Here's how to find Star Wars' Millennium Falcon on Google Earth
Maybe its hyperdrive has crashed, again

The Millennium Falcon has been all over the galaxy, from the Death Star to the Death Star II and even to the Starkiller Base. But when it's not making the Kessel Run (in less than 12 parsecs, of course), it's parked in Surrey.
Eagle, or rather, falcon-eyed fans found the iconic Star Wars ship on Google Maps, just outside Longcross Studios and surrounded by coloured containers:
In Star Wars lore, the Millennium Falcon was owned by Lando Calrissian until he lost it to Han Solo through gambling — scenes we may likely see in next year's Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Han and his faithful partner in smuggling Chewbacca piloted the ship for a while, until Lando temporarily got back behind the wheel at the end of The Empire Strikes Back and for the climactic battle (alongside Nien Nunb, who is the BEST character) in Return of the Jedi. At some point afterwards, the Falcon fell into the hands of Unkar Plutt, the junk lord of Jakku, until Rey and Finn stole it for their escape from the First Order.
The pair conveniently bumped into Han and Chewie again during The Force Awakens, with Han taking control of the ship until he kicked the dust, leaving Rey and Chewie in charge of the Falcon.
It's anybody's guess as to what will happen to the Millennium Falcon in The Last Jedi. Knowing its complicated history, we wouldn't be surprised if the ship ends up being traded in at CEX or something.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi lightspeeds into cinemas on December 15.
