Millennium Falcon or Starship Enterprise? - Fan Question | StarTalk

Oh, that's easy. Oh my gosh, no, the Enterprise! There's no question. No question! The Enterprise has the benefit of being real, in the sense that there are real scientists and real engineers on staff on the ship monitoring its engines, its warp drives, its photon torpedoes, and so on. It's fake real, as opposed to the Millennium Falcon, which is just fake fake.

It's just part of a fantasy storytelling in Star Wars. Not only that, the Enterprise—and I've thought long and hard about this, and I think what I'm about to say is correct— it is the first ever spaceship represented in storytelling that was not designed to go from one place to another. It was only designed to explore. Think about that! Every movie, every show that preceded that built it to go to a destination, and they go there, and they get out, and they pitch a tent.

They're not completely living on the ship as an exploratory vehicle. That was revolutionary in terms of what we would think space would and should be about. Plus, in a battle, the Enterprise would just wipe its ass with the Millennium Falcon. I'm sorry, can I say that on National Geographic?
