Fantasy Flight Makes the Kessel Run in 12 Parsecs
January 4, 2013 by dracs
One of the great icons of the Star Wars franchise is making its appearance in Fantasy Flight's X-Wing. The one, the only, the Millennium Falcon!
It took part in the destruction of the Death Star, it hid from the Empire in the gullet of an asteroid bound space worm, it did the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, and now it is coming to your tabletop!
This expansion pack brings you new cards to help faithfully recreate this great star ship which has inspired so many others. As Fantasy Flight themselves have said "more than one YT-1300 light freighter exists in the Star Wars galaxy, but there’s only one Millennium Falcon." To represent this you will get this upgrade card.
Attached to a YT-1300, this represents the various upgrades the Millenium Falcon has been given and provides the ship with the evade action. Yes, you can now shake off your pursuers by turning left just like in the film.
To make the ship even more effective you will also get a number of other upgrades, ranging from your shields to those vital crew members.
... Awesome.
Whether your a Rebel or an Imperial, this is one ship you will want to add to your collection. Though of course only Rebels will get to make use of it.
Do you guys think this miniature lives up to the legend?

Got x-wing for x-mas and love it. Simple play with easy options for adding extra complexity.
Wings of war but with added force…
Gonna pre-order this and upcoming Slave-1
Theres not a man alive who wont want this.
I was so close. Made it to the last round in the Kessel Run event, and I had him on the ropes. All I had to do was destroy one more A-Wing and I would win by points, but he was able to run away from my interceptors for just enough turns to get to the end of the round timer. Still, walked away with Slave-1 with is pretty decent. Really wanted that YT-3000 though.
Does anyone know the size of the Falcon? From the size of the photo, I guess it is not to scale. A pity, as a huge Falcon, as relates to X-Wings or Tie Fighters, would have been more impressive.
It is to scale. The base it’s on is about 3 and 3/8 inches square, and the model itself overlaps the base more than the above photo would seem to indicate. Slave-1 is noticeably smaller, not really overlapping its base at all.
Also, the little radar dish is articulated, which is the thing that surprised us most when we opened up the packaging. It’s not much, but it’s a nice touch.
