A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments

so, in other words,

Pretty much.

here have some size comparison

Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:

(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)

TLDR: The Millennium Falcon is pretty dinky, so I propose *true weed bus status* goes to the excellent smuggling ships of Serenity and La Sirena. The Falcon is herby demoted to man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun

(to be clear the monkey is Solo)

This is the analysis I am here for

I would like to suggest a slightly different set of vehicles for this analogy.

The Falcon is definitely more than a bicycle, simply because of how modded and souped up it is (even if half the shit breaks every other week). And there is definitely a car that frequently fits this bill:

the humble Honda Civic, beloved by both drag racers and drift racers for being durable as fuck and easy to mod with a Much Bigger Engine Than Is Safe.

Now, I do see your point about the VW van, but the stereotype there is a bit off. Instead, Serenity and La Sirena should be something more like these:

They’re a bit bigger than the old VS buses, and they last longer with less effort. I know someone who still has one and it’s more or less in working condition. There’s usually a bed over the cab, a small kitchenette with a booth that can be folded down into a second bed, and they can be hooked up to water, sewer, and electric.

And in this modern comparison, the Enterprise’s nearest comparison is still her namesake:
