(...) Here are my Top Ten BS explanations (endorsed by Lucas(1) himself): 10. Focus groups respond better to the meatier “twin pod” than to the wimpy “single pod” version 9.

Nice MOC! My question is why the twin pod design? I've always wondered what the purpose of a twin pod design in the cloud car has if there is only one engine between the two. I could see a benefit to the car if the pods were detachable, but one (...) (20 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX)

Not too geeky for me! I love this sort of stuff; it helps us visualize our lego models. Accurate measurements help in the design process. Keep it up! (20 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
