I've always wondered why the Millenium Falcon looks like the way it does.  Why was the cockpit on the side and has a fork front?  This picture, which is doing the rounds today on Imgur and Reddit explains it.  It's a freight pusher.  Those freights are the most common ones used in the Star Wars universe.  Now I know why the Falcon had so little cargo space.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure if this is canon but it does explain a lot.  Can anyone verify this?

Here's an Imperial Cargo Ship doing the same transportation.
