The LEGO Star Wars Friends Project

By ⋅ May 25, 2016 ⋅ One comment

After completing the LEGO Super Friends Project, I continued the project with Part 2, an exploration into other pop culture figures done in the LEGO Friends style. As I did movie, tv, and video game characters, I kept looking at my favorite movies and thinking I couldn’t just do Luke, Han, or Leia. I would need to do an exploration of the different characters from the classic trilogy. And so, as soon as Part 2 was completed, I began The LEGO Star Wars Friends Project.

Last week, DC Comics announced their plans for a girls’ line of comic books, toys, games, etc., and LEGO was included in that list. Many people instantly thought they would do a Friends type line to support it, and people instantly thought of my work on The LEGO Super Friends Project – including FBTB. This made me realize I never put the second half of the project on this site.

When the LEGO Friends line was introduced, it was met with mixed reviews. Many little girls loved it and LEGO builders liked the colors that were introduced with the line, but it was often derided for its more doll-like minifigures and its conformation to female stereotypes. It was such discussions, and the desire to utilize the same figures in order to the break the stereotypes that they had been assigned, that led me to start the LEGO Super Friends Project.
