  • (eerie music)

  • - When the young kids on the street

  • found out that I was working on Star Wars,

  • I was like a God to them.

  • (droid beeping)

  • Those kids are now parents.

  • They've seen the movies throughout the years.

  • It was always in the back of their mind, like,

  • "Oh, I remember playing with the Falcon,

  • "I remember playing with the X-wing and the TIE fighter."

  • (Vader breathing)

  • (lightsaber whooshing)

  • To understand that you have a small part

  • of that kind of bigger world is pretty cool.

  • (exciting music)

  • My name is Mark Boudreaux,

  • and I've been fortunate enough

  • to work on Star Wars toys since 1977.

  • (upbeat music)

  • The amazing thing about Star Wars,

  • I don't think it's really ever gone away.

  • It's always been there.

  • Vehicles has been sort of what I really am

  • the most passionate about:

  • TIE fighters, X-wings, Rey's speeder.

  • I have always built models, built planes, cars,

  • so they said, "Hey, Mark, why don't you go ahead

  • and start working on the Millennium Falcon?"

  • I said like, "Sure, why not?"

  • (drum and bass music)

  • The Millennium Falcon is more than just a machine.

  • It really is a character that helps save the day.

  • It's more than just a hunk of junk.

  • You want it to be able to provide an experience

  • that could extend from the film,

  • so when you went to go see the movie,

  • you come right back and you're playing with Luke,

  • you're playing with Han, you're playing with Chewie,

  • and you're able to relive everything

  • that you saw in the film.

  • (soft music)

  • Long after I've gone to the Force, wherever that might be,

  • this product will still be there.

  • Grandkids from now will hopefully

  • still be enjoying Star Wars.

  • And we certainly want to try to do our small part

  • into making sure that that continues.
