Millenium Falcon in EPIII
According to rumors, near the end of EPIII, Obiwan goes to Naboo to track down Anakin. While approching the planet in his Jedi Starfighter, General Grevious shoots him down and he crashlands. After defeating Grevious, and confronting Padme about the whereabouts of Anakin, Obiwan leaves Naboo on GREVIOUS' SHIP!!! Padme stowes away on the ship - obiwan does not know she is aboard.
Could it be that Grevious' ship is actuall the Millenuim Falcon?!?! We know it is introduced in EPIII, and it seems like perfect irony and could provide some nice parallels to the OT.
Specifically, Padme could stowe away in the same compartments that Luke, Han, Chewie, Obiwan, and the droids hid when captured by the Empire in ANH?
To me, it seems highly likely this is the case, but I'm curious about everyone's opinions.

The MF is a freighter, isn't it? I don't think Grievous would be flying one of those.

I thought Grando Calrissian stole the Falcon to go to prom night?

Well, only after it was modified.
I don't think there is any unambiguous confirmation that the ship is in Episode III.

ah, i guess it could be just another one of those "would be cool if" ideas. i really like the idea of padme stowing away on the falcon, though.

Well lots of characters in the SW-Universe have 'personal ships' Dash Rendar had the Outrider and he was a millitary man who primarily flew high tech fighters.
Maybe Grievious 'personal' ship was a certain freighter which he converted to be as deadly as hell but also look like any other shipas so not to draw attention.
Remember thats what Jango and then Boba Fett did with the Slave 1, a Firespray Police Patrol Ship, old, dozens of them about, you wouldn't glance at em twice, thats maybe the idea.

that would be a cool twist. kind of like the tantive IV appearing ni episode III. What would be a real surprise is if Lucas revealed in the archivals or in EU that the alliance used battle droids. that would really twist things.

Also, I don't want to see the Millenium Falcon at all.
How many times have we seen something thats directly/indirectly related to the main plot arc?
Boba Fett - a miserable bit part made famous cos he wore a cool helmet. Lucas knew the fans loved him, and so made his dad the ORIGINAL FREAKING STORM TROOPER!
C3PO - Created by the anti-christ and was probably intended for some depraved sexual slavery means to while away the lonely nights in the slave quarters. He only ends up living at the same place he is destined to return to later, and meet his younger brother, Luke Skywalker.
We don't need to see any more relatives become "outted" in the next movie - I don't want Han to be Kit Fistos illegitamate son, who was concieved after a drunken fling with Jabba The Hutt. NO NO NO!
I would rather just see the Millenium Falcon parked somewhere, in a polite "nod" to its genius. Having is flown by a major prequel character will just be corny.
However, show me Grievous/Jedi piloting an early Y-Wing or X-Wing and I'd be happy. At least that wouldn't scream: "Bulls**t!!!"
PS I too remember The Outrider. That ship rocked.

Could it be that it is just a YT-1300. It is supposed to be an old ship and it was also supposed to be common back in its day.
