Why Millennium Falcon matters to collectors
Before 1977, film spaceships were clean. The Falcon was dirty, asymmetric and clearly repaired by hand, and everything from Alien to Firefly followed. It is also the ship that sells: a vehicle with an interior, a silhouette a child can draw, and a place in the story that makes it a character rather than a prop.
Key issues and milestones
- Kenner Millennium Falcon vehicle (1979) - The big-box centrepiece of the vintage line, with a working chess table and a smuggling compartment.
- The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - The asteroid field sequence, which is the Falcon at its best and the hyperdrive at its worst.
- Lego Ultimate Collector Series 10179 (2007) - The first UCS Falcon, over five thousand pieces, and the set that started Lego's adult-collector arms race.
- Lego 75192 (2017) - The second UCS Falcon, 7,541 pieces, one of the largest Lego sets ever produced.
The design was a late change. The original ship was long and tubular, and when it looked too much like the Eagle from Space: 1999, that hull was reworked into Princess Leia's Tantive IV and the Falcon was redesigned from scratch.
Collecting Millennium Falcon through the years
The Falcon supports more parallel collecting categories than any other Star Wars object. There is the 1979 Kenner vehicle, which is common loose and scarce boxed with all its small parts intact. There is the Lego side, where the two UCS sets are the reference points for the whole adult-builder category. There are studio-scale model kits, a specialist corner of the hobby where builders spend years matching the original filming miniature's surface detail. And there are the miniatures themselves, built at ILM for the original films, which sit in archives and exhibitions rather than the open market.
