NEW JERSEY (WABC) -- A New Jersey congressman is proving you're never too old to 'use the force.'

Congressman Andy Kim recently tweeted that 10 years ago when he married his wife, she wasn't thrilled that he put a Lego version of the Star Wars Millennium Falcon on their wedding registry.

So, Kim patiently waited till they had kids and could use them for cover to build his dream model of Hans Solo's ship.

Along the way, he chronicled his effort to build the model with his boys.
