Make-A-Wish Builds A Millennium Falcon Fort For Boy

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-fast-enough-for-you-old-man dept.

Thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and a production crew from Little Mountain Productions, a 9-year-old is getting the best fort ever. The crew is making him a Star Wars-themed fort with a gigantic Millennium Falcon with solar-powered LED interior and exterior lighting to sit on top. No word on how fast it can make the Kessel run, but lets hope the kid gets a long trip.

    I think you meant how short it can make the Kessel run.

      Star Wars is about as far from real science fiction as the Lord of the Rings. Explaining it all away in technical terms is like trying to put a realistic spin on Sleeping Beauty.

      hey, the Han Solo trilogy clearly explains why and how the Kessel run records are measured in parsecs.

      just because a parallel space is not bound by the laws of the speed of light does not mean that planets don't exist in the parallel locations. The way i always understood it was that hyperspace in star wars was sort of like crawling under the rug, the floor is different down there, but if you run into the couch, it still hurts. (objects of mass effect both locations)

    The Falcon will sit atop a 20-ft high Jar-Jar Binks, so wishing the kid a long trip might actually be cruel.

    ... to hope the kid hurries up and dies so we can bid for it on ebay? Am I right!?

    As amply demonstrated by the bonehead comment above that sig.
