Whoever thought up the idea for this book was a genius! And James Luceno was a genius for writing it the way he did. The story makes Han, Leia and Allana’s quest to discover the origins of the Falcon relevant to both the Star Wars canon and the lives of the book’s main characters, in addition to being a fun and incredibly engaging adventure. It also portrays the Falcon as more than just a ship. The interludes, which take the time about Han’s thoughts of the Falcon at different points in time, are well-timed, insightful, and very intriguing. They help us to understand why the Falcon is so important to Han. And it makes a smooth, genuine effort to address the weight of recent events instead of pretending that they didn’t happen, allowing Han, Leia, and Alana the chance to heal. And at the same time, it sets up for the next chapter in Legends history. My one complaint is a very minor one; switching writing styles after the Legacy of the Force was a bit of an adjustment. I give this book a ten out of ten for being the book that fans wanted, but still amazing.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, however I did not get around to finishing it. The story does not flow as easily as other books by the same author, but it did offer interesting insight into the origin of the Falcon. A good read if you are wanting some backstory, but a little too jumbled to hold my interest.

I didn't think I was going to like Millennium Falcon when I first started reading it. It felt a little messy and not as well written as some of James Luceno's other Star Wars books. I was also a little confused at first with all the time line changes. But, after finishing it, I can say that I actually enjoyed reading it.
I probably liked coming across all the mentions and references to other Star Wars books the most, especially the Han Solo and Lando Calrissian Adventures which are oddly never mentioned in other E.U books. It was also interesting to see where the journey of finding the Falcon's previous or newer owners led the characters, and was cool when they finally met up and had to work together to find the treasure.
The treasure at the end was definitely a surprise because it's not what you expect it to be, and it leaves you saying, "Wow... Really? Okay..."
The time line changes at the beginning all make sense in the end, and all the loose ends are tied up. The ending of this book is a perfect lead into Outcast, the first book of the Legacy Of The Force series.

I was lost between generations and story is confusing. It has no correlation with comics and films or series. Just jumbled up events. Recommend AVOID.

Complete garbage in every way. This is not Karen Travis, folks (author of the truly excellent republic commando series, among others). I don't know whether the author is completely talentless or he just mailed it in because it was a hired gig. But either way, this novel is.. How shall I put this? It's pure excrement. As in stinky poop. It's bad. It's really bad. It has no redeeming qualities. How and why is it bad? Let me count the ways. A ridiculous premise, a poorly-executed exploration of that premise, characters who are not introduced in any meaningful way, no emotional content for the reader to latch onto, and a completely anticlimactic "treasure" at the end. When the treasure turned out to be what it was, there was a brief moment of hope, despite the fact that it hadn't been set up earlier. I though Ah, here's a chance for the author to redeem himself with the character's reaction to it. He could explore the the naivete of those who thought this republic symbol would somehow have changed the course of history, had it been found. But no. Nothing. Just emptiness. If you've read this entire review you may be determined enough to finish it, like I was, but you will find yourself disappointed at every turn.

One of Luceno's better SW books, but the climax really ruins the experience, it's so bad.
