Lifesize Falcon Cockpit On Red Carpet

The world premiere of Solo: A Star Wars Story took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood yesterday with hundreds of celebrities and thousands of flash bulbs in attendance, and a full-size Millennium Falcon parked on the red carpet.

But going largely unnoticed in the throng was the life-sized cockpit of Lando’s ship de jour made entirely of LEGO bricks.

Are we seeing triple? ? No, that really is Peter Mayhew (@TheWookieeRoars), @JoonasSuotamo, and Chewbacca himself visiting the LEGO Millennium Falcon cockpit at the red carpet premiere of #Solo: A @starwars Story. ? pic.twitter.com/2iR9oCwnzp

Weighing in at more than 3,400 pounds (that’s just over 1500 kilograms) and took 705 man-hours to construct, it was a draw for many attending the event – including Mal from the Serenity, Carlton from Beverly Hills and Richard from Silicon Valley.

Solo: A Star Wars Story gets its full-on release on May 25th. Toys from the LEGO line are already on sale in bricks & mortar stores as well as online at LEGO.com.
