Two years ago, Star Wars contributor James Floyd invited me to my first Star Wars event at the LEGOLAND California Resort and it quickly became one of my favorites places in Southern California to get my Star Wars fix.

This past weekend, LEGOLAND kicked off the first of two LEGO Star Wars Days #BuildTheForce weekends for 2018.

With an outpouring of support from the 501^st, Rebel Legion, R2 Builders, Saber Guild and Mandalorian Mercs this event has become a highlight for Star Wars fans and Lego builders.
