The Building of the Lego Millennium Falcon: The Definitive Movie
Yes. It's finished—but I didn't do the video. I couldn't compete with the genius and patience of David Gunstensen, who sent me the only Lego Millennium Falcon construction stop motion movie you need to watch. More »

Millennium Falcon Sled is as Close as You'll Ever Get to the Real Thing
You may never fly the Millennium Falcon with a Wookie by your side, but at least you can fly down a hill on a rough approximation of the famous ship. That's still pretty good.

Modded Millennium Falcon Can Pass for Real Movie Prop
Giz reader Peter Clute saw the impressive Hasbro Millennium Falcon and instead of just buying it to play and go all pew-pew with it, he decided to make it better, painting new wear and tear details, and adding a motion sensor and infrared sensor, and a load of extra LEDs. The results are impressive: More » -

First Peek at Hasbro's Relaunched Millennium Falcon
This, is Hasbro's new Millennium Falcon, unveiled to ExtremeTech's Brian Heater in a Manhattan hotel yesterday. The only reason the toy giant reworked it was because the original mold broke, which made us chuckle. Thirty percent larger than the original, it's got room for up to 18 action figures—and Han and Chewy (the only two characters I like) are thrown in for free. You can hear the late Sir Alec Guinness' disembodied voice Obi-wanning it, and dazzle yourself with the flashing lights, but cross your legs, Star Wars fans, because it's not out until July. There's also a whole bunch of Clone Wars merch on its way, including an AT-TE walker and some helmets, check out ExtremeTech for a video of that in action. [ExtremeTech]

How to Love a LEGO Lunatic
At a party once, Jesus was asked if he were a leg man or a tit man. The answer is neither. He's a LEGO man. Well, to be honest, he's all three, but rather like faith, hope and charity, the greatest of my husband's loves is LEGO. I'm not bitter. The colorful, benippled bricks have just been around rather longer than I have. That's not to say LEGO has never caused problems in our relationship. When it did, though, I came up with the following 10-point solution to cope. More »

Stunning Hasbro Millennium Falcon Jumps Out of Hyperspace
This is THE Millennium Falcon toy that never arrived when every 9-yo kid wanted it in 1977: the 2.5-foot Hasbro's Star Wars Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon, worthy of the most mind-blowing SW collections. It's probably the most realistic Falcon toy you can buy this side of an actual prop, with LEDs everywhere, sound, movable parts, and absolutely every detail imaginable except real engines. And when I say every detail, I mean every single detail, as you will see in the full hi-res gallery after the jump. More »

LEGO Star Wars Space Port: That's a Lot of Free Time
Just in time for the 30th anniversary, someone conjured up one sweet rendition of a Star Wars-style space port via LEGO, complete with the Millennium Falcon, AT-AT walkers, and an Imperial Shuttle. The only thing it's missing is a Slave I model, because you can't have the Falcon without Boba Fett close behind. More »

Millennium Falcon Mini: She Makes The Kessel Run in Less Than Twelve Parsecs
I have seen some crazy Star Wars gear in my day, and even some fine mods that use the Millennium Falcon motif. But this one is point five past light speed nicer. The reason? As Han Solo would say, a lot of special modifications. There is a jack for an iPod Shuffle between the mandibles, an iSight camera is housed in the cockpit, and everything can be fit inside this $20 toy model in under three hours. The rear hatch opens, allowing access to the optical drive and power button (be careful not to grynx the DVD drive). This mod will finally let me watch the Star Wars DVD box set in splendor—and then feel like a total geek for the rest of the millennium. More »
