I have actually had this battle before in the game, Star Wars X-wing Alliance...
It all really depends on the skill of the pilots....
althouh everytime i played as the Slave 1 i kicked ass....
I played against about 6 different people and lost maybe twice...
So I'd have to go with the Slave 1,
but then again if the millenium falcon gets behind it, the slave cant do much, where the minllenium falcon has two turrets on the upper and lower parts of the ship...
IT would have to be very close....
Besides we've seen both ships kick some major ass in the movies...
Slave 1 in Episode II Attack of the Clones against Obiwans Jedi Starfighter....
Millenium Falcon in Episode IV A New Hope against the Imperial forces and the deathstar....
I think whoever runs outta fuel first loses...
I'd have to say I don't agree with most of you on this fight. Everyone seems to think Slave I is the better ship because it's more agile and it has seismic charges. Everyone is ignoring the fact that the Falcon has warship-grade shield generators (Actually, three of them. It takes direct hits from ISDs, which can glass a planet), concussion missiles, and the turbolasers are juiced, capable of blowing apart most fighter-sized ships with a single hit. These CAN be manually operated from the cockpit as well.

I would consider boba a better pilot though, plus it is really hard for Han to pilot and fire lasers and torpedoes, unless he has a copilot. The slave seems more manuverable, which is very important in a dogfight.
Han Solo using a manual gun turret paired up with a relative newbie took a few minutes, but in any case Slave I's biggest weakness here is that it's alone, and it'll only take on solid hit to rip through its shields. The Falcon, meanwhile, has warship-class shields, meaning that it can take punishment all day.
As for Han Solo, again, you're all underestimating his ability; in the Han Solo trilogy, he routinely uses his ex-Imperial training and intuition to combat pirate ships and Imperial pickets. At one point he fights off several space pirates using a shoddy Ylesian space barge, which has less shielding than the Falcon does, far less manueverability, and doesn't have illegal military-grade weaponry.
Now, I know Boba's good, and he's no slouch, so this fight won't be anything less than a good one. However, no one here is giving the Falcon and its considerable pilot their rightful due.
I think Boba has this pretty much in the bag. The Falcon may be designed to take a lot of punishment but other than that it's not built for combat in every aspect, whereas Slave I is. And I don't see how the Slave I's armor and shields could be that much worse than the Falcon's.
Which pilot is the better is a toss-up, though I lean in Boba's direction, but his ship is more suited to a dogfight and he doesn't have the inconvenient turret placement of the Falcon.

k thank you
Its been a while since i read it but i thin i remeber that slave 1 might have lost a wing and i do know that the falcon tried to hide in a planet that is entirely made of sum sort of gas like the gas giants in our solar system and when he did leave the planet fett was waiting but i cant remember how he escaped.

That sounds right, but didn't the Falcon lose it's guns, and that's why Han ran and hid? Plus, Chewie, Leia and Han were all in the Falcon. then, in this case it's Han alone.
when talking about han's piloting skills I don't think weever saw boba fly thew an asteroid field, nor did his father Jango( am not considering a planet's rings as an asteroid field, for one an asteroid field is thousands of times larger that a ring of asteroids around a planet)
Han did this while being chased by Imperial tie fighters whom were very manuverable than the falcon, and han did not crash, the tie fighters did.
