Johnston called production of the new Falcon design one of his most intense projects. The design was simple enough to create in the four-week window. It was also said that the shape of the ship was roughly based on a hamburger with an olive-on-the-side cockpit. Johnston did not want to produce a "basic flying saucer", so he created the offset cockpit, forward cargo mandibles, and rear slot for the engines. Modelmaker Joe Johnston had about four weeks to redesign the Falcon, and Lucas' only suggestion to Johnston was to "think of a flying saucer". The original model was modified, re-scaled, and used as Princess Leia's ship, Tantive IV. The ship originally had a more elongated appearance, but this design's similarity to the Eagle Transporters in Space: 1999 prompted Lucas to change the Falcon 's design. Described as being one of the fastest vessels in the Star Wars canon, the Falcon looks worn-out but despite its humble origins and shabby exterior, the Millennium Falcon has played a critical role in some of the greatest victories of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic. Solo: A Star Wars Story depicts the ship as being co-piloted by, and later integrated with, Calrissian's droid 元-37 ( Phoebe Waller-Bridge). The ship, a YT-1300 Corellian light freighter, is primarily commanded by smuggler Han Solo ( Harrison Ford and Alden Ehrenreich) and his Wookiee first mate, Chewbacca ( Peter Mayhew and Joonas Suotamo), and was previously owned by gambler/con-artist Lando Calrissian ( Billy Dee Williams and Donald Glover).
