Force is with this dude who is building a life-sized Millennium Falcon

12/5/2012

This guy is a way bigger "Star Wars" fan than you. The evidence? Oh, just that full-sized Millennium Falcon he's building. Nashville resident Chris Lee is crowd-sourcing the design and construction online for the Full Scale Millennium Falcon Project, a real-life version of Han Solo's legendary spacecraft. Once complete, the replica will sit on an 88-acre plot of land Lee has purchased in Tennessee and boast everything the famous ship did, save for a working engine (it won't be making the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs anytime soon). He plans to use it to host welding and crafts workshops. At the moment, the über-fan's got a gaggle of college students helping him — and, of course, The Force.
