At best, the wing would act as a good set of elevators, but you are going to need some large canards on the front, and a decent swept wing on the roof line.
Also, the exhaust ports couldn't possibly produce enough thrust to maintain flight, you'll need some fart cans added for that.
A pair of JATOs might help to cover the torque dip during takeoff spin-up.
Either that, or they are using Star Wars universe laws of aerodynamics!
I am still laughing at the pic though!
