Much better than the first one??? Are you joking? Maybe on the inside but the outside is really fugly, especially the cockpit. It's so out of place and disproportianal to the rest of the ship. I'd rather have the original any day over the new one.
Well, the first falcon is disproportional to the PEOPLE. ;) Which is worse? And the cockpit is the only out-of-proportion thing, really. The rest is right on. The construction is amazing, the construction for the old falcon is not. The old falcon didn't open up in a cool way, you just pulled the roof off. Speaking of the roof, it was totally <insert that tiresome argument>. Sure, it had the smuggling compartment, but it wasn't half as good as the one we have now.
