The Millennium Falcon has been instrumental in the Alliance's eventual victory over the Empire and figures into more prominent events in the Galactic Civil War than any other starship. The Falcon is owned by Han Solo, the notorious smuggler-turned-Rebel. Han and his Wookiee copilot Chewbacca have had many adventures (and misadventures) while working aboard the Falcon. Before he lost her to Han in a Sabacc game, Lando Calrissian owned and flew the Falcon, and before then, she served as a legal trading ship, warship, and (legends say) even as a special Jedi task ship.
