Seemingly intended to mark a change in the Star Wars formula, unrelated to the original trilogy, Disney got cold feet - revealing that Rey is Palpatine’s granddaughter and, in a widely derided scene, takes the name “Skywalker” for no discernible reason, prompting accusations that it was no more than an injection of nostalgia that means very little in the context of the narrative at hand.Lego have gotten closer to the perfect playscale Millennium Falcon, but they're not there yet, so here is my effort at improving last year's The Rise of Skywalker Falcon. Played by Daisy Ridley in the sequel trilogy, Rey was controversial among the fanbase with many unable to empathize with Ridley’s performance beyond The Force Awakens. After Han’s death, the Falcon’s ownership is a little hazy - though Chewbacca generally continued as its pilot - until Rey is seen flying alone at the end of Rise of Skywalker. Initially mistaking Rey, Finn, and BB-8 as common thieves, Han and Chewie quickly discover that they are part of the Resistance and agree to assist them in their quest to bring a map that would reveal Luke Skywalker’s location (stored within BB-8) to Leia and co. Rey, an orphan and scavenger, stole the Millennium Falcon from Unkar Plutt in order to escape a First Order attack - later crossing paths with Han and Chewbacca as they re-capture the Falcon. After a collision, the Envoy was badly damaged but was later repaired - coming into the possession of its first notable owner. During the Clone Wars, its ownership changed hands and the ship was christened the Stellar Envoy by members of the Republic Group, becoming a military vehicle for the first time in its long history. In-universe, the Millennium Falcon was a YT-1300f light freighter ship and can briefly be seen performing its early duties in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Related: How and Why The Millennium Falcon Keeps Changing So Much The Millennium Falcon has, thus far, appeared in eight feature films, along with countless appearances in various spin-off materials, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more recognizable spaceship in all of fiction. Add to that backstory an ongoing narrative, and the Falcon’s history is as rich as any living character in the Star Wars universe.
While Solo tends to be seen as the Falcon’s de-facto owner, the ship’s evident wear-and-tear suggested years of prior service pointing to a larger backstory that would later be explained in minute detail by every Tom, Dick, and Harry to get their hands on the sprawling franchise.
