About
Millennial Falcon is an advice animal image macro series featuring a picture of a hawking falcon, with captions voicing the issues facing Millennials. The name of the macro is a pun on the name of Han Solo's spacecraft, the Millennium Falcon, from Star Wars.
Origin
The image came from a picture of a peregrine falcon.[1] The first Millennial Falcon post (pictured below) appeared on the image sharing website Imgur on January 10th, 2017, from ChrisDurpaderpherp[2] who posted both an example of the meme and the template. The post quickly brought in almost 221,000 views and around 5,000 upvotes (shown below).
