Coming out of the game STAR WARS:KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC, I was astonished to see a Millennium Falcon type vehicle called the EBON HAWK. It was antiquated but grand in one fell swoop. She appeared to be a cargo ship much like her descendant sister ship the Millenium Falcon. IF ONLY Hasbro would do this line, I would ask for nothing more. The characters and vehicles are as diverse as the first STAR WARS movie A NEW HOPE. It is creativity in this vein that keeps me ever wondering about the possibilities and potentials of anything. This particular ship is based on the original Kenner sized MF and is made mostly from cardboard, the flight stabilizers on the sides were 4 lids from chinese takeout containers, the top opens to seat 2 pilots and 2 passengers and a couple of droids, there is a turret on top, the engines are from button lights with the plastic lens painted yellow.
Sadly, the Hawk has been sold only to replaced by a better Ebon Hawk with upgrades. I think its time to visit the arts and craft store and get that foam wire cutter!
