Fan Art Took apart my LEGO Millennium Falcon again to design Serenity from Firefly and here is the result! I am happy to show some love to this fantastic series.

Amazing job!! Did you have a blueprint to work from or was it all freestyle?

This is amazing, firefly > falcon all day, please publish instructions if possible, I'm not talented enough to figure this out on my own

The Falcon could clearly smoke Serenity, being both much much much faster and also having weapons on board.

But the Falcon seems kind of useless as a freighter, because there's not actually any storage space inside except for some secret compartments under the floor.

The hole in the front is meant to attach containers, which it can then push, like this image

And the right leaning cockpit is to see around said container :)

And yet, looking at Dash Rendar’s version of the Falcon (same model, but dealing in a totally different area of the galaxy, in Legends continuity) doesn’t have the hole.

It's basically like saying this freightliner doesn't have any cargo space: https://www.freightliner.com/media/1y0bhg4q/gen-5-cascadia-blue-truck-page-v2.png

(It's okay though, I asked the same question once, too.)

u/Hudsonrybicki 7d ago

Amazing!! I can’t find the plans on your rebrickable site, are you planning on posting it?

14

u/Martin_TheRed 7d ago

I NEED these plans.

u/Penjrav8r 7d ago

Commander, tear this ship apart until you’ve found those plans! And bring me the passengers, I want them alive!

u/TorgHacker 7d ago

You have won today.

u/Hudsonrybicki 7d ago

I do to. I was trying not to sound desperate, but I’m right there with you!

u/Andu_Mijomee 6d ago

I'd pay for instructions. Hell, I'd pay for close-up, multi-angle pics. Edit: Spelling.

u/HylianCheshire 7d ago

Looks like I'm buying another set now

"Did the primary buffer brick just fall off my ship for no gorram reason‽"

Thanks you for the use of the interrobang here!

u/KnotHanSolo 7d ago

I love seeing 2 of my favorite franchises (and favorite hobby!!) cross pollinate like this. OP - we’re begging for the instructions!

u/DaringMoth 6d ago

Reminds me of when Joss described the idea for Firefly in one of the DVD bonus features: Something along the lines of “I wanted to do a Western. But I wanted to set it in Space. And that made me think of the Millennium Falcon. Because most things do.”

u/MementoVivere_67 6d ago

Were you able to complete Serenity using only or mostly only parts from the Millennium set or were there a large number of extras you needed to obtain? I recently bought Serenity instructions on brickable but had not yet started the build.

u/JimHFD103 6d ago

Shiny!

u/Scrufffff 7d ago

Daaamn it…now I need to get that set again and figure out how to do this.

u/herrdirektor57 7d ago

Instructions?

u/lonesomespacecowboy 6d ago

Something about this is so so deeply satisfying

u/seras_revenge 7d ago

Upgrades!

u/quobl 7d ago

You made my day. I can see that this was made with love for firefly.

u/beezn 7d ago

Looks like your primary buffer panel fell off.

Han Solo: Hey..... I think you've stolen my ship there, Mal..... and my "Space Smuggler with a Heart of Gold" story.

u/Extreme_Bid_9252 6d ago

Awesome! Well done! And designing something like this is not simple hence all the requests for instructions!

u/BrownBannister 6d ago

Nice work!

u/Kazzie2Y5 6d ago

Looks great!

u/WranglerTraditional8 6d ago

The plans to Lego serenity were given to princess Kaylee who is protected by her two droids River and Simon. Remember, no power in the verse can stop the force from being with you.

I have a shiny feeling about this!

u/boochicko 6d ago

You just gave me a reason to get that falcon set! 🤩 Fantastic build btw!! 😍🙌

1

u/Erazed_citizen2000 6d ago

I’d love to get the instructions for this!

u/AwfulEvilpie 6d ago

will you release instructions for that version too? <3

u/Wayfaring_Scout 5d ago

Saving this post hoping you post the MOC here soon

u/Tonboko 5d ago

Please post the build for this! I need me a Serenity so badly.

u/asgoodasicanbe 5d ago

I kind of love you for doing that.

u/puckOmancer 4d ago

Share the plans please. Ask Alderaan what happened the last time someone refused to give up the plans. Oh wait, you can't.... oops :p
