Isle of Wight and created to raise much-needed funds for Cancer Research.
Sandown residents Sarah and Leon Girling are 1970s kids, so when Leon was planning this year’s Christmas display for their front garden he took inspiration from his favourite Christmas present as a child.
It was a Star Wars X-Wing and Leon says he remembers sitting down with his family to watch Star Wars A New Hope every Boxing Day in the 1980s.
So this year Leon has been beavering away building an incredible Christmas display, with donations going to Cancer Research.
You can see the display in person at 38 Victoria Road, Sandown PO36 8AL. and if you’re able to please consider donating to Sarah and Leon’s chosen charity (Cancer Research) by visiting Sarah’s page to make a donation.
If you are anywhere near Sandown, X-wing your way to Victoria Road and drop some dataries in the charity bucket.
Exploring the galaxy since 1978, Mark wrote his first fan fiction in 1981 and been a presence online since his first webpage Fanta War in 1996. He's contributed to Star Wars Insider (since '06) and Starburst Magazine (since '16) as well as ILM.com, SkywalkerSound.com, StarWars.com, Star Wars Encyclopedia, Build The Millennium Falcon, Geeky Monkey, TV Film Memorabilia, Model and Collectors Mart, Star Trek magazine and StarTrek.com.
