For example, hub caps, stereo parts, or coffee mugs might be glued to the side of a model to add shape to an otherwise flat panel of a space ship. Greeblies are the detail pieces that are used by model makers to make a model appear more interesting and complex than it was originally designed. When all the pieces are complete, they will be assembled into a single Jedi delivery system for all the world to experience.Įnter Greebli.es. So, he founded the Full Scale Millennium Falcon Project and now people all over the world are helping to build pieces of the Falcon. He was going to need a community - a army. He was going to need more than just a little help. However, it was obvious this was not going to be the case with this project. Most of Chris’ projects were small in comparison and required (only!) a few years to complete. To say “it can’t be done” would be to say words you will never hear from Chris. To say this is a big project is an understatement. Not a quarter or half scale version but a full scale Millennium Falcon. It was now time to scratch that itch that had always been there – the desire to build a Millennium Falcon. He spent the next three years building a movie accurate replica R2-D2. He then decided he needed to build an R2-D2 and happened upon the R2-D2 Builders Club. He later built the first replica costume of an Imperial Biker Scout. He started by joining the 501st Legion (#61) with a used store-bought Storm Trooper costume. He presented us with photos of the very early sketches of his high school engineering designs to build a Millennium Falcon.Īs time went by and Chris excelled in his profession, resources became more plentiful and it started to become possible to put some of his plans into action. Although he didn’t have the resources to take action, the planning started soon after the first Star Wars movie (not the “kiddie” new movies but the real movies as he refers to them) in 1977. It’s important to understand that Chris’ plans started very early as a young school kid. I had a chance to catch up with Chris at TEDx Nashville where he was presenting on “Robots, Spaceships, and Greeblies: Build Your Dream.” Basically, Chris’ dream has always been to make the Star Wars fantasy world a reality. The man I’m referring to is Chris Lee and he is what I lovingly refer to as a super maker. What do you do after you’ve joined the 501st Legion, made an Imperial Storm Trooper costume, built a full-scale R2-D2, and married a wife named Leah (pronounced Lay-uh like the princess)? Well, you start a project to build a full scale Millennium Falcon, of course.
