Code Blocks

Falcon’s Navigation System (JavaScript)

class MillenniumFalcon {
  constructor() {
    this.pilot = "Han Solo";
    this.copilot = "Chewbacca";
    this.parsecs = 12;
  }

  makeKesselRun() {
    console.log(`${this.pilot} completed it in ${this.parsecs} parsecs!`);
  }
}

const falcon = new MillenniumFalcon();
falcon.makeKesselRun();

Hyperdrive Calculator (Python)

def calculate_hyperdrive_speed(distance, time):
    """Han's personal hyperdrive calculator"""
    speed = distance / time
    print(f"Traveling at {speed} light years per hour")
    return speed

# The Kessel Run
kessel_distance = 18
kessel_time = 12
calculate_hyperdrive_speed(kessel_distance, kessel_time)

Ship Status Command (Bash)

#!/bin/bash
# Check Millennium Falcon systems

echo "Running diagnostics on the Millennium Falcon..."
falcon_systems=("hyperdrive" "shields" "weapons" "life_support")

for system in "${falcon_systems[@]}"; do
    echo "Checking $system... OK"
done

echo "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts!"

import random

    """Never tell me the odds!"""
    if odds < 3720:
        print("🚀 Han doesn't care about your statistics!")
        return True

    # Han always finds a way
    luck_factor = random.randint(1, 12)  # Kessel Run luck
    success = luck_factor > 6

    if success:
        print(f"✓ Escaped! Luck factor: {luck_factor}/12 parsecs")
    else:
        print("⚠ Time to use the secret compartments!")

    return success

# The odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field
asteroid_odds = 3720
han_solo_escape(asteroid_odds)

Result: Han successfully navigated the asteroid field because he calculated the odds he never listens to protocol droids!
