But they always have the same design aesthetics through thousands of years of evolution. A good example of just how long Star Wars ships can remain in operation are the Hammerhead corvettes in Rogue One (and Rebels). Although not strictly canon, the design derives from the Hammerhead cruisers in Knights of the Old…

Came to the comments for this, thank you.

Amen, or rather amen’s secular equivalent.

From all reports, Lando already owns the ship in this film. I wouldn’t be surprised if the gang recruits him because he has his own ride. :D

What would it take to convince you, if not the fact that the LEGO set says “Kessel Run Millennium Falcon” :P

It is confirmed that it’s the Falcon, yes. Not only that, but according to LEGO, it’s the “Kessel Run Falcon” - which further lends weight to the theory that the front section is a cargo pod.

You likely got that idea from a line of Kenner toys pitched in the mid-80's that never saw the light of day:

Unless that section between the mandibles is a cargo extender, which has been rumored. Perhaps when Han dumps the cargo of spice mentioned in Star Wars, this is the section that is jettisoned.

Well, you’re being boorish and pedantic about it, so I’d probably tell you to fuck off too, if I was them. Lighten up.

To be fair, no one except insane freeze-framing fanboys saw the Falcon in RotS. If it had any significant screen time, sure, I might agree with you. Frankly, this film’s version of the falcon makes more sense within established worldbuilding. Example, Y-wings during the Clone Wars, later stolen and repurposed by…

Han has made a bunch of modifications, those missile launchers (which weren’t added until the production of Return of the Jedi) are not standard equipment.

Yes, when they escape from the death star, the Falcon looks like it’s backing out of a driveway. :)

Gotta correct you there - it’s been a shithole since January 20th, 1981, when the Reagan administration opened the Pandora’s Box that made this moment in our country possible.

We don’t care if Pence is uncomfortable with gay people. We absolutely care when he leverages that discomfort to discriminate, oppress and/or endanger people who don’t conform to his narrow view of sexuality. That’s it, stop trying to spin this into “the left are a bunch of thought police” nonsense.

I was hoping Thandie Newton would be playing Sana Starros, but it appears she’s playing a character named “Val”

In the excellent, dearly-departed Dead Author’s Podcast, HG Wells (Paul F Tompkins) briefly discusses Little Wars with Gary Gygax (Chris Tallman):

Read up on Amazon’s effect on Seattle in just the past five years, and ask again whether the 20k professional jobs is worth the price. Context is everything.

It’s more than tax revenue and profit at stake. Amazon basically IS downtown Seattle now, which requires a ton of support services, housing and infrastructure to support. So skyrocketing housing values push those service people out of the city, and we’ve seen fuckall in terms of meaningful infrastructure improvements…
