With the new Han Solo movie coming out this summer, there’s a lot of speculation on what the Millennium Falcon will look like for this prequel. There has been a leaked photo showing the Falcon in Blue and White livery, a flatter dish and no mandibles.
I’ll wait to see the movie before I make any final judgement, as this version may still capture my imagination. However my first impression is that it’s too far removed from the Falcon has we saw her in Lucas’s original trilogy, (My trilogy). I’m not a fan, so I doubt if I will collect this version unless there is something new or spectacular to add to my collection.
I am rather hoping that we’ll see her transformed into something we recognise throughout the course of the movie.
Negativity aside, Lego are releasing a set of the new Han Solo Millennium Falcon this April. Rather interestingly, this set’s called the Kessel Run, so it looks like we’ll be witnessing this famous chapter of our favourite Smugglers history.
I may get one of these, If only because Lego is just so awesome.
