Ultimate Millenium Falcon Lego Set

August 6, 2008

The Millennium Falcon is indeed a ship with a legendary reputation in the Star Wars collectibles world. The Falcon is very deserving of this reputation despite its meager origins and dilapidated exterior appearance. In spite of this, the Millennium Falcon has played a large part in some major victories over the Galactic Empire and most famously is known for saving the day and providing air cover for Luke when the rebel forces took out the Deathstar.

At first glance, the Millenium Falcon looks like your ordinary run of the mill Corellian freighter, with the trademarked saucer shaped hull and a cylindrical shaped cockpit mounted on one side. Beneath this seemingly benign exterior, the Millenium Falcon was hiding a lot of secrets. A number of modifications have been made making the Millenium Falcon much faster with stronger shielding power and upgraded weaponry. The interior of the Falcon also holds its share of surprises such as concealed smuggling compartments custom made for the Millenium Falcon's purpose built mission as a smuggler ship.
