Destroying such a Lego masterpiece like this should be illegal.

The monsters at Wired assembled a Star Destroyer made of 3,000 Lego bricks, only to then drop it and film the destruction in slow-motion. The stunt was done in honor of May 4 -- which is Star Wars day, for anyone who doesn't have access to a Twitter account -- and was shot at 1,000 FPS. The video does have background music already, but to stir up proper emotions while watching, feel free to turn on Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" instead while viewing.
