A round rectenna on the Millennium Falcon

A rectenna (short for rectifying antenna),[1] or radar dish,[2] was a type of sensor installed on a starship that had the ability to both detect and target hostile crafts.

The Millennium Falcon, a modified YT-1300 light freighter owned by Han Solo, was equipped with a round military-grade rectenna at the time of the Galactic Civil War. However, the dish snapped off during the Battle of Endor, and Solo had to replace it with a rectangular civilian model,[3] but that one snapped off too during the Battle of Crait.[4] After the Battle of Crait the civilian model rectenna was replaced with a military-grade rectenna.
