The Lady Luck is Lando Calrissian's luxury space yacht, not
built for combat, but rather for cruising... although smuggling with it
can be quite profitable as well. It has been featured in a variety of EU
books, and it also makes an appearance in Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast,
along with Lando himself (apparently all cocky smuggler types hold
regular meetings, and Kyle Katarn, Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, and Dash
Rendar are all members...). My LEGO version, while not quite big enough
to be minifig scale, features just about all of the details. If you look
on the second shot above, you can even see the tip of the lower gun
turret poking out of the bottom.
 
You'll notice my Lando Calrissian minifig has yellow "skin." This is
due to my fundamental belief that all LEGO minifigs should be yellow.
Apparently LEGO felt the same way for quite some time, because they
dodged the issue of making skin-toned minifigs completely by simply not
making any black characters for a number of years. Finally, quite a
while after I created the above minifig, they did release Lando as a
brown-skinned minifig (alongside several yellow-skinned figs also
included in the set). Soon after that, all official movie-based minifigs
switched to skin-tones (peach and brown). That was, IMHO, a sad day in
the history of LEGO. Besides, I still think my Lando fig actually looks
more like him. Heh.
(NOTE: the other figs shown above include a simplistic Bespin Han
Solo custom, General Veers, and Mara Jade)
