Star Wars Fans Plan Full-Size Millennium Falcon Replica
An anonymous reader writes "The BBC reports on a fan-run project to build a full-scale replica of Han Solo's Millennium Falcon. The ship, 31 feet tall, 114 feet long, and 81.5 feet wide at its widest point, will be built on a plot of land in Tennessee. Since this project is obviously too big for any one fan, or even a small group, they're going to crowdsource some of the construction. Their website has continual updates about various parts of the build, with many, many pictures. For example, here are a couple shots of the Quad guns and cockpit console. Project leader Chris Lee says he bought the land in Tennessee, 88 acres, for this purpose. He says he'd like to 'develop it into more of a creative retreat, like a Maker camp ... where a school could send kids.' The Force is strong with this one!"

Those padawans better learn quick how to build their own light sabers when the hillbilly fundamentalists mass at the gates with pitchforks in hand.

Let me know when they build a full-scale replica of the TARDIS.
The little astro-droid did no such thing. He rode around in spaceships and a party barge but nothing else. I can assure you sir, for I have seen all three movies many times, that R2D2 never flew.
