May the 4th be with you.

This image is very similar to an older post of a pano of the view from La Grande Arche de la Défense, Paris looking down to the Arc de Triomphe. La Defanse does have a very future city feel about it especially this view so adding the Tie fighter and the Millenium Falcon just as the new Star Wars film "The Force Awakens" is out at the Cinema in a few days time.

 

The Millennium Falcon a spacecraft in the Star Wars universe commanded by Han Solo and his Wookiee, Chewbacca . The highly modified YT-1300 light freighter first appears in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), and subsequently in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983) and, in a cameo, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). According to Star Wars creator George Lucas, the Falcon's design is inspired by a hamburger, with the cockpit being an olive on the side. The ship originally had a more elongated appearance, but the similarity to the Eagle Transporters in Space: 1999 prompted Lucas to change the Falcon's design. The sound of the ship traveling through hyperspace comes from two tracks of the engine noise of a McDonnell Douglas DC-9, with one track slightly out of synchronization with the other.

 

" Spot the droids" as Darrell put it.

Neil Ellis. To view the Millennium Falcon in all her glory, it is a must to view large.

 

May the Force be with you!
