Re: 1:1 Millennium Falcon Console Replica
Hey Red,
We're going for screen accuracy (as close as we can). The original yokes (added before filming ESB) actually went all the way to the floor. I can only assume they were removed due to space and the difficulties getting in and out of the pilots/co pilot chairs - Peter Mayhew isn't a little guy. So, they moved them to the edge of the console panel.
I'm sure you've seen this pic - second one down

The image Davey Jones posted shows the final versions of the yokes - BEST image so far

I know it's not canonical, but those yokes need steering columns. They look incredibly awkward jutting out of the dashboard, with no pipes or cables leading down underneath.
