Fan Builds Lego Millennium Falcon

'Star Wars' fan spends a year building 7,500-piece Lego Millennium Falcon - It might not make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, but this Star Wars fan's recreation of the Millennium Falcon is still pretty impressive.

The fan, who goes by Marshal Banana on Flickr, said it took an entire year and approximately 7,500 pieces to build Han Solo's famous ship.

"My main goal was to present the model in a flying position, which was a huge task. Due to its internal framework it was not possible to include an interior, but I was able to fully lighten the model," he wrote. "And there was still enough space left to include a detailed cockpit (with 4 seats), gunner's platform and a lowering ramp."

He added that it weighs about 22 pounds and measures 32 inches long by 21 inches wide and 7 inches deep. "I am proud how this creation came together - I hope you like it as well."
