I've been doing this galactic travelling for years now ( i maybe prepared to discuss the technology with someone who has got deep pockets )

That is a well-framed shot.

You just have to love the nerdiness of the discussion of the Kessel Run :)

If anyone fancies a bargain ... the deal on seats is ...Buy five and get one free.
Seems like it is too good to miss.... 1 million dollars for 5 seats though.
You better hurry though as I doubt if these seats will go to lastminute.com
