Coin Story Despite her humble origins and shabby exterior, the Millennium Falcon has played a role in some of the greatest victories of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic. The Falcon looks like a worn-out junker, but beneath her hull she’s full of surprises. A succession of owners, from Lando Calrissian and Han Solo to Gannis Ducain, have made special modifications that boosted the freighter’s speed, shielding and firepower to impressive ? and downright illegal ? levels. The price of such tinkering? The Falcon can be unpredictable, with her hyperdrive particularly balky. Despite her flaws, she’s beloved by her owners ? Han Solo and Chewbacca have spent years searching the galaxy for the ship they once called home.
INTERESTING FACT: The Falcon was built in several different sizes. Complete models of the Millennium Falcon ranged from very small. Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand to over four feet. An almost full-size replica of the ship’s exterior was made for The Empire Strikes Back. It measured almost 60-feet-long.
