The Millennium Falcon is a legendary starship despite its humble origins. She may not look like much on the outside but the Falcon’s got it where it counts. She looks like any other Corellian freighter on the outside but beneath her hull her owner has made many “special Modifications”, boosting her speed, shielding and performance to almost illegal levels.
The Falcon was originally owned by Lando Calrissian, and employed in the shady business of smuggling, before Solo won it in a heated sabacc game. With Solo as the pilot, the Millennium Falcon became a famous starship. She completed the Kessel Run at unprecedented speeds. Solo could not have manned this vessel alone; he had the help of his first mate Chewbacca.
It wasn’t long before the Falcon began flying missions for the Alliance. The Millennium Falcon became a large contributor in some of the Rebel Alliance’s greatest victories over the Empire. It was the Falcon that provided covering fire for Luke Skywalker’s final attack run on the first Death Star. The Falcon became Princess Leia Organa’s escape transport during the Battle of Hoth. During the decisive Battle of Endor, the Falcon flew point for the Alliance Fleet.
