Abstract
When classes at Ouachita resume in August, Dr. Kevin C. "Casey" Motl will have a cool story to share about what he did during his summer vacation: He flew the Millennium Falcon. The pinnacle of a family trip to Disney World came when Motl slipped into the Falcon's cockpit for a turn as pilot on the motion simulator ride Smuggler's Run. For the next 4 1/2 precious minutes, Motl no doubt was the happiest guest at the Happiest Place on Earth.
Completing the fantasy mission and sending the Falcon into hyperspace—twice—was a giant thrill for Motl, a lifelong Star Wars and Harrison Ford fan. He actually has some things in common with Han Solo: He thinks Wookies are awesome and the Falcon is the greatest vessel ever to travel the universe. More significantly, he knows from experience the value of collaboration with trusted teammates.
