Nothing in the PT came close to this.

I agree.
The MF was a souped-up hot-rod, that reminded us of a car- and Han Solo reminded us of a guy who would drive a car like that, always boasting (and sometimes exaggerating) about what it could do.
We grew to love it like Han did- who didn't wince when it's dish got clipped off in ROTJ?!
