[Star Wars] Is the Millennium Falcon the fastest ship in the Galaxy at sublight or hyperspace speeds?

Can it outrun TIEs or Star Destroyers in combat without jumping to lightspeed?

According to Han Solo, absolutely! Granted Han is also known for exaggerating a little bit. Though he really isnt that far off.

In Hyperspace the Falcon is among the fastest ships possible, in fact it just may be the fastest. Somehow Han got his hands on an experimental Class 0.5 Hyperdrive. Although Hyperspace is fast, it still takes real time to travel through it, and the Class of Hyperdrive determines just how fast. A good Hyperdrive are Class 1.0 or thereabouts, so that would mean the the Falcon is substantially faster. Now there are other ships with Class 0.5 Hyperdrives, but they tend to be bigger ships with bigger reactors. The Falcon is a much smaller ship with a much smaller mass shadow, and with the tweaking and modifications Han and Chewy have done means it can travel closer to gravity wells in Hyperspace without being pulled out, so it can take routes larger ships or those with less powerful Hyperdrives can't, in essence, it can take shortcuts others can't. So in that case, the Falcon is outstandingly fast.

Now as for sublight, again Han and Chewy have made some surprising changes. The Falcon is a YT-1300 light freighter. Essentially it is a cross between a big rig truck and a tugboat. Neither are known to be very fast or agile. But that is what sets the Falcon apart. Han has modified it to have very powerful sublight engines and superior maneuverability. It flys like a dedicated military snubfighter. Now TIE Fighters, especially Interceptors and Defenders will be faster and more agile, as will A-Wings, but the Falcon compares very close to an X-Wing, and for a freighter, especially one with armor plating that can stand up to a capital ships firepower for a bit, is amazing.

So maybe it isnt exactly THE fastest ship in the Galaxy in anyone area, but put all together Han definitely has an argument, and can unabashedly boast about it.
