Yahoo News This is what it costs to insure The Millennium Falcon
With Star Wars: The Last Jedi out in cinemas later this week, everyone is currently obsessed with the galaxy far, far away, and this even includes people who work in insurance.
The folks over at InsureTheGap have done some mathematics and worked out how much it would cost to insure some of the most iconic vehicles in the series, so let's have a look at them...
The Millennium Falcon
Owned by: Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, Rey. Cost to insure: £414,533 per year.
It can make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs (which is a measurement of distance, not a unit of time!) and has been involved in blowing up two Death Stars and a Death Star knockoff, but it's due to Han's use of the ship for smuggling that racks up the cost here.
Sebulba's Podracer
Owned by: Sebulba (duh). Cost to insure: £9,545 per year.
As Qui-Gon Jinn once said, "They have podracing on Malastare, very fast, very dangerous." That, combined with the 'heavily customised' classification of this racer, makes the insurance cost a pretty penny. Sebulba being a pretty reckless and angry driver probably factors into it too, but we wouldn't tell him that.
TIE Advanced X1
Owned by: Darth Vader. Cost to insure: £112,932 per year.
Everyone knows that TIE Fighters are made of paper and get blown up pretty easily, and although Vader's personal vehicle looks a lot more durable and has those protective side wings, there's a reason the cost is so high: the hyperdrive. Having said that, we're sure Vader has methods of... persuasion to lower the cost.
Corellian Corvette
Owned by: Bail Organa, Leia Organa, The Rebel Alliance. Cost to insure: £4,643,460 per year.
The biggest ship on the list (they haven't even tried to work out how much the Death Star would cost), the use of these Blockade Runners in some of the Rebellion's most important missions, plus the amount of passengers it can carry, rakes the cost up loads. No wonder the Empire liked blowing them up so much.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is released in cinemas December 14 in the UK, and December 15 in the US.
