Just saw Solo. Forgive me if this has been covered, but wasn’t the Millennium Falcon shown in Revenge of the Sith sporting a traditional (if not as beaten up as in the OT) exterior?
There were a few ships of the same model (and it is a modular-type range of ship) shown in ROTS - I wouldn’t be surprised if George or someone at Lucasfilm said something along the lines of ‘yeah, sure - that could’ve been the Falcon if you want it to be’ etc - though I don’t think there was anything official stating it definitely was?
There were, of course, also a few other ‘easter egg’ type references in the Prequels too. It probably rhymes or something 😉
