More importantly as the story unfolds, we learn of the different names the Falcon had been called which include Corell's Pride, Fickle Flyer, Gone to Pieces, Hardwired, High Hopes, Meetyl's Misery, Second Chance, Stellar Envoy, and Wayward Son. We also learn about the different modifications the Falcon had done to her over the years, who put in the hologame table and why, how the various owners came to own and lose the Falcon, and the various roles the ship had, from smuggling runs to diplomatic missions to being part of a traveling circus at one point, and even learn the origin of the name Millennium Falcon.
The book can be seen as a filler book since it bridges the Legacy of the Force series and sets things in motion for the upcoming Fate of the Jedi series. But Luceno is a Star Wars novel veteran since Millennium Falcon is his eighth Star Wars novel, and he doesn’t disappoint. It’s a fun book that fills in the gaps of one of the silver screens most iconic vehicles and is a good read to boot.

This is a general question to everyone...
Is anyone else here pretty sick and tired of the whole "we have to keep Allana's father a secret!" thing? Was it really necessary? What did they think was going to happen if everyone found out Jacen Solo was Allana's father? Yes, the Hapan culture distrusts the Jedi and would have been after her the moment they found out, but to keep the secret for so long? I hated the idea of Jacen and Tenel Ka keeping that secret for so long...so much that I skipped some of the books to see if anyone would figure it out. I could understand the secret being keep when Allana was a baby, but at her age in Fury, I didn't see the point at all. And I just couldn't believe that Han, Leia and Luke were made to be so clueless, and only Mara Jade had a suspicion. I really hope in the next book after Millenium Falcon, her secret is blown. If anyone wants to discuss that, you can visit my site to email me.
Thanks....
