Millennium Falcon Look-Alike High School Delights 'Star Wars' Fans (PHOTO)

Millenium Falcon

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away it was known as the 'fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy,' but for Allentown, Pa., the Millennium Falcon takes a different form -- the layout of Parkland High School.

We're not kidding, the school's campus looks exactly like Han Solo's spaceship in 'Star Wars'.

While The Soup TV reports officials at the high school claim they didn't consciously plan the campus that way, we're pretty sure they're just lying low to "avoid any imperial entanglements."

The consensus on Reddit, where the photo was originally posted by user biggins339, seems to be the same conclusion.

"Somewhere out there, there's a civil engineer laughing his a-- off," user splatt9990 wrote.

May the force be with them.

I'll wait for the school designed to remind me of Princess Leia in that leather bikini. ;-)

I would've loved it if my high school had looked like this.

Well, the school may not look like much, but it's got it where it counts.

Okay, I think the school needs to change the name of their sports teams to the "Scoundrels" (or the "Nerfherders" perhaps?) and the school mascot needs to be Chewbacca. ;)

I think the teachers at this school are now obligated to speak like Master Yoda.

I guess since I don't know what the millennium falcon is I don't see anything.

We called my high school the Death Star.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was done on purpose. A middle school in New Jersey with a large Jewish population was modeled after a swastika, missing one leg. When they built an addition, they didn't follow the design pattern, although it's still evident in aerial views.
