Kids are gearing up for the release of the new Star Wars!

Charles Dortch IV of Santa Rosa is ready for the new Star Wars (The Last Jedi) and has a date with his family on Saturday Dec. 16th

The latest installment of Star Wars comes out on Friday December 15th, but that isn't stopping Charles Dortch IV of Santa Rosa in getting started early. Charles is 5 years old and an avid Star Wars fan. He and his family are putting together one of the largest Lego sets ever created (The Lego of the DeathStar) and have decided to go see the movie as a family on Saturday the 16th.

This Lego set took Charles and his family approximately 30 hours to build and it has 4016 pieces to it.

The excitement is building for little Charles as we are a little over a week a way from the premiere of the latest installment (The Last Jedi).
