He must have done A LOT of custom modifications. Wow that thing looks new, however it does look pretty awesome.
Its growing on me. It makes a lot of sense. Over the years, Han would have added tons and tons of modifications – and run all those lines and ducts OUTSIDE the ship. Why not? Space is a vacuum – its not going to hurt anything, and its going to be the most convenient way to modify the ship. It adds a layer of meaning to Han / Chewie at Hoth Base in Empire – Chewie didn’t understand what went where… even to him, it was a mess. I like it!

And here’s Falcon from pre clone wars:

Either that’s an attachment between the mandibles, or this movie will retcon this from the Prequels.
Agreed.
I’m guessing/hoping it’s an attachment. Even tho’ pics make it look quite permanent.
Prob hidden seams.
Having the role of Lucasfilm archivist must be one of the best jobs in the world.
No kidding. I’ve had a couple friends that have had the opportunity to tour their archives. I can only imagine….
It’s not even a real job. It’s a hobby that someone else is paying you to have.
You buried the lead! A REACTION TRAILER! I love those. 😛

Yay, the new falcon looks awesome, i like the additional cargo module.
From the 360 of the Falcon it seems to look like the ‘cargo pod’ between the forks is a consistent part of the structure rather than an addition to it. I can’t see any visible connections.
Maybe Han had to swap it out like a car bumper at the space scrappie for a similar model with a different trim.
It is very odd.
Indeed, it appears to be permanent/part of the structure.
Stranger still is that if this is permanent, Lando heavily modified the Falcon from it’s previous state.
See prequel movie shots.
Question:
Why did Lando ADD that structure to the front of the Falcon?
I saw ‘structure’, because you really don’t see seams, so it doesn’t appear to be a cargo pod. Looks permanent.
Heavily modified Falcon?
Canon demonstrates:
1) Falcon didn’t have that structure in pre-clone wars era
2) Other YT-1300 don’t have it

The seams could be really tight, or the seams could be covered with panels that fold over to keep a tight fit. It’s possible it’s an attachment that provides additional cargo space.

My imagination is running that this could be a plot point in the Kessel Run. During the race, Han spins the MF 180 degrees, unlocks the latches holding onto this extension, it’s jettisoned, they fire at this separated section — it contains a volatile material (maybe Kessel spice) that explodes generating a shockwave that pushes the MF to the lead in the race to the finish line.
Lando is upset that they lost all that valuable spice. The point of the race for them was to smuggle it through an Imperial blockade, under the pretense of competing.
Sounds plausible.
I’d been looking for seams in the 360 view but sure didn’t look like there were any.
The Star Wars Show has gotten much better than when it first started. But I’m really getting sick of reaction videos. They need to go the way of rick roll videos.
The front half looks like an Imperial Star Destroyer. Coincidence?
