According to online documentation.... of something that doesn't really exist, the cargo bay takes up about 1/4 of the vessel. Not much of a cargo freighter, more like a pickup with a LS7.

Cowboy's ship in Battle Beyond the Stars was a far more practical freighter.

you did actually. The area where Chewbacca and R2D2 are playing that chess like monster game.. that is part of the freight area.
I always imagined it more in line with a moonshiner car, especially considering that he was a smuggler.
A tube framed Belvedere with a really hot engine and a completely redone suspension.
I get what you guys are saying but to me GRMers are people who can take a whole pile of parts that maybe or maybe not go together and make a functional, fun vehicle that usually does things it wasn't originally intended to do. If I remember correctly, Anakin built his from parts from Watto's junkyard, that's what my meaning was.

If you're going to complain about realism in Star Wars, the cargo fraction of the Millennium Falcon is waaaaaaaaay down the list. :)

I think the dice are a tip of the Stetson to American Grafitti.
Falfa had a skull hanging from his mirror. Steve's '58 Chevy had the dice.

I'm both a Star Wars and Star Trek fan. I know too much about both for my own good.

you can get more stuff in a big square box, but could you imagine trying to fly the Borg cube in an atmosphere or into the core of the second Death Star?
it's also a "light stock freighter" or was... it also had a cargo capacity of 100 tons.. or about 2 1/2 tractor Trailers
