This kit is the 1/144 Millennium Falcon (Ver. Episode 8) released for Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi. It's a variation kit with only a few modifications from the previously released Episode 7 version kit, and honestly, just looking at the overall appearance, they look almost identical.

The structural changes include revised details on the front left section, and the cockpit seat parts have been slightly modified to reflect the change in crew members as seen in the film. Everything else — all the details and even the seal layout — is identical to the Episode 7 version, and the stand only differs in molded color.

Since 97% of the details are the same as before, this review will just cover the differences between the two versions — for a more in-depth look at the overall structure, check out the Millennium Falcon Episode 7 version reviewfor more details. Either way, this is a really fun kit to build with all those intricate little details, and it's easily one of the top-tier quality kits in Bandai's Star Wars lineup.

So while it's meaningful that the kit reflects the subtle changes that came with Episode 8's release, the product name itself is the same as before, which could cause some confusion when buying. That said, if you look closely at the box art, the Episode 7 version has a "The Force Awakens" label on it, while the Episode 8 version has no such label — so keep that in mind when choosing which one to pick up. :-)
