Star Wars Snow Sculpture at Sapporo Snow Festival

Star Wars Snow Sculpture at Sapporo Snow Festival
May the force be with you! The 66th annual Sapporo Snow Festival kicked off today and the most impressive snow sculpture of all features Darth Vader, his three stormtroopers and TIE fighters. This Star Wars snow sculpture was created by Japan's army troopers, or the 11th Brigade of the Ground Self-Defense Forces, using a set of bulldozers.
For almost a month, the army moved 3,500 tons of snow to create this enormous, 23 meter wide, 15 meter tall piece of art. The design was approved by Lucas Film Ltd, who, no doubt, saw this as a great way to promote their upcoming film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which opens in theaters December 18, 2015.
