This Gigantic Snow Mural Might Be The Biggest ‘Star Wars’ Tribute Ever

Fan devotion to Star Wars is nothing new, and it’s driven everything from elaborate role-playing games to the more terrifying sections of DeviantArt. But rarely is a tribute to Star Wars this big or this elaborate.

As part of the Sapporo Snow Festival, sculptors… well, see for yourself:

The mammoth statue took nearly a month to build, and weighs about 3500 tons; the most snow ever used for a sculpture at the festival. Considering the current piles of snow in some areas of the country, perhaps we should import the sculptors over here for a tour. Hey, if it has to sit on our sidewalks, at least it can be pretty.
