I always did wonder what kind of repairs they were doing on the Millennium Falcon considering how long it took to get it airborne (spaceborne??) again.
Also, millennium comes from Latin, why are there Latin words in Star Wars?
Hey now, as a HVAC mechanic that’s quarter of my salary. Fixing filters with explicit instructions to clean monthly in the manual you all never read, that eventually clot the entire system :p
Half more is in explaing design features and basic operation, only the last quarter is repairs and actual fitting, the work I love and relish.
And we are now recommending you switch to “hyper-space” oil for all space-going craft that have done the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs or less. It’s only another 20 credits* per quart and the protection you receive from it will help you sleep at night. Unless you encounter a Death Star in which case all warranties are null and void.
* Plus tax
OMG! The old “Let me show you the air filter” routine.
With all respect to Mirvanna (who I know is an honest mechanic since they read Bug Martini) I am so tired of the “You gotta replace this with our $300 air filter model” pitch these guys run.
Dude, I only get an hour for lunch. I’ll come back, I swear, I just need my car or else I need to start walking back to work now.
I never watched The Empire Strikes Back (Or any Star Wars movie for that matter), so I’m not sure how closely you’re following the movie, yet I still find it funny! Good job!

They dubbed over the Galactic Basic language in English for the American release of the film.
The really hard part of doing that was teaching all those actors Galactic Basic first.
this is hilarious until you realize that Galactic Basic is actually English with a funny alphabet.
Why are there English words on Star Wars?

I love how you question millinium and not falcon.
Isn’t Chewbugga a bit too slim? Or am I just biased towards a Yeti?
Obviously he’s sucking his gut in for photos.

“Without a transmission fluid system flush, I just wouldn’t feel right about letting you back into hyperspace.”

“Those windshield wipers you just installed yourself yesterday are awfully worn out. We’ll be happy to replace them for only an extra $79.99.”
I have an air filter that can be cleaned and reused. Breaks their heart every time.
If that was the primary air filter then should it not resemble a box of tribbles more than a paper accordion?

aw man… that last line is gold
So glad to see Luke is a Trekkie, just like his dad. Soon, Luke will also be sporting a Trek coffee mug everywhere.
Why does a spaceship need an air filter?
