[SW] Why doesn’t the Millennium Falcon have an astro droid?

Seems like one would come in handy. Does it simply not need one?

**Complete answer:** A Navicomputer is used by most ships to chart courses through hyperspace. Many small ships, like X-Wings and Y-Wings, don’t use Navicomputers and instead rely on Astromech droids to control the ship’s hyperdrive (essentially acting as a removable Navicomputer). The *Millennium Falcon* not only has an on-board Navicomputer controlled by the pilot or co-pilot, but it also has (as we learned from *Solo: A Star Wars Story*) the vast array of navigational data downloaded from L3. 

In Legends (Star Wars expanded universe), it’s also stated that the Falcon’s on board computer uses a trio of linked droid-brains that allow its Navicomputer and other computerized systems to run even faster than an Astromech droid (which itself has only one droid brain).

**Simple answer:** The *Millennium Falcon* doesn’t need an Astromech droid.
