Meh. In my head canon the Millennium Falcon was already 100 years old when Han got hold of it.
I'm disappointed.

Me too. I've always just thought it had already changed hands countless times before reaching han
Agreed. Like acquiring a '63 Chevy today.

You guys keep forgetting Lando owns it first. In this film it's Lando's. The Falcon could be old but Lando woukd have it looking pristine.
The Falcon absolutely should have been a POS by the time Han got it. It's just a matter of story if nothing else. There's a major underdog element that the ship is supposed to have. It fit with Han himself. It can't be a castoff & rehabbed sort of thing if Han had when it was nice.
It's also a natural parallel of the hot-rod guys in earth. The ones who leave a car rough are the ones who got it already rough. Guys who had it when it was new & shiny are usually trying to keep it nice. The guys who are keeping one car nice are probably racing/working with another one - more of a beater. Like the Falcon was.
To repeat something I've had to say waaaay too many times since 2014, Disney isn't doing this. Lucasfilm is a wholly-owned subsidiary just like Marvel Studios. Disney is basically bankrolling them both to do their own thing, and being largely hands-off. I haven't seen anyone griping about how Disney is ruining the Marvel super-heroes or milking it for all it's worth. I see people critiquing Marvel, though. Which is appropriate, as they're the ones actually writing and making their movies. Not Disney. Ditto Lucasfilm and Star Wars. Disney isn't doing it. Quit laying praise or complaints for the new Star Wars offerings on Disney.

KK is Disney. If you don't think KK is steering the Star Wars ship, you crazy.
