Any real geek would immediately recognize that isolinear chips are from Star Trek and the Millenium Falcon is Star Wars. Sheesh. Give it a better try next time! ;)You can pack more data into an isolinear chip from ST than you can into any SW counterpart . The Enterprise D backed up the important data from the Binar's entire homeworld, ferchrisakes. I don't recall any massive data storage feats in a SW story (be it film or novel).
"It's time for a spritz."
"Laaadddyyy.....'
And I do believe that the Millenium Falcon is quite a bit faster than any ST ship. Han has travelled across most of his galaxy, but it takes Voyageur 75 years to travel from the Beta Quadrant back into the Alpha Quadrant at high warp velocity.
So I combined the best of both franchises -- the high velocity of Star Wars with the huge data-capacity of Star Trek. That equals great bandwidth, and makes me a huge geek :)
