Showing my noobness on things SW, was it ever explained why the Falcon's cockpit was off centered?
Bones: "Don't 'rawr' her!"
Booth: "What? she'rawred' me first."

I don't think there's a story-based reason, or if there is, it was conjured long after the fact.
The folk tale around it is that Lucas was trying to describe his idea for the ship (and it's asymetrical nature), and illustrated it by sticking an olive to the side of a hamburger with a toothpick.

The only "explanation" I've ever come across was a note in the old West-End RPG that the stock YT-1300 freighter came in three variants; portside cockpit, starbord cockpit, and central cockpit. Lando just happened to end up with the starbord-side variant.

I can't help but think of Jubal Early, as he described the cargo bay of Serenity.
I like the way the walls go out.
Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's
a good design.
Those words really stuck w/ me. Not because Jubal was describing our favorite Midbulk transport
, but because I hear Joss proudly proclaiming to the world that there was great thought put into this design. The ship has meaning. Not just in her crew, but in her very essence....Sorry, what was the question again?

I do have a mighty roar....
Now this is creepy. I'm actually wearing a fleece pull over with a Mac & Jack's logo on it ...
Well.... my sister is a ship...... we had a complicated childhood.

That's a solid observation, I had never looked at it that way.
