Destroying A Planet Is Insignificant Next To The Power Of This Lego Star Wars Street Organ

This enormous cylinder made of Lego may look like a Katamari wad that rolled through Hoth, Naboo and the Death Star, but it’s actually a drum driving a synthesiser, player-piano style, that plays the main Star Wars theme.
