10 Things You Didn't Know About The Millennium Falcon

10. It's Alive

Star Wars 'Legends' canon includes all the books, comics and other media created outside the continuity of the movie series, safely compartmentalised away from the cinematic canon by decree of Disney so its insanity can bubble away without compromising the future film series. According to Legends, the Millennium Falcon is alive, and leaped off its production line like an animal trying to break its leash.

Even outside the murky world of Star Wars Legends, the movies hint at the Falcon having a personality of its own. Quite apart from playfully breaking down at the worst possible moment, the Falcon can also talk, at least to other machines.

One of the reasons Han keeps C-3PO around is that the fussy golden jerk can communicate with the Falcon and ask it what's wrong with it this time. In The Empire Strikes Back, C-3PO mentions the Falcon has a 'most peculiar' dialect, which hopefully means its language was as salty as a pregnant drill sergeant.
