 Before the Millenium Falcon leaves for the final battle with the  Death Star, Han says, "I just got a funny feeling, like Im not  gonna see her again." This would seem to foreshadow the Falcons  demise in battle. But it doesnt. Researchers have looked into the  matter from the first scripts of this movie, and have found that in  all drafts of the script, Lando and the Falcon survive. All claims  that the Falcon would not survive are urban legends, forgeries, or  mistaken assumptions.
