Not the Falcon's Hyperdrive. THAT was Lando's work. According to the story, Lando put an engine from a big cargo ship in the Falcon before Han aqcuired it. It wasn't a proper fit, and could get easily out of whack (i.e. all of tESB), but when it ran, it was much faster than anything else. -- Matt But they DID make the life support system on virtually every '50's and 60's space movie. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
