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 was snapped off during the Battle of Endor, and Solo had to replace it with rectangular civilian model,[3]but that one snapped off too during the Battle of Crait.[4]
