How did the Millennium Falcon get its name? :scatch:
Are their falcons in space? In England they call them buzzards :right:

Disney to make new 'Star Wars' films
- Thread starter Wolf
- Start date
"Millennium" is the make and "Falcon" is the model. Like a Ford Festiva. The marketing team at Millennium spent months market testing names before they settled on "Falcon". They don't have falcons in space per se, but they have falcons on planets and they have planets in space, just like we do.
Solo is a bit of a hipster douchebag, ironically referring to his Millennium Falcon as "the" Millennium Falcon and acting like people should be impressed.
Ford used to have a Falcon. Maybe in a thousand years they can change the name from Ford to Millennium :idea: 
In the Hoth system Falcon means Ton Ton fart. That's a literal translation. Millennium never sold any Falcons in the Hoth system.....

Millennium Falcon can do the Kessel run in 9 parsecs, bet a Festiva can't do that, not even yours.
The Kessel Run is 9 parsecs long, so a Ford Festiva would also do it in 9 parsecs. Solo's boast is just more hipster gibberish.
Traveling in space the normal rules of distances and speed don't apply. With the advanced computer and navigation systems on the Falcon made it possible for him to navigate a shorter course closer to the black holes. Space travel is all about navigating obstacles and traveling though the 4th dimension and I doubt your Festiva has the navigation system that can navigate at 10X the speed of light or in the 4th dimension.

Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
That's surprising, because you need a few months lead time to gin up toy demand for Christmas.
You don't have to wait for the film. Boba Fett toys were out a year before "Empire Strikes Back".
