Millennium Falcon is the complete, unabridged audiobook rendition of James Luceno's 2008 Star Wars Legends book, which shares the same title. Marc Thompson narrated the audiobook, which Random House Audio published on October 21, 2008, both as a downloadable audiobook and as a collection of eight CDs. Kevin Thomsen directed the production, and Dan Zitt served as the executive producer.
It has been two years since Jacen Solo, who was allured by the dark side and reborn as the cruel Sith Lord Darth Caedus, met his end at the hands of his twin sister Jaina, the Sword of the Jedi. Han and Leia are still grieving, and the shadow of their son's awful fall from grace remains. However, Jacen's own daughter, Allana, who is bright and loving, brings a glimmer of hope for the future as she flourishes under the care of her grandparents. The energetic, inquisitive, and Force-sensitive girl makes an intriguing discovery on her grandfather's cherished starship—the extensively modified, yet always reliable, Millennium Falcon. The Solo family is about to embark on an adventure into uncharted territory, filled with countless dangers, but also the promise of unexpected rewards, marking a new turning point in their lives.
Han knows every nut, bolt, and sensor of the Falcon as if they were extensions of himself. Therefore, the bizarre device Allana shows him is completely foreign. Yet, its perplexing presence—and Allana's contagious eagerness to solve its mystery—cannot be ignored. The only way to find answers is to delve into the past, embarking on a fact-finding mission to retrace the people, locations, and events that make up the storied history of the ship that has accomplished everything from completing the Kessel Run "in less than twelve parsecs" to aiding in the downfall of an evil Empire.
From the very moment the Falcon broke free from a Corellian production line, it behaved like a wild creature with its own agenda, seemingly destined to find trouble. It didn't take long for the spirited YT-1300 light freighter to transition from transporting cargo to smuggling illegal goods. However, it's a pivotal meeting on Coruscant, during the volatile height of the Republic/Separatist conflict, that ignites a galaxy-spanning game of cat and mouse, with Han, Leia, Allana, and C-3PO as the newest players. And they are not the only ones involved: Crime bosses, galactic pirates, corrupt politicians, and treasure seekers all emerge at every stage of the journey—each with their own desperate interest in the Millennium Falcon's most important mission.
Over the years and across the galaxy, from the Rim Worlds to distant locations, the pursuit will lead everyone to a final showdown for a prize that some are willing to risk everything to obtain—and will pay any price to possess.
