Just to have a full scale model of the Millennium Falcon inside and out running electricity running water pretty much turn it into a house and put it out in the middle of a desert that would be awesome
That would be awesome... not only to live in the millennium falcon, but it would also pay for itself since they could sell their boring normal house afterwards. Fun and efficient!
After watching the original trilogy this morning, I thought how cool it would be to build a replica of this cockpit. Just like that , I saw this video out of the blue! I love what you guys have done! This is the coolest thing I've seen! I also love the reason for its being, what drives you to do it. I felt like I was 8 years old again! Thank you!
@@Daniel-dp2yc if only repulsor lift technology actually existed this could be done never mind the real world applications eg strapped to nasa rocket be like launching a rocket off a dwarf planet gravity.
I have worked on military aircraft for 22 years, the "laser gun" on the ceiling is in the exact place where we used a manual sextant as a backup system. Just a thought...….
I was just a boy when the first Star Wars came out. I had always been a sci-fi nut (Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, etc) but when this hit me, it hit hard. I can still remember leaving the theater and starring out the window of my dad's Country Squire station wagon (I always sat in the little fold out seat in the back) and my little mind trying to process what I had just seen. For that Christmas my parents got me a Star Wars book that was like an encyclopedia. It had all the drawings and cutaways and pictures and it had all the vehicles including the Death Star with all the races and maps of the Star Wars universe. It was the best present I had ever got. I would have flipped my lid at this mockup. Big time!
On November 3rd an actual floor piece of the Falcon was sold at auction. Winning bid unknown, but its value was estimated between 8000-12000....man i wanted it so bad!
This is what called "passion driven". This should have set designers jaws' dropping. I only wish the movies had shown more of the inside of the falcon besides under the floors. Still those seats appear more comfy than my prius'.
Can imagine in the very distant future when mankind has mastered space travel , someone will build a real functioning Falcon ...much the same way as back to the future and the delorean
In the story it said they had people helping them. This is great. If they can flesh it out in autocad with specific dementions. This could be a community build.
I was thinking the same exact thing, that would be incredible. They had a mock up one when they filmed The Force Awakens, you can see it in the behind the scenes documentaries for the movie.
Imagine a full size 'spaceport' done up like Mos Eisly with the hangars, ships, and surrounding structures done as a place to visit. that would be a great place to visit.
I'd much rather spend 60k on building a falcon cockpit than just walking into a dealership and buying a car. There's a ton of experience, camaraderie, and in the end you have something that no other middle age dude has, and that you could probably sell for far above the cost to make it.
Star Wars fans are the most passionate and I feel, the wealthiest. I follow a few SW fans in social media and some of them even transform their houses into something that would fit in the SW universe. Some of them collect expensive figures in bulk so that they could army-build. So you could not really blame them if they are the most vocal out of all the fandoms out there. They’re the machine that never stops running and keeps the Star Wars franchise alive.
What he said at the end is totally on point. I have tons of respect of this guy! I'd love to see more, and definitely love to see him kickstart this program, build the millennium falcon and make it a Star Wars museum! How about that! Btw I love playing flying simulations, like DCS - BMS and on these simulations, every little button on the cockpit is clickable. I'd love to see a company taking a shot on sci-fi spaceship like the Falcon.
I seen this years and years ago. A group of em was suppose to build the whole thing open it to the public charging admission etc. guess it never panned out. He use to post updates on a model website. First I seen it in years. Where’s the laser gun Luke uses he built? That was done long time ago too
jake when it first was talked about, Disney hadn’t owned it yet. It was Lucas who sent the cease and desist letter. So.., *Lucasfilm not Disney, Lucasfilm.
This is the coolest video on you tube. Brings me back to my childhood when l turned my bed into a cockpit with switch panels made out of cardboard boxes. Hope you guys get the whole ship built soon. It can be a major attraction. I'd be the first to visit.
How about we all come together to buy a huge chunk of land, build a replica of Mos Eisley Space Port, take this cockpit there, and build the rest of the ship!
Got to meet Greg, and see it first hand this past weekend in Fort Worth. Such a great guy and it must be seen in person! Gave me chills walking into it.
As a 7 year old kid in 1977 I can absolutely say; "Cool." A dear old buddy of mine has a Millenium Falcon mounted on his cars dashboard. Once completed we would love to road trip and pay for a tour B-).
The Millenium Falcon must be the most famous space truck in history. I really like the idea of having an old and somewhat worn out space truck in Star citizen.
Very well done sirs! All you really need now is to install a large projection-screen in front of the cockpit, then hook it up to a gaming system . Star Wars first-person space battles would be fantastic in this. You could charge admission!!
Disney & Lucasfilm build, film and dismantle these type of sets in months. I doubt they have the inclination to let three dudes ponder over how to build a lever for six months, then remake it just because ..
What an ideal time and place to erect a Millennium Falcon! Greg and Jake started the project on May 4th (Star Wars Day) in Huntsville, AL (Rocket City). What a match for rocket science!
You should put a projector above the seats and make the windshield (if that is what it is called in a galaxy far far away, and a long time ago) black plywood, so it seems like you are really flying!!! That would be awesome, and cheap if you think about the ~$45k total.
My Dad took me to see "The Empire Strikes back" when I was 5 in 1980 and it has been my dream ever since to build or ride in a Landspeeder, or "Lambs Peter" as my five year old self called it, anyway this is beyond cool!!
This guy is a hero bringing the iconic millennium falcon to life. I’d love to see him get full scale sponsorship to build the ship.
He could recoup some money by doing tours.
No honestly I have no idea why my wife left me.
Just to have a full scale model of the Millennium Falcon inside and out running electricity running water pretty much turn it into a house and put it out in the middle of a desert that would be awesome
my dream house is a full scale replica of the Millennium Falcon
That....
Would be awesome!
That would be awesome... not only to live in the millennium falcon, but it would also pay for itself since they could sell their boring normal house afterwards. Fun and efficient!
Next the body of milenium falcon
it would be fun to pay for the electricity bill to lol
It isn’t about the completed project; it is about the journey of the build. It’s nice to see the bonding between these guys.
Make it a flight simulator
Popo Tariki yes!!!
Hmmmm - Jeff Goldblum
Popo Tariki no they gonna launch in space like star war
Exactly what i was thinking
With pneumatics!!!!!!!! And screens in every window!!!!!!
He's not "obsessed"!!! He's a true Star Wars Fan!
I always imagined those pads to have a slight cushioning to them.
They are supposed to, in case the ship is moving and you get thrown into them.
I worked on aircraft for 4 years and I had no clue what half the buttons and switches did.. never bothered learning them, these guys have some talent
A full size Death Star 2? And then a functional Dyson sphere perhaps?
U.V. S. THE DEATH STAR 2?thats the size of the moon
Falcon Heavy That’s no moon!
(Sorry, I’ll see myself out....)
Yes a full size Death Star and then launch it as a real satellite!
It would probably be around 3046 by the time we could actually have the technology to make an actual full scale death star
If that took 2.5 years, I look forward to the completion in 25 years!
Most things won't take as long as the cockpit
Panda Lux r/woooosh
Georgina Ioannou he didnt get wooooshed he said he think’s the cockpit will take longer than the rest of the falcon.
how has adam savage not got involved
He's probably hired to make the "real" ones for Disney
Booooooooololololololololololololol
If this were the Enterprise he probably would be.

what you need next is to hire a programmer to make a star wars flight simulation.
Why stop at a simulation?! Do the actual thing and make it fly at least to airplane height
Do you even know what a programmer is?
@@Daniel-dp2yc Yes they should put propellors on the Falcon so they can actually fly her
@@Daniel-dp2yc if only repulsor lift technology actually existed this could be done never mind the real world applications eg strapped to nasa rocket be like launching a rocket off a dwarf planet gravity.

Yay, escapism in it's finest form!
Disney should sell full size architectural blueprints to build millennium falcon houses.
there blue prints online
I know where im mounting the sky dish . . .
On November 3rd an actual floor piece of the Falcon was sold at auction. Winning bid unknown, but its value was estimated between 8000-12000....man i wanted it so bad!
Pure labor of love! Congrats! May the force, the money, the time, the resources and the patient be with you ...
Always...
This is what called "passion driven". This should have set designers jaws' dropping. I only wish the movies had shown more of the inside of the falcon besides under the floors. Still those seats appear more comfy than my prius'.
Dan Bee I think we will in Solo ma dude, that's why it's gonna be such a great movie
What I call a rich dude who retired early.
Dan Bee This is also called "virgins for life"

@@randomdood5196 thank you for explaining my reply to that moron. She's the idiot for not getting it.
Don't forget the golden dice hanging in the backtop
Guys building the falcon cockpit for 6 years
Disney: hold my beer (builds it within a year for galaxies edge)
I wonder if Disney might have virtually unlimited staff, money and access to film set blueprints 🤔
These guys have x amount of money for this thing
Disney has x multiplied by 10 million for galaxy's edge
Disney built a dang planet not just the falcon, but of course with the millions they have
Can imagine in the very distant future when mankind has mastered space travel , someone will build a real functioning Falcon ...much the same way as back to the future and the delorean

4:24 falcon arcade machine

that is in progress now...
disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2018/01/9-things-we-know-about-star-wars-galaxys-edge-at-walt-disney-world-so-far/
I hope Disney does it well, but I have my doubts. If they can't hopefully someone will license it and do it well.
They have an official 3d concept model (which will be about 99% close to the final product) Disney revealed earlier this year
That sounds pretty exciting to me.
It will be a thing as of next year, it’s called Galaxy’s Edge. Google it.
A full size falcon would just be the greatest thing ever.
Some dudes have a midlife crisis and waste their money on a corvette, some on a full scale Falcon replica
I'd much rather spend 60k on building a falcon cockpit than just walking into a dealership and buying a car. There's a ton of experience, camaraderie, and in the end you have something that no other middle age dude has, and that you could probably sell for far above the cost to make it.
There is nothing like building something you love.
..breathes in..
*Ok boomer*
Corvette? 😂😂
Typical old dude car.
@@Dr.MantisTobogganMD More like OK GenXer
The guy that invented the "midlife crisis" concept is just a sad boring woman
When they add the flight yokes, they should be USB-compatible so they can play the old Star Wars arcade game with them.
This is truly amazing, glad there are fans that do what they love

This man needs to connect with Colin Furze and Adam Savage to help him reach his goal of making the whole ship!
Building a full scale millennium falcon would be so sweet. I would love to see that.
I'm trying to build one in my basement which goes into a man cave which will be filled with starwars collectables and entertainment.
John McCalmant that sounds fuckin sick
@@MrRayminater it's going to be awesome. I'm going to make the cockpit a small theater that sits 4 in falcon chairs.
Since I saw the film back in the 70,s I always want to have one of those space crafts ! And scape to the space
Great job guys. Great job!
I literally had no idea this was in my city this whole time 😮
Michael Stringfellow same
You need to find it so we can get an update :)
sgtpepper1138 track it down on google maps
“A time when we weren’t bombarded.” Very well said. And very nice to go with The Empire Strikes Back cockpit.
Good luck with your build. I love your passion.

He use to post updates on a model website. First I seen it in years.
Where’s the laser gun Luke uses he built?
That was done long time ago too
Shawna Graham Lucasfilm frowns upon someone using their property to make money. Unless... of course, it’s them making the money.

Yes this was years ago I’m talking about way before it sold
Get these guys on patreon!
Anyone who pours that much devotion into any creative endeavour has my respect. Be passionate about your passions, or what's the point of having them?
HE SAID *”UNDER 12 PARSECS”*
The Privileged Capitalist he didn’t though
Listen closely
Should have used "less than"....LOL.
Aren't parsecs a measure of distance
@@inleviwetrust yup
My car does 100km in 75km
What you really need is NASA to make a real one

I'm in awe. Beautifully done. Hope you eventually plan to have a holographic projection that places you in the space environment.
8:43 Pinball flipper assembly and coil as well as a pop bumper skirt in the access panel! Fun detail!

It can be a major attraction.
I'd be the first to visit.
Disney wouldn’t allow it sadly.
@@todaywithlach9251 The Universe will get rebuild again, one way or another
Love the last thing he said "if we could pull the 4 levers back and get out of here, I think we would do it..." I wouldn't think about it, I'd do it..
“I stared may 4”
*puplished may 4*
How about we all come together to buy a huge chunk of land, build a replica of Mos Eisley Space Port, take this cockpit there, and build the rest of the ship!
I have always wanted to live inside of the Millennium Falcon
This is great guys, really love it.
If I'd live closer I would love to help someday.
This is really a museum piece if you build the whole thing!
So proud to have worked on that beast
Lucasfilm needs to employ these guys, that's a pretty damn good achievement! Wow!
ABSOLUTELY AWSOME!!!!!! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU GUYS!!!!!!!
No dice?
No women either
Got to meet Greg, and see it first hand this past weekend in Fort Worth. Such a great guy and it must be seen in person! Gave me chills walking into it.
I thought the quote was “it’s the ship that made the kessel run in (less) than 12 parsecs” (he said under)
jeez he just paraphrased
I really love seeing people really passionate about something.
If there was a saluting emoji I would use it right now to these men

12 parsecs not 112
he said "under 12 parsecs"

It’s actually “She’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs!”

Have you seen your profile pic?
Fuckin' roasted
Get out of here
Not cool.

I have never watched a single Star Wars movie it’s crazy how many fans it’s got
6:58
Less than 12 Parsecs
Just sayin'.
Great job on the ship though.
These guys are very talented to do this. Amazing
Real fans would have built the full ship.
Real multi-millionaire fans maybe.
A " real " fan would have flown the Kessel run already.
they started to build it on my Birth day :) MAY the 4ource be with you
How about just go to Disney instead you can fly the millennium falcon there
But thats no fun
SpookedFrog true
Started this way before Disney!
That is just too cool you guys have done a great job.
