A thought on Sidekicks

Was talking with some friends today about how to run Star Wars using HeroQuest. It dawned on me that the Millenium Falcon in HeroQuest terms, could be expressed as a Sidekick with the following abilities:

Temperamental
Fastest Hunk of Junk in the Galaxy
Still has a few surprises
Made the Kessel Run in Less than 12 Parsecs Twin quad turret mounted anti-starfighter cannons Concussion Missile Racks

Or something.

THoughts? It seems like anything with a distinct personality, which is important to a PC, but not a PC in it's own right could be expressed this way.
