When did the Millennium Falcon change?
1999
The ship originally had a more elongated appearance, but this design’s similarity to the Eagle Transporters in Space: 1999 prompted Lucas to change the Falcon’s design. The original model was modified, re-scaled, and used as Princess Leia’s ship, Tantive IV.
Why was the original design for the Millennium Falcon changed at the last minute prior to filming a new hope?
The first designs of the ship looked more like a standard rocket ship with the long tube-shape and with a cockpit in front. However when the ship began to look too much like the Eagle from Space: 1999, the design was modified with a new hammerhead cockpit and became the Tantive IV instead.
Why does everyone say the Millennium Falcon is garbage?
The reason everyone thinks the Millennium Falcon is a piece of junk is because it literally looks like a piece of junk. It is a very old cargo hauler that has been through a lot and it looks like that, too.
Was the Millennium Falcon supposed to be destroyed?
The first Falcon was destroyed after production. The second was made for Star Wars II, which became Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. It was then stored for three years, until Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The Falcon from Empire and Jedi was then trashed and burned in a giant bonfire.

What did Luke Skywalker say about the Millennium Falcon?
Luke Skywalker on laying eyes on the Millennium Falcon for the first time: What a piece of junk! Han Solo: She’ll make point five past lightspeed. She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid. I’ve made a lot of special modifications myself.
Why is the Millennium Falcon called the Millennium Falcon?
The key take away for us is how the Falcon got its name. So there we have it – the Millennium Falcon’s name was probably inspired by a combination of talking Falcon from The Maltese Falcon and combining it in a round about way with The Eagle space ship from Space 1999….
Why did the Falcon change so much in solo?
The Falcon looks very different in Solo but the movie explains why the ship changed so much after Han became its owner.
What’s under Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon?
The famed Kessell Run, which Han boasted about crossing in 12 parsecs, is pocked with black holes. And in the trailer we see the vessel contending with giant, electrified tentacles in a nebula. No wonder the new Hasbro toy version of this movie’s Millennium Falcon has break-away panels, revealing the raw, greeble-covered surface beneath.
Is the Falcon still mint in the box?
Any fan who has ever owned a Star Wars toy knows this simple fact: pieces get lost. The Falcon we’ve known all this time is far from mint in the box. What’s more interesting is how the Falcon will continue to evolve in the future.
How did Han Solo try to ease Luke Skywalker’s mind?
That’s how Han Solo attempted to ease the mind on unimpressed Luke Skywalker when the Tatooine farmboy first laid eyes on the Millennium Falcon. But once upon a time — a long time ago — the Corellian freighter did look pretty fine.
