Nine-year-old Christian Bentley of Oklahoma is a major Star Wars fan who’s battling leukemia. He recently had a wish granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation — a big honkin’ Star Wars wish.
Christian got himself a Star Wars clubhouse, and Little Mountain Productions built a topper for his new fort that’s a pretty darn accurate replica of the Millennium Falcon. little Mountain is a professional company that makes stages, sets, special effects, and props for a living.
The Falcon fort is a wooden, intricately painted construction to make it look battle-worn, complete with an acrylic dome on top, a front “door” that lowers like a gang plank, and solar-powered LED lighting inside and out. the whole thing cost about $5,100 to create, and the money was raised by Christian’s elementary school. Make-A-Wish even arranged for costumed Star Wars characters to be on-hand when the fort was unveiled to Christian.
Man, that thing looks awesome. I want one for my kids! wonder if little Mountain would make ‘em to order?

More on the topic in the post linked below. A consistency with reality (as we experience it) lends to plausibility, which moves a story to the hard sci-fi end of the applied imagination (writing) scale. One aspect of plausibility might be…things break, have flaws. FTL drives may be fantastic, but let it break and your feet are back on the ground. That may make the Millenium Falcon the realest thing in all Star Warsdom.
