Many Redditors seem to be enjoying Alexander-00AK’s depiction of Alderaan’s doom inMinecraft. Some jested by quoting the movie, repeating lines such as “That thing’s operational,” and “Look at him. He’s heading for that small moon.” Alexander-00Ak was even asked how long it took them to make the piece, to which they responded a few hours.
The scene that Alexander-00AK was a very important one inA New Hope. It helped to establish the villainy of the Empire and demonstrated just what theDeath Starwas capable of. It also helped set up the end of the movie as the film’s heroes fight to take the space station down, as they now know what it is capable of. Alexander-00AK was able to the high point of the scene, a moment that fans of theStar Warsseries will always remember, and depict it quite well. It also helped show what is possible inMinecraft. The project shows that most things are doable in the sandbox title, and where a bit of hard work, patience, and determination can get players in the game.
