These haiku are based
on “Millennium Falcon”
by James Luceno

Haiku Addendum:
obviously I’m kidding
so let’s begin here…

---

The “Falcon” is the
single most important ship
in all of Star Wars.

If you don’t agree,
well, that is perfectly fine.
Except, you are wrong.

---

Make: Corellian
YT-1300f
And sort of trashy.

---

Cockpit on the right…
…so how the hell does Solo
see ships to his left?

Haiku Addendum:
the cockpit placement seems like
a big design flaw.

---

A really fast ship:
it makes point five past light speed…
…whatever that means.

---

Easter Egg Alert!?!?!
Y’all see the “Falcon” over
Jedha in Rogue One!?!?!?!

---

“What a piece of junk.”
Luke insults Solo’s baby.
Han just doesn’t care.

---

A really fast ship:
It made the Kessel Run in
less than twelve parsecs.

Point of inquiry:
wasn’t it fourteen parsecs?
Someone go ask Rey.

---

Han’s best maneuver:
list lazily to the left.
Family Guy joke.

---

“You came in that thing,”
the Princess asks the Captain.
“Braver than I thought.”

---

Dorsal and Ventral.
Quad laser cannons blast TIEs.
Luke gets one; Han too.

---

Last ship to arrive
at the Battle of Yavin.
A Death Star Destroyed.

---

Inside Echo Base
Chewie and Han make repairs…
…a lot of repairs.

---

Tool: hydrospanner
Use: fixing broken “Falcons”
A space screw driver.

---

On the Avenger,
the “Falcon” hides in plain sight,
which is sort of odd.

Point of Inquiry:
how come no TIE pilots saw
the “Falcon” parked there?

---

On Cloud City we
learn that Calrissian used
to own the “Falcon.”

---

We never see Han
piloting his prized “Falcon”
in Episode VI.

---

A really fast ship:
Solo offers his baby
to Calrissian.

---

“She won’t get a scratch.”
“I got your word…not a scratch.”
She, ah, gets a scratch…

---

First ship to arrive
at the Battle of Endor.
A Death Star Destroyed.

---

Leading Endor charge.
The Millennium Falcon
blasts TIEs left and right.

---

The Endor gunners –
Two Rebels: Cracken and Blount
They deserve praise, too.

---

Lando and Nien Nunb
pilot the “Falcon” into
the Second Death Star.

---

Sub-light: Girodyne
Hyperdrive: An Isu-Sim
Power Core: Quadex

---

“The garbage will do,”
Rey says to Finn as they flee
First Order Fighters.

---

Stolen by Ducain,
then the Irving Boys, then Plutt,
then by Rey, then Han.

---

Stress on hyperdrive.
Ignition line compression.
Some moof-milker’s fault.

---

Now that Han is dead,
who technically owns his ship?
Leia? Chewie? Rey?

Haiku Addendum:
did Solo have a space will?
Maybe Ben gets it…
