    Does anyone know how the Falcon is flown? Whoever is flying it regardless of the elaborate acrobatics they are performing just sits in front of a hug control panel with a couple of levers not really doing anything.
    Hand and Chewie in the asteroid belt.
    Rey in the downed Star Destroyer.
    Lando in Death Star II.
    I know its part of its charm but I imagine it must be quite tricky controlling that ship with one lever and a load of flashing lights?

    • You are aware it's a movie, right? ; )dopepope
    • I imagine it's a lot like the self driving cars of today, but with an asteroid avoidance feature as an upgrade_niko
    • The cockpit changed in the movies. By ROTJ their were yokes for the pilots.ETM
    • The yokes are clearly visible in TFA. Here's a shot of the set piece:

    • It's that one big lever that Han so obviously uses in the new episode.. That's all u needautoflavour
    • I've never thought much of it, but assume that lever is the throttle.ETM
