A Japanese Winter Festival’s Awesome Tribute To Star Wars

The force is strong with this festival

 

For those of you who don’t know The Sapporo Snow Festival is a massively popular winter festival in Japan, which has caught the eye of not just the Japanese public but also people from all over the world. Snow and ice sculptures are the main headliners of this festival, with each’s structures getting bigger, better and more creative.

This year, the festival really upped the amp by adding a very Mount Rushmore-y snow sculpture and Storm troopers, in addition to popular anime characters and even some sculptures of Taj Mahal.

The Star Wars structure is 50 feet tall and seven feet wide, which probably makes it the biggest Star Wars tribute structure today. Below are some fantastic pictures and a video of the monument!
