The Millennium Falcon Owner's Manual

Product Description

The Millennium Falcon is a legendary spaceship, made famous by its adventures under the command of smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca, who made numerous special modifications to transform the beat-up Corellian light freighter into one of the fastest ships in the galaxy.
 
This Haynes Manual traces the model history of the Corellian Engineering Corporation’s YT series of spaceships and the development of the YT-1300 model line before focusing on the Millennium Falcon, itself a modified YT-1300. Onboard systems, controls, and their operation are described in detail and supported by a host of photographs, line art, floor plans, exploded diagrams, and stunning computer-generated artwork, all newly created by acknowledged Falcon experts Chris Reiff and Chris Trevas. Text is by Ryder Windham, author of more than fifty Star Wars books.
 
Covering operational history, piloting, propulsion, weapons, engineering systems, sensors, and crew facilities, this is the most thorough technical guide to the Millennium Falcon available.
 
This Haynes Manual is fully authorized and approved by Lucasfilm.

This "manual" is a lie. I bought it hoping to figure out some problems with some fluidic converters the previous owner installed and was non-plussed.

Replacement procedures were not the same as removal. Once I replaced my ventral shield generator I stated noticing flucuations in Medvedov radiation readings. All suggested fixes were not supported by CEC.

Funny concept- poor execution. Just print the cover image and stick it on your actual car's repair m

Not as funny as I thought it would be. Has a lot of filler content outlining the history of the people who flew it. Han, Chewie, and Lando Calrissian all get full-page photos with text about their adventures & backstory. Bought it for my husband who's restoring our Van and spending a lot of time reading actual repair manuals. It could have been WAY more funny if this had kept up the fiction of being an actual tear-down-and-rebuilt repair manual for a YT-1300 freighter, with all kinds of details about how to repair a hyperdrive motivator, for example, he would have LOVED it. Of course, that would have been a LOT more work to put together, and probably appealed to a much narrower audience, so I can understand why they took the easy way out. Worth a laugh just for the cover. The book itself is a slog.

The definitive Falcon reference
by SRFireside (5 out of 5 stars)

We have seen lots of technical information on the Millennium Falcon over the years. Starting with the Starlog Technical Manuals to entries in the Essential Guides and Vehicle Cross Section books to even a 3D layered book. All of these were great entries and held lots of cool information. However Haynes has made the best of the best among all of them.

Just about everything that mentioned in the other books is all here along with lots more. It reads like a product catalog for this Corellan light freighter along with the other models. So not only do you get detailed specs on our beloved cruiser you also get some details on several Falcon-like variations like cockpit placement, engine types, cargo capacities and other unexpected "options". But the meat of the book is all Falcon. This is not a repair manual in the sense that people are used when seeing Hayne's on the cover. None of Hayne's sci-fi books are. It is a detailed set of specifications though, and really that should be enough.

Every system, function, feature, and modification is specified on this manual. You get to read about the standard parts as well as the ones tricked out by Solo and previous owners. You get specifics on navigation and maneuvering, weapons systems, guidance and sensor systems, defensive shielding, cargo capacity, support systems, available factory options (you can get a mini-fighter launched from one of the access hatches) and more. There is enough here for you to even imagine what you own Corellan freighter would be like.

As I stated earlier this book pretty much trumps every other technical entry previously published. You think you have some awesome stuff already? You probably do, but with this book has more. Guaranteed. If you absolutely love the Millennium Falcon and would absolutely love all the info you can gather this book is it. Unlike other Star Wars books that seem to be constantly updated with new stuff (thus making new editions to buy) I would be hard pressed to conceive how much more can be done than this book... unless somebody makes a real repair manual.

A must have for true SW fans.

Outstanding reference book for Star Wars fans. Very imaginative creation of a historical narative for the SW universe, and this ship design.

Gives a rehash of the essential characters, and how they relate with the ship.

Don't think in terms of a "Haynes Repair/Service Manual", that is just silly. It's a basic fan reference book. A must have for true SW fans.

A Good Reference Book
by (¬"¿Â¬) (4 out of 5 stars)

Let me preface this by saying, I have no clue what a Haynes Manual is. I assume it's a repair manual. However, I will not be reviewing this "Millennium Falcon Owner's Workshop Manual" as a repair manual but as a reference book. Of that, it does a good job.

The manual details the history and variations of the YT designs, especially the most famous of all YT's, the Millennium Falcon. We get to see photos of all sides of the Falcon, floor plans, some of Han's modifications. It also includes a buying guide, with photos and illustrations of the facilities, the navigation and defense systems, the cockpit, together with scenes out of the movies.

The history of the Falcon itself includes short biographies of Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, and Chewbacca. What would have made this book perfect is to see a history of the ship beyond "Return of the Jedi," but the author says this was done so fans can enjoy the book without spoilers. Overall, it's a good reference book for Star Wars fans young and old.

Fun reading, incredible amount of fictious info regarding history of Correlian engineering and the fiction of all the YT-1300 systems. The detail that's gone into, side notes of other individuals you never knew existed in the Star Wars universe, is over the top, the writers went above and beyond. It reads like it's factual

A must for any Star Wars fan and a absolute requirement for millennium falcon lovers

I have several Haynes Manuals for my other vehicles (04 Corvette, 83 280ZX, 90 Toyota 4x4, 03 Ford F250 6.0l diesel and 06 Honda Civic) and this one is filled with everything required to keep your Falcon in tip-top running order. I am very impressed with the format and detailed content. I've already added the other Haynes Manuals for several other cool "out of this world" vehicles to my wish list!

I Laughed, I Cried

This is a Haynes Workshop Manual for the (fictitious) Millennium Falcon. It's a bit outlandish to be obliged to fill out boilerplate ratings about the plot, mood, pace and characters of a tongue-in-cheek repair manual. Sometimes, one size doesn't fit all. I wonder if the same rating format is now applied by Amazon for other real reference material, e.g., woodworking, gardening, dictionaries, numismatics. . . .

Wonderful book. Now that the Falcon resides at Disney in California, it would be great to have a walk-through video with this book in mind. Love the book and all things Falcon.
