Mini-fighter

The mini-fighter was a small spacecraft carried aboard the Millennium Falcon within a hidden compartment near the freighter's port docking ring. The mini-fighter was large enough to accomodate an adult male Wookiee and featured twin mandibles. It was equipped with two blaster cannons and an unknown quantity of concussion missiles.

Behind the scenes
"It was always there; you just never saw it in the films."

- Mark Boudreaux, discussing the mini-fighter

The designers of the Hasbro Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon included the mini-fighter with the Falcon because they believed that the Falcon's size and bulk relegated the Falcon to the role of a playset rather than a vehicle. They felt that, in the words of designer Mark Boudreaux, "There had to be some way to fly some part of the Falcon around".
