#MILLUMIN CREATOR CODE#
In spring 1979, Marcon Fabrications, a heavy engineering firm that served the UK's petrochemical and oil industries, was hired to build a movable full-scale external model capable of "moving as if it were about to take off." Built in secrecy under the project code name Magic Roundabout, the company leased the 1930s Western Sunderland Flying Boat hangar in Pembroke Dock, West Wales. įor The Empire Strikes Back (1980), a new external set was constructed. For the 1997 "Special Edition", a digital model replaces the effects model in several shots, and is used in a new shot of the Falcon lifting off from Docking Bay 94.

The ship was represented by a matte painting when Princess Leia ( Carrie Fisher) sees it for the first time, showing the full upper surface. The primary model was five feet long and detailed with various kit parts. The effects models for Star Wars matched the design of the exterior set. Several inconsistencies exist between the internal set and the external set, the cockpit access tunnel angle being the most noticeable. The cockpit was constructed as a separate set that could be rocked when the ship was supposed to shake. The interior set included the starboard ring corridor, the boarding ramp, cockpit access tunnel, gun turret ladder, secret compartments, and the forward hold. Besides the functional landing gear, an additional support held up the structure and was disguised as a fuel line. For Star Wars, a partial exterior set was constructed and the set dressed as Mos Eisley's Docking Bay 94 and the Death Star hangar. Visually, the Millennium Falcon was represented by several models and external and internal sets. Harrison Ford and Peter Mayhew in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon during the making of a scene from the Star Wars Holiday Special 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. The ship 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). Solo: A Star Wars Story depicts the YT-1300 Corellian light freighter being embodied by the droid 元-37 ( Phoebe Waller-Bridge).

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).
