She may not look like much, but shes got it where it counts, kid.
Ive made a lot of special modifications myself.
But once upon a time a long time ago the Corellian freighter did look pretty fine.

So what are these special modifications?
But storywise, theres something odd about the Falcon.
Like a living thing.

And those differences tend to reflect its current occupant.
So Donald Glovers Lando uses it not just to ferry goods, but as a floating party vessel.
Maybe Han has his reasons for that.
A kind of galactic camouflage.
Its safer in the galaxy to fly something that looks like a piece of junk.
People underestimate you especially if youre up to no good, the actor tells EW.
Kinda like how youre more likely to get pulled over if youre driving a Lamborghini.
Han may also be having it travel down more dangerous paths than Lando ever did.
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.
As for that different silhouette, and why it has the more tapered nose instead of the forked mandibles…
It would be a spoiler to reveal exactly how that happens.
But those claiming the different appearance violatesStar Warscanon are mistaken.
Well see what becomes of that as the May 25 film unfolds.
Any fan who has ever owned aStar Warstoy knows this simple fact: pieces get lost.
The Falcon weve known all this time is far from mint in the box.
Whats more interesting is how the Falcon will continue to evolve in the future.
Remember, when the Falcon enters our movie, its already had a long life.
And its been modified even from its original design, says Jon Kasdan.
Theres one more correlation to real life.
If youve ever owned a new car, you know the anxiety that precedes its first dent or scratch.
After that, it’s possible for you to relax.
