That loose white dress is horrible in an environment that could have zero-gravity at any moment.

Sleeves are good, though. Extra air friction, easy to kind of flap around.

I decided he won the Millennium Falcon award by a smidgen for having something actually wrong with the engine.

One could say the Millenium Falcon is some sort of hotrod, with bits from here and there - and a totally unexpected turn of speed.
Which makes Han Solo a sort of latter-day Bob Falfa (Ford’s character in American Graffiti) or John Milner (Paul Le Mat’s in the same film).
Leia’s remark wouldn’t be out of place in that film either.

Considering that the Toschi station scenes with Luke, Biggs, etc. were axed due to making the movie too “American Graffiti in Space”...

My knowledge of the
Star Wars
universe is limited to the first three films. I had never heard about the deleted scene or Biggs, for that matter - thanks!
It certainly had a strong American Graffiti vibe. They did well in deleting the scene.
Back in 1977 some film critics found lots of similitudes or parallel stories between
Star Wars
and
American Graffiti
(and many other things, even
The Magic Flute).
One even suggested that Vader was a sinister
father
figure. In 1977!
