VIDEO: Incredible giant Star Wars maze of maize celebrates film's 40th anniversary

FARMER Tom Pearcy has created what is believed to be the world’s biggest Star Wars fan art, a giant maze cut from his 18-acre field of maize plants to mark the 40th anniversary of the film franchise.

The maze, which features images of Darth Vader, Han Solo and other characters from the sci-fi series, has been carved into 15 acres at York Maze.

Pearcy told ITV: “As a child I was captivated by the Star Wars story George Lucas created, and wanted to do something out of this world to mark the 40th anniversary.

“There are so many iconic characters featured in the movies, but there just isn’t space in my maize field to feature them all.

“One of the hardest decisions in designing the maze, was who to leave out.”
