Millennium Falcon vs The Ghost | Star Wars: Who Would Win 

super star destroyer vs a-wing

We HAVE seen the Falcons Concussion Missiles in action: THAT is what was fires at the Death Star II's reactor core. I slow-mowed it, they are quite clearly missiles, not lasers. You can even see it in the clip in this video.

Spot on analysis. Hera and Han are both extremely competent combat pilots who are extremely familiar with their ships, so that's not a factor either. It comes down to the Ghost, bristling with weaponry, managing to get a targeting lock on the Falcon. As long as the Falcon isn't in the middle of an untimely malfunction, it should be able to get away, but taking out the Ghost would require a lot more luck than skill. If both ships are crewed by green pilots and gunners, the difference between the ships becomes even more start. The Ghost is a well-funded and well-supported ship that is mostly free of maintenance problems, while the Falcon is your uncle's garage project Datsun 240Z that hasn't gone a month since 1983 without requiring some sort of repair. Han and Chewie are able to mitigate and to some extent anticipate those issues, but they'd quickly take an inexperienced crew out of a fight.

For the record, The Falcon's Concussion Missiles, and equivalent weapons on other ships, HAVE been seen in action. That's how General Calrissian destroyed the second Death Star.

U forgot that the Falcon used its missiles to destroy the Second Death Star. Also, there was a retractable light repeating blaster mounted underneath the hull to help cover escapes. Furthermore, Han salvaged some armor plates from some destroyed Imperial capital ships and retrofitted them onto the hull of the Falcon for additional protection

Y-wing vs Tie Bomber

Endurance Class Fleet Carrier vs Venator Class Star Destroyer

The Falcon has two concussion missile launchers with four round magazine for each launcher, two quad laser cannons. Was as agile as any Star fighter with duralloy armor from an imperial cruiser, and it has three separate shield generators. I think you need to do this one over. The falcon will out maneuver the ghost every time, and take everything the ghost throughs at it.

Escape pods can be used tactically, if you fill them with explosives and fly over your enemy, ejecting them, you could then detonate.

I think the concussion missiles on the Millennium Falcon wood downplayed considerably. Because of the speed and maneuverability you could get in close launch a couple of missiles and do some heavy damage then hitting the same spot with the quad lasers to do the ghost in for sure.

One very small correction... The weapon the Millennium Falcon used against the Death Star 2's reactor was the concussion missiles. Other than that, I do have one explanation on why the Falcon is so resilient - military-grade shields. I believe the shield generator was putting out a shield comparable to a single ISD shield generator, though I'd have to double-check. However, even if it's putting out half that, that would make the vessel more than capable of taking the hits it did. You can fly that thing straight at an Imperial Star Destroyer without fear of being blasted into pieces.

BB8 vs siri

I have to agree that I think the Ghost would win the matchup between these two. You mention the Falcon’s durability, but really it’s just able to be put back together after falling apart time and again, which isn’t something that will help it in head to head fight. I think the upgrades that have been added to the ships will be a major factor in the fight. Not because the sensor dampers will give the Ghost a huge advantage, as once in a dogfight, I’m not sure if there is any, but on the other hand we’ve heard, seen and read for decades now, how the upgrades Han, and Lando, had done to the Falcon have made it faster, but its also made it very fragile and prone to breakage, something we really haven’t seen to be a problem with the Ghost. Even if both vessels have the same strength shields, the Ghost’s weapons load out outputs far more damage than the Falcon’s, and while both are able to take out fighters, and both have been seen to weather a hit or two from capital ships, the Falcon normally seems to fare far worse from the hits than the Ghost, which even has engaged multiple light cruisers, and taken them out with minimal help,and without suffering any significant damage. The Falcon on the other hand survived a couple hits, but ends up hurting for having done so. Basically the Falcon is only really effective as a block-aid runner, that is when it’s working, and it’s weapon load out is appropriate for that task, while the Ghost has shown itself to be a capable warship and is thus more heavily armed as it’s constantly engaging targets that are above it’s weight class, instead of just targeting fighters. I’ve loved the Ghost since seeing the first few episodes of Rebels, as you said it’s a great “Hub ship” for their adventures, and I love that the upgrades that have been installed were geared toward dampening and/or changing it’s sensor readings, which always made more sense to me than just increasing it’s speed, like was done with the Falcon, as IMO when trying to avoid an enemy with 10’s of thousands of ships, countless thousands of bases and outposts and millions of fighters, it seems not being seen, or not being recognized is far more advantageous than going just a bit faster, especially since you can damper and/or adjust your sensor readings without requiring a bunch of extra power, thus leaving more power to dedicate to your shields, and/or weapons.

Make sure you vote at the end of the video (at around 6:20)! I'll discuss the results in the next episode!

Tri-Droid Starfighter vs Tie-Interceptor

In case anybody is wondering, the Falcon has been determined to be 35m long and 24m wide. Most canon sources I've seen (admittedly old ones) show it is loaded with lots of stolen military grade equipment, from sensors to shielding.

Admiral Trench flagship vs General Grievous flagship

The Falcons shielding is military-grade, with multiple shield emitters, stolen from an Imperial shipyard. It is also far more manuverable, with vectored thrust on its main drive, and has been described as "as fast as a starfighter, and nearly as manuverable" (guide to warfare). As for weapons, the quad-mount laser canons are more powerful than standard cannons would be, modified by Han Solo for greater power, and a faster rate of fire. The concussion missiles are actually what was used to destroy the Death StarII's main reactor, not the cannons. Sorry but I'm giving this battle to the Falcon, based on maneuverability and shield strength.

MC140 Battlecruiser vs Pellaeon Class Star Destroyer (First suggested by Wyatt Rossow multiple times. I thought I would help him out)

They shot concussions missiles at the death star generator in Jedi.

Amazing video as usual. Keep up the good work!

Finally! I've been looking forward to this one for a while

the concussion missile ripped through the reactor of the second death star, and also had an insane rate of fire

Nice evalutation, I think your right that in a straight up fight between good crews that the Ghost would win, but one of the things that everyone forgets that you did mention is that the Falcon is designed to be running away from a fight. If crewed with their respective owners and typical crew it COULD be a different result, but I'd probably say it would end up in a draw at best in Ghost's favour due to the fact that there is more crewed weapons on the Ghost.

One big thing that Eck missed in this one is the fact that the Ghost has a massive blind spot behind and beneath its center line. The Falcon, being faster and more maneuverable, could get on the Ghost's tail and blast away with no problems. If the Ghost deploys the fighter, which the Falcon is probably even better suited to killing, the Ghost would lose all rear defensive capabilities. This means, this fight shouldn't have been a who wins, but how long does the Ghost last.

the Praetor Mark 2 Class-Battlecruiser vs Resurgent Class-Star Destroyer (7th time trying)

X-wing vs arc 170 Second try, I won't give up

Millennium Falcon vs outrider

Great video and analysis. I didn't think about many of those aspects.

Thank you for this channel its interesting, educational, and fun.

guys, the Falcon has concussion missiles in the area between the two prongs

the malevolence vs the merciless hand or aggressor class star destroyer

OMG I requested this ty for doing it

Great video! One thing I noticed was in the audio you said you were focusing on the Phantom II but all the video at that point was actually the first Phantom.

What about something little bigger? What about the Open Circle Fleet vs. the Death Squadron? Could be a interessting Match-up

I think my favorite ship from any star wars related thing has to be the ghost. I just love the thing so much

Something a little out there: Keldabe-class Battleship vs. Valor-class Cruiser. Let's go old mandalorian wars! It'd be nice to see a mandalorian ship go up in the contest!

The Falcon had some pretty complex shield systems, apparently 4 types of shields, as wells as military grade armour, the Ghost is only mentioned to have shields, i'd take that to mean they merely have bog standard shields. The Falcon is 25kph faster in atmosphere, way faster in hyperspace. The Falcon essentially has 8 lasers to the Ghost's 6, yet the Ghost can only have 4 pointing either aft or forward, the twin dorsal ball turret lasers but the Falcon has ventral and dorsal ball turret quad lasers that provide more all round cover, the Ghost has no Ventral armaments, on straight attack runs or broadside the Falcon can put 8 lasers onto it's target at the right angle. The Flacon has missile launchers but the Ghost has Proton launchers. The Falcon was originally modified by folks with the creds to spare, the Ghost was probably modified on a shoe string budget using scraps. This battle would be a slugging match which the Falcon would have to rely on it's speed and manoeuvrability to get into blind spots, use hit and run tactics and wear down its bigger and heavier stable-mate, i'd go 6/10 times the Falcon would win. If Alex Kamal or Bull were piloting the Falcon it would be an awesome spinning light show of death for the Ghost while avoiding all the incoming fire.

In my opinion: If Han was in the Falcon, and Hera/crew were in the Ghost, I think Han would win . Because Han would shoot first ;)

C'mon guy. Falcon had two concussion missile launchers in between the forward mandibles. That's how it knocked out the 2nd Death Star.

love these vids man

I just subscribed to your channel man I found it recently and I love it can't wait for more videos :)

You should've also included cargo capacity as a relevant category, since that's actually the primary purpose of both ships. (Ghost still wins, it's got a larger cargo bay that's easier to load and has even hauled some big things externally)

First! Slave 1 vs DASH Rendars ship

awesome video mate keep up the good work

It’s worth mentioning the Forces of Destiny episode with Hera and Han on Endor, which establishes this very rivalry in-universe.

Lucrehulk-class Battleship Vs. Imperial II Star Destroyer

Love both but the ghost is more of a fighter and stealth helps for smuggling so its a way better ship

the falcon's forward torpedo placements combined with it's speed, almost indestructible rear shields and superior maneuverability give the edge to win. all it needs to do is dance around the sides of the ghost aiming for the Ghost's dorsal turret with the Falcon's more powerful top and bottom quad laser turrets, swing around to it's six, put full power the forward shields, slow down and fire proton torpedoes at the Ghosts engines in the crosshairs while defending itself from the Phantom with it's turrets which would make short work of the Phantom

Love your stuff. what kind of video editing software do you use. I would like to make star war vs star trek site.

do dauntless heavy cruiser vs mc30c

Nebleoun B frigate vs sepatist munificent class star frigate

it would be interesting to analyze what the Alliance needed to field in order to take out the DeathStar 1 and 2 in a head-on fight.

Falcon also has that surface defence blaster cannon from the battle of Hoth. Probably wouldn't do too much o the Ghost, but may damage the Phantom if that's involved.

Mandator II (or maybe III) VS. The Executor

Death Star vs Centerpoint Station

Thanks for this match up! Very interessting indeed. My vote goes to the Ghost because of how powerful her weapons are. And I never realized how huge it is. Wow!! Oo

This is great!

I am sick too! hope you get better soon

mc75 vs venator

Arent you forgetting that the falcon also has proton torpedos as well? Thats what it used to shoots at the Death Star II.

Millennium Falcon also has a hidden concussion missile launcher. I don't know if it'd make much difference, but...

I think that the ghost is a remake of the falcon.

I do think the ghost is over estimated because its a kids cartoon that shows the good guy always win, I don't the ghost could destroy a small imperial ship in just a few shot or that ship has the worst defensives ability's their is.

That freighterer the ghost dystroys in season one had a Khyber Crystal shipment onboard

I'd like to see the Defender-Class Light Corvette VS the Fury-Class Interceptor

Slave 1 vs Melenium Falcon

The Falcon also had concussion missile tubes.

YES FINALLY!!!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS ONE!!!

both ships startle the line between straight freighter and combat vessel. my question is what would they be like if fully spected out for combat?

As much as I love the Ghost, I must disagree with one thing. In the canon Star Wars comics, we see that the Millennium Falcon can fire anti-capital ship grade proton bombs. Two of these punched clean through the hull of an unshielded Imperial II-class star destroyer. I would say that the Ghost and Falcon are equal in overall firepower.

mc 80 liberty vs mc 80 home one please!?

#AskEcks Video idea: How much did the upgrades to each of these ships *cost?* (Add in the Outrider) What were the issues with installing them?, how hard were they to source?, how obvious were they to external viewers (turrets could be seen, but the other stuff - I'm remembering Han Solo at Stars End when his ship got impounded for inspection). Basically how hard and what would it cost to turn a standard civilian ship into a hero ship? The Rebels or whoever try to copy the abilities of these ships, or maybe Han had a illegitimate kid pre Leia that fanboyed him and tried to recreate the Falcon ;) [If I was in the Rebellion, I'd get a bunch of old YT series Freighters cheap and then turn them into Q-Ships (disguised combat ships, originally tramp Freighters in WW2 designed to sucker U boats into surfacing for a easy kill) that were gunships and heavy bombers for ambushes and general combat - imagine if the Falcon was modified from being a smuggler to a slugger…] _and talk about being late to the party_

can you do the Halo Spirit of Fire VS the Venator class star destroyer

The Falcon also has an underside hidden turret. Plus those quad-laser turrets are extremely fast and very powerful for their size. The Falcon has more angles of attack and is faster, I feel it could overwhelm the Ghost. Republic Stealth Ship vs Imperial Cruiser.

The falcon takes this. It's maneuverability wins. It's shielding outmatched the ghost. The ghost has more weapons but they are low grade vs The Falcons military high grade quad cannons. The falcon has fought against several SD and the DS II and survived. The ghost destroyed an arquitens, which is 5 times smaller than a SD. Based on the history and the power of the enemies the ship faced and won against the falcon wins.

The big factor is there wouldn't be a fight, the falcon was built to avoid a fight, the falcon would run.

Dude this series is awesome

The ghost would win it's more bulky and thicker and made for battle the falcon is faster and more movable and better at dodging then the ghost but in the end the ghost would win

Falcon would win every time because it's way to maneuverable and would pepper away at the sucky "Star Wars" rebels ghost.

The Milenium Flacon 's armour plating was tales from an abandoned imperial star destroyer and welded into the hull. This would make the ship almost impervious to weapons fire due to it being capital ship grade armour. Also the milenium falcon has two concussion missile launchers in the front of the ship.

hey whats that song called in the background it sounds really calm

Yo could you run the Outrider vs Kade Skywalkers ship. Cant remember the ships name tho

I'd say the Ghost would win. It would be a fun match up to see how the crews of each ship would react. An undertrained blind Jedi, a dark-side using padawan, a big beast, a good pilot war hero, a crazy droid, and a Mandalorian! Vs a very undertrained Jedi, a great smuggler pilot, his princess girlfriend, a big harry beast, the best R2 droid in the galaxy, and a boring protocol droid.

Those two quad turrets have taken the first order ties out with one shot and those ships have deflectors

Could you do an Acclamator-class assault ship vs the rebel Assault Frigate Mark II?

Especially if Chopper is controlling the rear guns

How about a video explaining how many capital ships it would take to eliminate a Golan Defense Platform or relative strengths of the different types?

TIE Hunter vs. N-1 Starfighter I know there isn't really much information on the TIE Hunter, but I would like to see it in a versus video.

I was under the impression that the Millennium Falcon, or 'YT-1300', was a support ship used during the Clone Wars (the 'original' 1974 storyline), build for that purpose, but as time passed, many of these ships were later used as cargo freighters. Han's modifications allowed the Falcon to be a more efficient smuggling ship, even 'if' it was a bit run down. But then, that's more on the 'owner' than the vehicle itself, as most people 'do' tend to just jump into their vehicles day after day, never really thinking about the wear and tear that happens over time. As for who wins in a battle, I would say the Ghost has the advantage with the added fighter that separates from the ship, making it a two on one battle.

Please, I really want to see the Recusant vs the Harrower

Providence class Dreadnought vs Victory 1 Star Destroyer, both decently armed and armoured and from the same time period.

Please do A lucerhulk battleship later clone wars version vs resurgent class star destroyer

The Sun Crusher vs. Centerpoint Station!

This one is a hard one for me to decide who would win

Regarding the Falcon's cargo capacity, we seem to be omitting the possibility that the Falcon may have been intended to be used as a freight pusher. By attaching cargo pods, as seen in concept art, the falcon's freight capacity is greatly increased. Perhaps it was these same cargo pods Han jettisoned to get away from an imperial cruiser, resulting in him owing a considerable debt to the huts?

Luke is not the one who says "It's time for the jedi to end". Listen closely to how Luke's voice sounds at the beginning of the teaser and compare it to the voice at the end of the teaser. It's Snoke's voice at the end, Snoke is the one saying "it's time for the Jedi to end"!

Can you do a comparison on the Ghost v the Shadow Caster. both are from Star Wars Rebels season 3 I think.
