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

Kessel is the german word for a cattle or a boiler.

Just the attributable elements of the "Ford" emblem alone made laugh out loud! Savvy!

Even less impressive when you learn that a parsec is a unit of DISTANCE, not time!!
parΒ·sec
ΛpΓ€rsek/
noun
a unit of distance used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light years (3.086 Γ 1013kilometers). One parsec corresponds to the distance at which the mean radius of the earth's orbit subtends an angle of one second of arc.

You'd think than Han Solo would have gotten that right, but nope, its what he said in the movie. Lucas obviously didn't have access to the internet when he wrote that

I find it funny that they went back and made up a reason for that to work. They claimed that the usual path was too dangerous to be traveled in that short a distance due to black holes, but the Millennium Falcon was fast enough to cut corners. Sure it makes sense, but that doesn't make it less obvious.

I'll bet George Lucas didn't know much about science, just like the average joe writer of today.

Soooo, it's not the fact that parsecs are a measure of distance, not time, that makes this statement unimpressive?Β

Lest you think I'm disparaging your work, fear not, 'taint so. Yep, the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy in its natural state; the one other than breaking down en route. The nerf herder and the walking carpet look wonderful. too.

The first sentence says that I am not telling Dave this is a bad painting. Lando Calrissian called the Falcon "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy". The Falcon always broke down once in each film. Han was a bit of a slob about leaving things laying around in the living areas of the ship. Leia called Han a scruffy-looking nerf herder; and called Chewbacca a walking carpet.

Very realistic nose!
I used to like Harrison Ford until the day he divorced his wife and went for a much younger actress Calista Flockhart. The thing is, it is difficult to tell whose fault the divorce happened (probably both), but it is weird.

Glad you can appreciate a good scruffy nerf herder nose!
As for the other issue, I though Han Solo was married to Chewie

That's probably what happened to his nose, as we know it. Maybe.

Thanks! Hope you weren't laughing at Chewie though... he gets kinda upset about that kind of stuff
