Talk:Millennium Falcon/Legends

EPIII appearance

 * "The Millennium Falcon was present in the Galactic Senate docking bay on Coruscant shortly after the Second Battle of Coruscant, but not much else is known of the ship's early history."

Is it confirmed in any source that the vessel was the Falcon? My instinct is that while OOU it is a nod to fans, the IU explanation is that the ship was just another YT-1300. --SparqMan 20:54, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * George Lucas confirmed that it was the Falcon. I read that on our article for Episode III. -- SFH 21:25, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I heard that George Lucas did confirm the YT-1300 in that movie to be the Falcon, though of course Han was not the captain at the time. My question is who was? (Note, not a real question.) --TheLIGHTSABERwieldingNERFHERDER 00:36, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, as far as the Falcon in Episode III, this has been known for quite some time. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:12, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Quotes
I'd submit that we can cut that Han quote off after "heard of the Millennium Falcon". That pretty much says it all, I think. And for that matter, is the Luke quote really needed? I didn't even think two quotes were allowed. CooperTFN 02:15, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I've truncated the first quote, and moved the second to "modifications" section. QuentinGeorge 02:35, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * That works. CooperTFN 02:38, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Armament
The article says the concussion missile launchers weren't added until the Falcon began serving as a courier ship for the Solo family, but the original Star Wars Sourcebook (1987) lists the launchers and it covers the time period of the original trilogy, and I've seen many elements of the Sourcebook referenced as canon. 69.105.173.14 05:23, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hero's Trial notes that the concussion missile launchers between the mandibles were added at Shug Ninx's spacebarn on Nar Shaddaa before Han and Chewie's days in the Corporate Sector. --SparqMan 19:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Sublight Speed
Ok i don't get it how can an Imperial class star destroyer able to catch up to the Millennium Falcon even though it have max acceleration of 2300g while the Falcon has a max acceleration of 3000g? It doesn't make sense.

-Darth Tader


 * If you wanna go by RPG stats, the Imperial Star Destroyer has a sublight speed of 60 MGLT, whereas a standard YT-1300 has a speed of 40. Naturally the Falcon is upgraded, so it's probably slightly faster than the ISD. -Danik Kreldin 17:43, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the missing info -Darth Tader

Okay, how fast *is* 'G' in terms of kilometers per hour or miles per hour? And on another note, what is the real world factor of MGLT?


 * A 'G' is the force of gravity on Earth (or, in the case of Star Wars, Coruscant), which is about 9.8 meters per second. It's a measure of linear acceleration, not speed. In space, there is no top speed, just top acceleration. And on MGLT, we don't really know... Someone mentioned that one MGLT is about 0.3 km/s, for whatever that's worth, which usually works when you convert it into 'G's... Usually. Ben of Oz 02:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Millenium Falcon in Attack of the Clones?
On Naboo in Atttack of the Clones, you can see a YT-1300 transport at the spaceport. Has it ever been stated whether or not this is the Falcon? If it has never been stated that it is NOT the falcon, perhaps someone should include a reference to its appearance. --143.229.139.43 21:21, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's been confirmed they're just three random YT-1300s, same as those seen in the same location in RotS. Only the YT-1300 on Coruscant in RotS has been confirmed as the Falcon - Kwenn 18:16, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Falcon's Layout should be changed
I believe that a scan of the MF from the ICS book would be a better illustration than the one currently on the page.
 * That might cause copyright issues. --DannyBoy7783 20:40, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

A Tired Thought
I am running on fumes right now, and I want to put this in before I forget: why was Vader so intent on capturing the Falcon? I understand that Luke was on it, but before he was adamant that the bounty hunters find it. Maybe I'm delirious, just very curious. --Quidon88 04:47, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Vader probably assumed that Han and Chewbacca would know where to find Luke. -- SFH 05:07, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, maybe some anger over being shot by it in Ep. I. -Finlayson 02:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Question about Canon
I've got a question...are comic books consider "canon" enough for Wookieepedia? I've read several that deal with the Falcon and Han, and what they did prior to ANH and in between ANH and ESB. Darthvadersnewmaster 23:35, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * yep they are, depending on what ones your on about. Tales generally isn't although there are exceptions.. Jedi Dude 23:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

In Revenge of the Sith
I don't think the Millennium Falcon was in ROTS. The are tons of YT-1300 Trasports in the galaxy. Is there any proof that that was the Millennium Falcon out of thousands of other YT-1300 Trasports? Double D
 * I think that should be an unoffical appearance (easter egg) anyway. Don't think that should be listed. Anybody know more? -Finlayson 17:12, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * George Lucas himself was reported as saying that is was the Millennium Falcon, though I forget when and where. I read it though. Anyone else got more? --Taybo20 18:03, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Backup Hyperdrive
The stats section of the article has information about the primary hyperdrive but is missing data on the backup (which presumably was used to reach Cloud City in Ep. V). My gut says it was a Class 12 but I can't verify that. Does anyone know for sure, and have a source? Larkid 13:33, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Appearances
Should Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination be added to the appearances list? If not I think that its appearance there should at least be mentioned somewhere in the article. - General Layton
 * Mention in the Behind the Scenes. Don't think that is considered a Star Wars Appearance any way.  -Finlayson 18:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Rebuilt in 16 ABY
At the beginning of the Black Fleet Crisis, a crew is finishing a total rebuild of Millennium Falcon. Han comments later than she is too tight. He can't tell how much she is straining. In any event, I don't see an obvious good location to mention this rebuild. Suggestions? -Finlayson 02:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I am not sure were that sould be put, but there also needs to be something added about the Falcon's part in the Second Battle of Kuat. - User:General Layton

Behind the Scenes
I thought this picture of the original concept design for the Millenium Falcon, by Ralph McQuarrie, would be nice, if anyone wanted to add it to the "Behind the Scenes" section. Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 00:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm almost certain that is a concept drawing of the Tantive IV not the Falcon. - JMAS 22:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's both actually. The Falcon design was changed late cause it resembled ships on Space: 1999 TV series. -Fnlayson 22:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

ROTS Picture
We already have an image of the toy with the ROTS paint scheme, but the card back of that figure also has an in-universe picture of the Falcon, which might be better. I don't know where it could fit, but here it is:



Lord Hydronium 06:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That's pretty cool. Where was it at in the movie?  Sadriel Fett (Mando'a) 05:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That particular shot wasn't, but the Falcon can be seen here as Obi-Wan and Anakin return from the space battle. - Lord Hydronium 01:28, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Would those Blue Markings make the Falcon alleged with CIS ? 24.215.171.40 22:13, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hyperdrive modifications
I changed this sentence: The secret to her speed were Han and Chewie's modifications that "streamlined" the ship in hyperspace by controlling the warp of the space-time continuum around her. to credit "Doc" Vandangante. Han and Chewie went to the Corp Sector in ~2 BBY to get hyperdrive mods. Also got inproved sensors along others. -Fnlayson 05:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I would like to say that good navigation is an important part of Hyperdrive speed.I think because Chewie was a member of the Claatuvac navigator guild he maybe fed some of their secret routs into the falcons computers. 80.131.228.28 11:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Twice in RotS?
According to this article, "The Falcon (or possibly a standard Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300 stock light freighter caught up in the fighting) can also be seen in the opening battle sequence of Revenge of the Sith, flying to the rear of Anakin Skywalker's Jedi Interceptor at the point where the buzz-droid which attacks R2-D2 meets its demise". I assume the poster means this shot, but I can't see anything remotely resembling the Falcon there. Can anyone back this up? - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 19:43, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I can accept that the ship landing in the Senate building was the Falcon, but that one bracketed shot during the battle with Anakin's fighter in the foreground is definitely that of a Trade Federation battleship. - lalala_la
 * I think its just a Lucrehulk-class battleship or a Control Ship looked from the front. - Rezendi 20:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The RotS page says "When Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Palpatine arrive via shuttle to the Senate docks after crash landing on Coruscant, the Millennium Falcon can be seen landing on one of the lower platforms as the shuttle approaches." Anyone see this? Cutch 02:01, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Serenity
Aren't there a lot of fictional ships that are inspired by the Falcon? I don't think that Serenity deserves a mention to the extent that a picture is added. - lalala_la
 * I think the reason that Serenity gets a picture is because it was needed for another article. jSarek 23:15, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Significant crew
I'd be interested in seeing a list of the Falcon's significant crew members (I mean Leia's been Han's co-pilot for what, ten years?). We could include Vuffi Raa, who piloted during Lando's ownership, Bollux and Blue Max, and Airen Cracken who manned the Falcon's top turret during tne assault on Death Star II, as well as the wookiees who crewed during the Yuuzhan Vong War.Tocneppil 09:05, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that would be great idea - User:General Layton

Spoiler no more
Can the spoiler warning tag at the bottom be removed? "Tempest" has been out for months now. - Milo Fett [Comlink] 00:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point. It's gone now. -Fnlayson 00:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Possible Backround
There is a mention in the book Medstar:II Jedi healer, of a souped up YT-1300. It was mentioned by a agent of the Black Sun Crime syndicate as being able to run checkpoints of the Republic Medstar Frigate or the CIS pickets. This could possibly be the Falcon. The fact that it was modified by the Black Sun to run blockades and tariff points could also point to where it's military grade hyperdrive and engine modifications came from. Any thoughts on this? 147.138.81.129 18:43, 11 February 2007 (UTC)Dash2400
 * Probably just a nod. Unit 8311 08:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't notice this. Page number?

Forces of Corruption
The Kessel prison stuff in Forces of Corruption is before ANH, not after it. I've no idea where it fits in with the rest of the stuff though. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 01:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
