Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I actually popped over to the location yesterday to have a look, unfortunately they had blanked out the perimeter fence so couldn't spot the Falcon. I could just make out the tops of the two radar dishes to the lower left of the black X-wing. Interesting to note I spotted some large roots on one of the silo entrances which would have to be set dressing, so I was wondering wether this was a forest setting and they were going to add trees in later? It was cool to hear 'Camera ready? Action! No, no, let's go again!' coming over a loud hailer...

The guns they are holding look a lot like Rebel Blasters (perhaps a little longer)

Anyone else notice the new black x-wing appears to have Red-5 markings on the wings?

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
The handles look like they are in the center...
I REALLY want to see the new standard troops AND their blasters ...
I really hope they pull off a new iconic look... But I'm starting to feel I need to accept that the troops and weapons may not meet old school expectations.
Let's not forget flippy phasers in new trek...
If we set the bar low... We won't be disappointed... Right?

With all due respect, I don't think it's too challenging to give the creative team of Ep.7 a little leeway to update and put a new spin on the look of in universe items 30 years after the last film.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Not really, there was actually a good bit of scale models used in the PT, Ep. 1 in particular. And just because they're going to be using more practical effects in Ep. VII doesn't necessarily mean that there's going to be a lot of scale model work unless it's large 1:1 scale models. For most, if not all, scenes involving moving craft, esp. space craft, that involve live actors interacting directly with them will almost certainly be CG, it's just quicker, easier, and more flexible to do those scenes on the computer than you can with a scale model. With a 3D model you're no longer limited on the angles you can shoot a model at because of the rig holding the model in place or where you can place your camera or how you can move it.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I hear you!
What I mean, though, is that finally, after all this time, putting together a Star Wars model will be like a trip down memory lane. I tried to get that feeling with the prequel models that were offered, but they just didn't work. :/
^^This is what I mean!
