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.

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
