For scenes in the interior of the Falcon, sets of the cockpit, main hold, and gun turret were built for Star Wars. For The Empire Strikes Back, a complete Millennium Falcon was built for the Hoth Rebel base. The exterior of the Falcon seen on Mos Eisley and in the Death Star hangar was only partially built, with the rest (mostly the port side) provided by a matte painting.

For The Empire Strikes Back, a smaller version was built that would be easier to control in action scenes, such as the famous asteroid chase. Portrayed on screen, its maneuverability is the result of motion-control camera work.
