Hey guys, just noticed in this pic (bottom right corner) there was a big Falcon under construction (or at least a portion of it, there's an AT-AT hull on it).
Does anyone have more info about that ? Pic of the finished model ? Where it was used in the movie ? (maybe when Luke escapes from the Cloud City)
I would love to know more about it !!
when lando comes up through the hatch maybe?,
Agh, beat me to it! I just saw that page last night!In the Making of ESB book, there's more image in the photo, and you can see unfinished work on one of the equipment bays.
Yeah, the only thing I can think of is the hatch shot. Too bad the model is apparently gone (it's never shown up in Archive photos).
Why would they use a model for the hatch shot when they had the full size Falcon for that film? They also had a partial set with the Falcon's dish:

Puppet man rises out of hatch...to lay down some serious storyboard wisdom and settle that debate once and for all.
Nice!
I wonder if this is the hatch every one wondering about (image came from starwars.com)
Very cool pic Aurora. I've never seen that one before.
On one hand the hatch is actually big enough for both Luke and Lando to pass through (unlike the one in the film). But that detail is way off.
Compare to final
Yup, shadowman's image shows the miniature Lando figure.
Somebody alert Hasbro they have a new action figure they can make: Puppet Man.
So that's a puppet Lando and not Billy D?
