Death Star cell block - Roblox

The rescue of Princess Leia in A New Hope has (in my opinion) got to be an iconic Star Wars scene (especially for its “short for a stormtrooper” joke). I attempted to recreate the Death Star cell block which Leia was kept in as well as the trash compactor so that players could recreate their favourite scenes or create their own mishap loaded escape. Everything has been built within Roblox Studio and I would like to thank my friend Sky_CW on Discord for the stormtrooper morphs I used as a player scale which also feature as playable morphs within the larger game the Death Star map is within, hence it only made sense to use such as the scale. There are a total of 28 cells within this model, all of which can be accessed via the corridor and have buttons to open their doors from both the inside and outside (so that players don’t get accidentally locked in by others). In addition, there is a vent within the corridor that you can open and walk through its shaft to fall into the trash compactor.
