"I still don't understand why it's called a Mustafarian Special."
"Because it's all fire and surprise. Also because it ends badly for at least one side of the fight."
―Rinetta Gan and L3-37[1]

The Millennium Falcon evaded Ne'eda's Stalwarts using a Mustafarian Special.

The Mustafarian Special was a starfighter maneuver used by the smuggler Lando Calrissian and his droid first mate L3-37 in their starship, the Millennium Falcon. It involved engaging half of a vessel's sublight engines at the highest power possible, which drove the starship into a spiral. Calrissian and L3-37 utilized a Mustafarian Special to evade forces of Ne'eda's Stalwarts above Hynestia.[1]

The maneuver derived its name from the planet Mustafar,[1] an unstable, fiery world affiliated with the Techno Union's mining operations,[2] the Black Sun criminal syndicate,[3] and Sith who sought eternal life.[2]
