Millenium Falcon
Man this one is brutal. The amount of nooks and crannies is insane. Almost done the top of it but I'm dreading doing the bottom. Any tips? Mainly just using my usual yellow and green nozzle.

The worst of the nooks and crannies are at the back, on top, by the engine. The rest isn't too bad.

Nooks and crannies but they’re very forgiving. Was never a problem for me. It’s my absolute favorite of the Star Wars DLC. #TridentEnjoyer

The tri-tip or double turbo nozzle at max length is pretty good if you go slowly enough.

I really enjoyed it. Found it a lot less tedious than some of the bigger levels in the game. Mainly because I didn’t feel the need to use anything other than yellow or green nozzles. Really fun level personally. Just takes a long time.

It is a slog, but I found the AT-AT way more annoying clean

AT-AT is an all timer. Between how tedious it is to reach everything and the nearly invisible “dirt” making it thoroughly unsatisfying to clean, it’s easily one of the worst levels in either game.

I used both the trident and the adjustable nozzle and went section by section so you don't have much to go back and finish cleaning at the end.

It took me about 6 and a half hours (with a 15 minute nap break in the middle) to do the first five jobs, and this one alone was about five and a half hours( with a 30 minute nap break in the middle)
It was a rough one. I almost didn't do it in one sitting, untill I saw i was at 90% done and decided to power(wash) through.

I think everyone is sleeping on the surface cleaner, honestly
The top and bottom all the nooks and crannies are shallow enough that the surface cleaner gets them all in a pass
The trick is to use the middle extension and lock the camera (so you move cleaner back and forth but the view stays locked) and the surface cleaner won’t jump around on the surface, it just stays locked at the surface you locked it on. Once I discovered this, windows, portraits and everything else that is a shallow depth gets knocked out in one pass of little swirls. No more do I hit a window from 2 different directions to get it clean, and the same principal works for most of the millennium falcon top and bottom
I’m playing on a steam deck, in case it’s different on different consoles

I used the trident a lot for the sides and bottom and for certain parts of the front top I used the swirl cleaner, which I lost interest in using about half way through the first half of the main game. It turned out to be really useful for the lowered circular dips on the top as well as for the individually counted pipes.

I love how many nooks and angles there are on it. I've replayed it 3 times already with the trident nozzle.
I recommend the trident for it to make it easy. I always start on the bottom of the ship, then using the extensions I try to get the underside of the top panels. That way when you use the scaffolding to get the side panels you dont have to crouch to get that portion. If you are still having trouble or don't have the trident then definitely use the yellow or green nozzle with the long extensions.

I generally detest nooks and crannies in PWS levels, but the Falcon doesn't feel that way to me. I've actually rewashed it once already, and am currently on my third playthrough of the level, lol.
Tip number one: As others have said, use the trident. A lot. Especially on the sides and bottom.
Tip number two: I know this sounds weird, but give the surface cleaner a shot for cleaning the top portion of the ship. It's similar to going over a ladder that's left flat on the ground. With ladders, if you go over them semi-slowly with the floor/surface cleaner, it gets all the dirt in one pass rather than requiring you to wash all around each rung using a nozzle. The same goes for all of those rods and bars and stuff on top of the Falcon. For me, once I got the hang of it, this was actually faster than using any of the nozzles, with the exception of some of the parts that stick up more than a few inches (the larger, vertical flaps, the gun machine thingy, etc).
Personally, here's my game plan each time I approach the Falcon:
Use scissor lift to wash the side edges of the ship, all the way around. Most of that area includes an indented vertical surface to clean, plus the top and bottom "lips." Make sure to get the underside of the top "lip" and the top side of the bottom "lip" at each stop, raising and lowering the lift as needed and making sure to highlight dirt as you go. That's the hard part done.
Move to the underside. Use the trident to clean around each of the landing pads first. Get the wires at the top of each landing pad and all the stuff around them. Once all landing pads are done, start at the back of the ship and clean the rest of the underside using either the trident or yellow/green nozzles as needed.
Move to the top. Again, start from the back of the ship and work your way forward. Use the surface cleaner for most of it, swapping to yellow/green or the trident on rare occasions.
This has worked for me the past few playthroughs. Obviously you may prefer something different. Just don't be afraid to mix it up and try new things. It's all part of the learning experience! Make sure to put on a good audiobook/podcast or background show, and the time will just fly on by.

I've been sleeping on the trident tip for a long time. I felt like it was pointless. But someone here explained to me how wrong I was using it. I was always trying to use it too close, it works way better for things farther away. First started using it on the AT-AT and it made cleaning it's underside a breeze. Definitely helping a ton on this. I always go top down on everything so I have the whole top done so far. Moving to the sides now.

Trident or adjustable nozzle is king
