The iconic Star Wars space craft has been redesigned as if it existed in the modern, marketable world with this LEGO Millennium Falcon. Han Solo's starship is covered in racing livery in this design, boasting brands and logos of various potential sponsors.
The design is made by Joe Gan using Technic panels from the 'Grand Prix Racer' -- a LEGO package that is meant to design a race car. By using some pieces from that toy box, Gan was able to recreate the shape of the Star Wars spacecraft.
The racing livery on the craft sparks ideas about what the flying vehicles would look like if they existed in this modern day and age, racing the skies above with brand names plastered all over their metal bodies.
