The craft was commanded by smuggler Han Solo and his Wookie friend Chewbacca who both become central to the rebel cause in the films. The fictional spaceship was around 35 metres long and armed with laser cannons and missiles.

The Millennium Falcon first appeared in Star Wars in 1977, and made a brief appearance in Star Wars Episode III in 2005. The ship also made a return in the latest installment, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
