The Millennium Falcon is a spaceship in the Star Wars universe commanded by smuggler Han Solo and his Wookiee First Mate, Chewbacca. The highly modified Corellian ship, a YT-1300 light freighter, first appears in Star Wars (1977), and subsequently in The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Return of the Jedi (1983) and The Force Awakens (2015), with a brief cameo appearance in Revenge of the Sith (2005). Since, the iconic ship has appeared in all subsequent Star War films.
