Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Just noticed that one of the XWings looks a bit 2D:

Long distance forced perspective shot similar to this. One full scale set piece, three plywood silhouettes.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Just realized the ANH cardboard backdrop X-Wing matches the Fine Mold X-Wing weird canopy shape.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

Regarding the x wing., I like the look. But those engines don't look like they separate. It looks like the wings rotate on the engines. Opened, it would look kind of weird to me, but would have the same proportions as the arc starfighters from rots

I agree these full scale set pieces look that way but I think it's just a function of a small detail item they just didn't include in the manufacturing. I think the wings will X in the traditional manner, it's so derivative of the McQuarrie design which has the exact same engines.

First time I've seen the new dish on the set piece. I'm still on the fence.

This is another of those "it's been thirty years; some things have inevitably changed" scenarios... We can be happy that 99% of the Falcon is there! I honestly don't think it's bad at all; just something else Han has added to his list of modifications.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

I think I'm with you there. I've been over the moon looking at these new images, and this new set piece. If my only gripe is that I'm "not so sure" about the dish (especially considering what happened to the enterprise...) then that's cause to celebrate.

Yeah, it could be far worse; like no Episode VII at all! I'll gladly take the rectangular dish!

The dish worked in the 70's. Now it's kinda silly. Just saying.

I never noticed this before. You sir, have just ruined movie magic for me. Now I will forever see a cardboard x-wing behind Luke's everytime I watch it. HAHA just kidding.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

The Square dish bothered me at first, but it's definitely growing on me. I just hope they don't actually verbally acknowledge it ... that would be just too cheesy and an insult to all us obsessive, detail-oriented SW Fans!!

I've always hoped they'd do something like that

Yeah, dishes are so 70s, it's all about cable these days.

4G. Han's trying to have a conversation with Leia while she's ignoring him and cruising Facebook on her phone. Totally up to date!

Simon Pegg did an AMA on Reddit this afternoon, confirming his involvement in JJ Wars.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

If a MF dish is all we're griping about right now I'd say we're in good shape overall

Loving everything i'm seeing so far and completely agree that some things will have inevitably changed. Technologies change rapidly! Good thing Han Solo didn't have an iPhone in Episode VI. People would be P.O.ed that he would now have the updated iPhone 30.

No I'm still griping about the iTrooper helmet. They better be adding something to the front of it.

or better yet, scrap the whole crap design

Re: Star Wars Episode VII

I actually wish he would more to the falcon. I think it's reasonable to assume that after Jedi, Han's status improved. He was a general. He would probably have the opportunity to do more than simply slap a used aftermarket radar dish on top.

Fix the hull. Get it cleaned. Eliminate the need for a radar dish. This thing is a museum piece now
