It has been noted that the cockpit with its greenhouse-style window was likely inspired by the cockpit of the American B-29 Superfortress. To this, sound designer Ben Burtt added the hum of the cooling fans on the motion-control rig at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). The sound of the ship traveling through hyperspace comes from two tracks of the engine noise of a McDonnell Douglas DC-9, with one track slightly out of synchronization with the other to introduce a phasing effect. Johnston called production of the new Falcon design one of his most intense projects.
The design was simple enough to create in the four-week window. It was also said that the shape of the ship was roughly based on a hamburger with an olive-on-the-side cockpit. Johnston did not want to produce a "basic flying saucer", so he created the offset cockpit, forward cargo mandibles, and rear slot for the engines. Modelmaker Joe Johnston had about four weeks to redesign the Falcon, and Lucas' only suggestion to Johnston was to "think of a flying saucer". The original model was modified, re-scaled, and used as Princess Leia's ship, Tantive IV. The ship originally had a more elongated appearance, but this design's similarity to the Eagle Transporters in Space: 1999 prompted Lucas to change the Falcon 's design. Described as being one of the fastest vessels in the Star Wars canon, the Falcon looks worn-out but despite its humble origins and shabby exterior, the Millennium Falcon has played a critical role in some of the greatest victories of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic. Solo: A Star Wars Story depicts the ship as being co-piloted by, and later integrated with, Calrissian's droid 元-37 ( Phoebe Waller-Bridge).
The ship, a YT-1300 Corellian light freighter, is primarily commanded by smuggler Han Solo ( Harrison Ford and Alden Ehrenreich) and his Wookiee first mate, Chewbacca ( Peter Mayhew and Joonas Suotamo), and was previously owned by gambler/con-artist Lando Calrissian ( Billy Dee Williams and Donald Glover). It also appears in the 2014 animated film The Lego Movie in Lego form. Additionally, the Falcon appears in a variety of Star Wars spin-off works, including books, comics, and games James Luceno's novel Millennium Falcon focuses on the titular ship. Designed by Joe Johnston for the movie Star Wars (1977), it has subsequently appeared in The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Return of the Jedi (1983), The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019). The Millennium Falcon is a fictional starship in the Star Wars franchise. 6-30 passengers (modular configuration).
