Description
Starting my own 'How fast is your spaceship?' week of scifi nerdiness. Today, Star Wars...What can I say, I love my scifi!
Pencil, ink on paper, Paint in photoshop.
EDIT: Fixed the spelling of 'Millennium' (d'oh!) and added the parsec disclaimer. If only George Lucas had put one in in his movie

lol Is that "Bad Robot" in the background doing the maintenance?

It is, but I don't think it's wise to trust him for repair work
Cheers!

Wait a minute....
I've been hearing that line for nearly all of my life (well, not every day but on and off) and it has only just occurred to me that a run is a route and a parsec is a length of distance.
NOT TIME!
Damn you Lucas! Damn You!!!!!!
Next thing you know they'll be putting hilts on light sabers.

a parsec is not a measurement of time, it is a measurement of distances.

I think Chewy is saying, "Millenium? Where's the other "n"?" I'll bet those damn Jawas stole it ...

They may have come up with a convoluted explanation for his misstatement, but the truth is, they [i.e., G.L.] had no idea what they were talking about when the dialog was written. Β I always used to joke that everybody else had to take the long way around, because of the bad neighborhoods...
Be that as it may, I really like this. Β As usual, you have taken an iconic icon and turned it on its ear. Β And, if you check this out >>>Β My Toys 6 Β <<< you'll get why I really Love

Oh, and thanks for the kind words and I like your 'bad neighbourhood' explanation

His cab used to be available too, but by the time I found out about it, the only place you could get one was on E-Bay and the people selling them, I think, were trying to pay off student loans or something. Β I could never picture forking over that kind of cash for what was basically a $25.00 toy. Β I keep an eye peeled, though.. you just never know. Β The movie was way more popular in its home theater incarnation than it ever was at the box office - I have no idea why; to this day, if I'm flipping channels and stumble upon it, I always wind up watching whatever is left of it, be it 90% or 5%. Β Definitely one of my all-time favorite movies.

I saw a thing of the script that explicitly mentions him being called out for nonsense.
π: 0 β©: 1
..as he should have been. Β Never could understand why he didn't get some kind of science adviser and, seriously, a script writer.

That said, Big Bang Theory fucked up light years, at least parsecs are more obscure l:

I like the dude[tte?] who gave the whole 'scientific' explanation of light speed, distance and time. Β Well thought out. I still don't buy any of the alternative explanations, like him testing the knowledge of Luke or that whole avoiding some mysterious black hole thing. Β Dude just threw in what he thought was a scientifically accurate statement, hoping to impress the audience [of 12 year olds]. Β And was just plain wrong.
Not sure I get the Big Bang Theory reference. Β

ha yeah, you're probably right.
There's some episode where the smart guy corrects the dumb chick... by claiming that light years are actually a time based unit. Haven't been able to take the show seriously since.

Well....
.. it is a comedy.

I always thought that the 'Falcon had everything installed in it including the kitchen sink....and there it is! Bravo, sir!

Also had a dishwasher, three toasters and fridge with an internet connection.
Cheers man!
