Amy Ratcliffe brings us the latest entry into the Fully Operational Fandom series as she looks at the creation of this amazing cardboard Millenium Falcon, the only Star wars vehicle that can literally fold space.
When I see a pile of cardboard boxes, my first thought is usually about whether my cats would like to play with them. I know cardboard has functions beyond holding stuff and beyond serving as a bed for my choosy felines, but I’m not always patient or skilled enough to see beyond the surface. But artist Tom Richner? He has vision. When it came time for him to empty out cardboard boxes in his basement, he decided to repurpose the material rather than stacking it by the recycling bin and created a detailed replica of the Millennium Falcon.
