Star Wars fans, you'll want to pack your lightsabers and head to Legoland in Carlsbad, California. The theme park will open a new Star Wars Miniland area on its grounds on March 31.

You will be able to see seven famous scenes from the Star Wars saga and one from the animated TV show Star Wars: The Clone Wars made entirely of the colorful plastic building blocks. Plus, you can come dressed in your Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia costume and pose for pics with life-size Lego replicas of Chewbacca, Darth Vader and R2-D2.

Each display will be about 200 square feet and up to 6 feet tall. From Episode 1, there will be a scene from the Battle of Naboo with a rumble with Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul. In another, from Episode 3, you can see Kashyyyk—the home of Chewbacca and the Wookiees—and the planet Mustafar, where the fateful duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker took place. Of course, one display will feature Han Solo's famous Millennium Falcon from Episode IV.

Legoland, one of the rare theme parks to do well in 2010, has offered popular Star Wars Days in the past, but this is the first time a portion of the park will be dedicated to the beloved flick. The Legolands in Billund and Deutschland will follow suit and open Star Wars Minilands later this year.
