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

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.

    And it was corrected in the lamest way possible.

    It would have made more sense if the ships drive bent space. This would have the side benefit of explaining how they can get around so fast.

    It also make more sense because Lucas was clearing trying to have Han boast about the ship engine. This ties in to Lucas love for hotrods at the time.

    If the Kessel run was 20 parsecs, but the ship bent space around itself so the ship only need to travel 12 parsecs, this would be the space craft equivalent to shaving seconds off a drag race.

    In fact, I assumed that's what he meant when I say SW the first time.
