Han Solo in a tuxedo for ROTJ is fall-down funny!

  Mr. Fujita spent "155 weeks of work from the summer of 1992."

Incredibly mindblowingly excellent.  Check it out.

Yes, this site is just awesome.  The way Mr. Fujita used pre-SW Lego to build
vehicles & scenes from SW is simply amazing!

Some specific points:
-His choice of minifigs to represent various characters is great.
-He made his own R2-D2.
-Yoda looks awfully cute.
-He used glow-in-the-dark ghosts to represent those Ice-Stormtroopers! (I know
that's not what they're called, help!)
-Clever use of the 1x2 hinge bricks to create angled structures.  (He must
have millions of those pieces)
-I assume he used various Fabuland characters to represent different aliens in
the bar in RTJ?
-On one of the RTJ pages, the bottom most picture is of Yoda with a
brown "blanket" covering him.  The blanket turns out to be a brown castle
corner/tree trunk piece!
-In the RTJ pages, Luke has one yellow and one black hand!
-For those that want to see a new use of pirate ship hulls, look at the RTJ
pages with the Ewoks and the shield generator base thingy!
-The very last RTJ page, last picture shows Obi-Wan, Anakin and Yoda's
spirits.  They've been "hazed" to appear as spirits!

I dunno, lots of other really cool stuff on these pages.  I highly recommend
everybody to go see it, whether you're a SW nut, or not.
