I have posted some pretty incredible sand sculptures in the past like the amazing 8-bit NES sand sculpture and Minas Tirith sand sculpture and while those are both incredible, this new Star Wars sand sculpture blows them both right off of the beach.  Without a doubt, these are the droids you are looking for!

54-Year-old sculptor Katsuhiko Chaen sculpted this incredible Star Wars sand sculpture to celebrate the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie.  The sculpture stands 3.4 meters tall, 7.4 meters long and 4.2 meters wide and uses 160 tons of sand!  Wow, thats a lot of sand!

The best part is if you happen to be in Japan, you can check this Star Wars: The Force Awakens sand sculpture out in the coastal town of Tottori between now and December!  Or if you have a lot of frequent flier miles built up, going to see this Star Wars sand sculpture might just be something worth using them on!

I love seeing giant sand sculptures and if I was in that part of the world, I would definitely swing by and check it out.  It never ceases to amaze me what somebody can do with beach sand.  However, I always wonder, how much sand does the artist get in their shoes when they make something like this?
