My son spotted this. (starwars related)

My son is convinced the "millenium falcon" is in the latest starwars film, revenge of the sith. He showed me and it really looks like it is (or one very similar) the part in the film where chancellor is being delivered back from being kidnapped, theres a big panoramic scene as the shuttle lands on that big curved dome thingy. the millenium falcon, or a copy thereof, appears from the bottom of the screen and comes in to land. It only lasts a few seconds and its quite small, but it does look like it.

Well the millenium falcon was an old ship in the Harrison Ford movies like return of the jedi, so wouldn't that make sense ?

Edit: And probably mass made.

It's also a building in Blade Runner.

sad i know but i spotted it at the cinema

Treefrog · 22 Feb 2006 at 16:36

As Star Wars is set ~18 years after Revenge, going by Luke's age, it could well be the Falcon methinks.

Mind you, as Mellownats said, it was probably mass produced, a sort of interplanetary Merc Sprinter

ikillbears · 22 Feb 2006 at 16:37

yeah i noticed this when i watched it in the cinema , my mates wouldnt believe me. When the DVD came out , a few rewinds later , they believed me

Probably just another YT1300 Corellian transport, with the aim of making people go "oooh!"
[/cynic]

It's also in Star Trek: First Contact during a battle with the borg.

PsiFox · 22 Feb 2006 at 16:39

Not neccessarily the MF was a modified version of a Corellian Engineering Corp
YT 1300 freighter ( mass produced) / nerd

saitrix · 22 Feb 2006 at 16:39

Well you would, its a standard small cargo ship. It is a YT-1300 made by Corellian Engineering Corporation.
