Death Star Plans

[DylanRose]

Well this is a must.

It's not 100% confirmed that those are the plans, but thanks to this tie-in from the toys merchandising campaign it seems very likely that those are the death star plans. So lets start collecting plans for the death star plans!

Looks a lot like an oversized hard disk to me. Which makes sense

Looks like stolen data tapes to me! Would love to have a set of these.

Looks like a beautiful piece for the collection mwuahhaha......

Definitely thought that's something I'd like to own as soon as it appeared. Shouldn't be too hard to recreate once we get some good images and we all put out heads together. [emoji106]

this is a must have for me as well

Kind of reminds me of a old school tape recorder in shape with the handle.

It seems to me to be a mix of a tape recorder with an old hard drive case to it. I tried a quick mock up with my 3D program and I get the following results:

outer side and inner side

Still I think that there is more details to be added (screws, bevels on some of the edges, etc) but It's not a bad little design.

Leia is seen with some sort of data disc of sorts, giving it to R2.

I thought that the first time we see Leia in ANH, she is recording the last second of her message to Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The message included "I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit.", which would mean that it was already loaded into the droid itself.
Because the Empire couldn't find the data, it is likely that any intermediate storage media on board the Tantive IV must have been erased or destroyed - if there had been any in the first place.

Here's a picture of one of the sides:



Side note: Cassian Andor's flap is very Luke-esque, and that helmet the trooper is wearing looks like it's based on the M1 helmet.

The relevant bit of dialog for this prop is :

"Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes"

Man-- data storage in the SW universe is all over the place. Dooku takes the plans on an iPhone, they end up on a brick hard drive, and Leia manages to transfer it onto floppies.

Plus they can "beam" plans using "several transmissions" and also transmit full 3d holograms across the galaxy with zero latency but to get said plans to the Rebels they have to be on a physical storage media?

I see no problems here... I mean the other day a friend of mine brought a movie over to me on her portable hard drive.

I moved it onto my laptop, then from there moved it to another friend's drop box.

Then yesterday I took my laptop to the studio to watch at my desk while I worked.. but then realized I wanted to watch it on a bigger TV, so went into the editing suit, pulled out my keychain which has a 68 gig flashdrive on it, moved it onto there, then plugged it into the editing suites computer.

A guy walked in and asked if he could have a copy... I told him to bring me a flash drive, and he asked if I could just burn it to a blu-ray for him.

All this for one flick.

Ya and this is the same universe where this is all you need to survive inside a space slug, on an asteroid, in an asteroid field, in space.

I'm just gonna go with the theory that this data was too sensitive to keep in the cloud. Big hard-drive is better :thumbsup

Wow that is a great image. [emoji106]
