SO the boy got home, and saw the Falcon, and immediately any thought of me not finishing it tonight went out the window.  And therefore:

This is the end of bag five.  Bag Six, mostly concerned with building out the middle section of the Falcon.Bag seven.  Most of this was actually underneath the ship, putting in the belly gun and landing gear.  Bag Eight, AKA “Build this exact same thing a whole bunch of times.”

And the completed Falcon.You can fit two minifigures in the cockpit, at least barely.  Rey and Han are piloting.And the top blooms out to reveal the inside.  Hi, BB-8!Cooool.

Random bits that were left, and the Lego Separator, which I’ve never used.  I took a bunch of them and just sprinkled them around the outside of the ship, especially the bright red circle bits.  I don’t know why these were extra, as I didn’t miss anything.  I swear.  The extra missile is good, as the two missiles fire unexpectedly far and they’re going to get lost soon.  The rest?  Whatever, I’ll throw them in with the rest of the Legos.
