The Millennium Falcon may be getting an upgrade in "Star Wars 7." The leaked pictures of the spaceship reveal that the communications and sensor array have been replaced. The replacement may be of Corellian technology. [Spoiler Alert]

Fans of the franchise who have seen the original trilogy will remember that the Millennium Falcon lost its communications and sensor array, the prominent round shaped disc, when Lando Calrissian entered the new Death Star and was being pursued by Tie Fighters.

The leaked pictures of the Millennium Falcon from the sets of "Star Wars 7" reveal that the communications and sensor array appears to be a rectangle instead of the round shape that fans are used to seeing. The difference was spotted by GalacticVoyage.

The new communications and sensor array appears to be of Corellian technology used in the ship Tantive IV. The Tantive IV was owned by the royal house of Alderaan and featured in the movie "Star Wars: A New Hope." This was the ship which Darth Vader boarded when Princess Leia was carrying an important message for the rebellion.

Readers should note that both the Millenium Falcon and the Tantive IV were manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation. The space ship has seen multiple modifications and upgrades over the years. The space ship has changed many hands and has been owned by many individuals.

One of the most famous pilots of Millennium Falcon has been Han Solo. The character is from the planet Corellia and has the characteristic feature of being individualistic and a risk taker. Actor Harrison Ford will be reprising his role as Han Solo in "Star Wars 7."

It is unclear who will be flying the Millennium Falcon in "Star Wars 7." According to an unconfirmed report by Latino Review, Oscar Isaac's character is the new owner of the space ship. The report also said that Han and Chewbacca will be piloting another ship.

With the new upgrades is the Millennium Falcon still one of the fastest ships in the galaxy? The plot of "Star Wars 7" has been set about 30 years after the events of the first trilogy. Fans are eager to see what design changes and technological innovations have been planned in the movie.
