Star Wars: Millennium Falcon: Owners' Workshop Manual (Haynes Manual) Hardcover – November 27, 2018

Approaching the YT-1300 light freighter as a real-world vehicle, this book offers fun and amazing insights into the most famous ship in the galaxy! Highly recommended for any Star Wars fan, longtime and new. If you're wanting to know just how many iterations and modifications you can make to Han Solo's (and previously Lando Calrissian's) ship, this is the manual for you!

A fun used copy with all sorts of color design schematics and beautiful pictures of the famed Millennium Falcon.

This is a neato history book above all else. Awesome diagrams and descriptions.

Picked this up after seeing it advertised on gizmodo. As someone who cut his internet teeth on space battles and SDN in the late 90s/early 00s, I was always into the "way too detailed" stuff. The book represents a good technical introduction for nu-canon, and the inclusion of "old" canon, such as ships form KOTOR and "Shadows of the Empire" was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.I highly recommend it.

It came in especially handy when I needed to replace the hyperdrive motivator on my third-hand purchased YT-1300. ;) Love the illustrations and history of the ship. My only nerdy nitpick is the 'atmosphere speed' - wouldn't that depend on the atmosphere of a planet? Would it's maximum atmosphere speed be escape velocity? An enjoyable book that Star Wars fans will enjoy..

This book is an update to the 2011 Millennium Falcon Owner's Workshop Manual. The update reflects the new additions and changes to the Star Wars Canon reflected by the purchase of Lucasfilm by Disney in 2012 and the subsequent films to feature the Falcon particularly The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and Solo: A Star Wars Story. The three authors/illustrators from the original 2011 book returned to write and illustrate this refresh. In particular, the version of the Millennium Falcon from Solo with its streamlined cladding and blue paint flown by Lando is on the cover of the book itself.I do not own the 2011 version, so I cannot give an exact comparison to what has been added, retained and omitted between the two versions. Fortunately the text that made it into this book is a treasure trove of Star Wars references, from the XS freighter of the Old Republic, to the YT variants first described in the early Star Wars RPG games, and even a reference to a few Kenner toys. Page 20's depiction of a YT-1300 in freight pushing service with a long train of cargo containers in front of it is wonderfully geeky. The description of the different technical specifications of the Falcon across its appearances starting with its cameo in Revenge of the Sith up to The Last Jedi are all well explained and thought out. The tone of the book reminds me of the now defunct 'Essential Guide' series of books that explained aspects of the Star Wars: Legends lore and I hope to see more books like it now that the new canon is being more fully fleshed out.Sadly the publishing date of this book does mean that the changes to the ship seen in the theme park attractions at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and any information to its upcoming appearances in Rise of the Skywalker are not included. This is unfortunate, as I think the Smuggler's Run ride at Galaxy's Edge would have offered great content for this book in particular explaining the brief history of the Falcon in use by Hondo Onahka following the events of The Last Jedi.Unfortunately the reason I give this book four stars instead of a perfect five star review is due to some spelling and grammar errors that should have been caught by the editorial staff. Page 42 for example includes a grammar error that was meant to compare and contrast Han Solo and Lando's views on the Falcon "Like Lando... Unlike Lando..." but the word "Unlike" was used in place of the 'Like' creating a strange double negative. The next page (45) has a similar factual error stating the Falcon lost its sensor dish in "The Battle of Yavin" when in fact the text should have stated "The Battle of Endor." Fortunately these are small errors to fix, and hopefully any reprints of this book take the time and effort to fix these mistakes. But they are keeping this book from receiving the true five star rating it deserves.Despite those fact and grammar errors, I still recommend this book to Star Wars fans who want to imagine a world were they can pick up a YT-1300 of their own at the used spaceship dealer!

Hubby bought this for a Star Wars fan who is very hard to buy for. When he opened the gift, he was so excited to get something he had never seen before and didn't even know that he NEEDED.

Fun book that explains the Yt-1300 in great detail. If your a fan of the Millennium Falcon you'll like this.
