Star Wars Vintage Millenium Falcon

To encourage your young or old one's interest in Star Wars, why not browse through some of the available Star Wars fabric? My wife has recently been on a crafty kick, and she's gone to work on some theme elements. My "play" room now features a brand spanking new pair of Star Wars curtains (and a Pez blanket :) ). Thanks for stopping by our vintage Star Wars toys blog.

Han Solo won the Falcon from Lando Calrissian in a game of sabacc. In Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker charter the ship to deliver them and the stolen Death Star plans to Alderaan.

The Falcon is often connected to the Kessel Run, a pathway from Kessel past the Maw Black Hole Cluster used by smugglers to transport precious Glitterstim spice. Solo brags that the Falcon made the Kessel Run in "less than twelve parsecs," referring to his ability to move the ship closer to the Maw's black holes and therefore cut the distance traveled.
