The only thing that would make this better is if they showed them putting a Porkins figure in the ship before they launched it.

The galaxy rejoiced today after JarJar's first day at the rebel flight academy went better than expected.

"I thought I smelled your foul stench." But it was just burning balsa-wood.

In related news Brinn Winzim, proposed test pilot for the upcoming "Y-wing" series of space fighters, was quoted as saying "Hermsh missana*" and then making plans for an extended visit to Planet Disney.

Classic. All that work, gone in an instant. Reminds me of when the Top Gear crew tried to build their own shuttle.

Morons. Everyone knows the wings should be closed for take-off and only opened for combat!

Was that geeky enough for you?

That Top Gear one and this X-Wing one are still impressive. Take it from someone who was building rockets a few years ago. It's great to see something you put a lot of hard work into actually fly... even if it is just for a few seconds before it explodes into a ball of fire.
