The Millennium Falcon was made by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. It was originally a YT-1300 Light Freighter, but then it was subsequently modified by smugglers. At that time, it was known as the Stellar Envoy. Then after going through a few owners and being crashed, Han Solo won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian in a card game. For Solo and his Wookiee copilot, Chewbacca, it was the perfect ship for their smuggling exploits through the galaxy. However, it wasn’t long before they got themselves involved in the battle of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
