● ● ● ● ● Star Wars Speculation is a community dedicated to speculative discussion of the Star Wars franchise. It is a curated space to talk about additions to canon in a larger perspective—incorporating analysis of the story being told and the real life factors around it in order to best theorize what comes next. Please be reasonable and open-minded. Do not demean others. Work together with your fellow speculators in an attempt to build understanding as we collectively try to unlock the secrets of upcoming Star Wars media.
Rules 1) Be courteous to your fellow speculators. Follow reddiquette. Comments including demeaning language, sarcasm, rudeness, gloating or hostility towards another user (or aggregate of users or fans) will be removed. Repeated violations may result in a ban. 2) Be substantive. Posts must either contain speculation or introduce a topic for speculative discussion.

Please put your ideas in context. We do not allow excessive low-effort one-liner comments, jokes, memes, or off-topic replies. Unrelated fan works should not be posted here. 3) Be positive. Speculation is a collaborative process. Criticism should be polite and constructive.
Posts or comments made for the sole purpose of expressing negative opinions are not allowed. 4) Address the arguments, not the person. In disagreements, the subject of your sentence should be 'the evidence' or 'this theory' or some other noun directly related to the topic of conversation. 'You' statements should be avoided. If you see a post or comment breaking any of these rules, please report and ignore it. Do not respond in kind.

Watching Rebels and re-watching episodes 4, 5 and 6, the Ghost seems to be able to take quite a bit more of a hit than the Falcon pre-episode 6.
Falcon of course has more of the iconic feel and is a much more loved ship, but the Ghost looks like it's more technologically sound, at least in terms of shielding and armor. I think the Falcon has more maneuverability and speed, as well as a higher range of fire. Falcon has escape pods, but the Ghost has a small shuttle that can be used in the middle of a dogfight to add a second ship to the battle, gaining more tactics in the middle of a dogfight. What do you guys think?
Is my analysis accurate? And here comes the big question. Which ship would stand a better chance in a one-on-one fight? Ghost still gets to keep its shuttle to use in the fight.
My money is on the Falcon still. The Falcon is a smuggling ship. It's not built to take a hit, it's built to outrun the enemy, and that's actually what we see it do most of the time. The only straight-up fights we see are the Death Star escape (where the Empire was going easy on them in order to track them back to the Rebellion base), and the big battle in ROTJ, where the Falcon does just kick total ass.
The Ghost is definitely a burlier ship, much more well maintained, and has a wider range of tactical options. This suits its purpose as more of a military vessel. I think the ships also reflect the personalities of their captains. Han Solo is very rough around the edges, more likely to trick his opponent rather than fight straight up, and ready to run at the first sign of trouble. Hera is a much more responsible leader, and has been willing to risk her ship in order to complete a mission.
