If it had the Falcon's cockpit and a Dagobah playland outside, I'd go!

I sort of had this waking dream while looking at my "365 Days - Creating the Worlds of Star Wars" book on my desk. Looking at the MilFal Cockpit on page 64 reminded me of being a kid and sitting in a 747 (or something) cockpit at the children's museum. That was kind of cool, but how cool would it be to sit in the cockpit of the gol' derned Millennium Falcon??? And I want to have my picture taken looking out the window of a Star Destroyer, and I want my picture taken being lowered into the carbonite chamber, and hanging off of the antenna under cloud city, etc...
At first I thought I wanted to start a Star Wars museum... but then I remembered all of the other scenes I wanted my picture taken in... A couple years back I went to the "Fox Studios Baja" park, which is where they've stashed a lot of sets from Titanic, X-Men and a few others. THAT was actually pretty cool. They have a "submarine" set where you can dress up in Navy uniforms, they put fake blood and bruises on you, and then they shoot a scene with you too.
Seriously, we should be doing this with all old movie sets for at least a little while before burning them. I know Peter Jackson has the Shire in storage... maybe I should give him a call.
IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!
