In addition to its overblown drive system, the Falcon features an enhanced weapons array, including ventral and dorsal quad laser cannons, a small antipersonnel blaster, and a rack of concussion missiles. Through Solo's clever tweaking - not to mention filling the engine compartment to overflowing by applying a hyperdrive twice the size of the stock spec - the Falcon became known as one of the fastest smugglers in the galaxy. The two most recent are Lando Calrissian and Han Solo. Heavily modified since its emergence from the shipyards, the Falcon has served as a steed for a number of smuggler captains. Han Solo's battered old YT-1300 freighter is certainly one of the series' biggest hardware stars. Image 25: Detailing along the mandible, forward of the cockpit.

The display has since begun touring the country and around the world, with props and macquettes from each new film being added.Ī special thanks goes out to Mark Dickson, Jim Berteges, David Ferrell, Bob Keyes, Mark Bolden, Jacques Duquette, Richard Moore, Ken Rice, Mick Selas and Murray Swift for their additional contributions to this gallery. Naturally we had cameras in tow, and the results are displayed here. This outstanding display allowed the public (and Starship Modeler) to get a good, close look at the ship models from this landmark series. Starting in 1997 and running through all of '98, the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, in Washington, DC, held an exhibit of the models, props, and costumes used in the creation of George Lucas' first Star Wars® film trilogy (episodes 4 thru 6).
