In 'Star Wars', what is the name of Han Solo's starship?

The story behind the answer

In Star Wars, Han Solo’s starship is the Millennium Falcon. The distinctive saucer-shaped vessel is one of the most recognizable spacecraft in the franchise and is usually piloted by Han Solo with his Wookiee first mate, Chewbacca.

The Millennium Falcon is a heavily modified YT-1300 light freighter made by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. Its unusual appearance hides extraordinary speed and maneuverability, helping Han claim that it made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs—a line that refers to distance rather than time.

Before Han owned it, the ship belonged to Lando Calrissian, who lost it to Han in a game of sabacc. The vessel later becomes central to the Rebel Alliance’s fight against the Galactic Empire, taking part in missions including the destruction of the second Death Star.

Slave I belongs primarily to the bounty hunter Boba Fett, while an X-wing is a Rebel fighter and a TIE fighter is an Imperial craft. Those ships are associated with Star Wars, but none is Han Solo’s starship.
