Definitive ANH Falcon Interior

[Richard Baker]

So, does SOLO change anybody's thoughts regarding the general interior layout of the Falcon?

Apparently there are even more rooms sticking out through the hull

I've spotted this in the following website:

How 'Star Wars' Filmmakers Built the Millennium Falcon

The epic history of the biggest piece of junk in the galaxy.

Is this blueprint well known?

Yes, those blueprints have been floating around the web in low-rez form for a while. A couple of comments about them.

- The first two drawings are not "Episode IV blueprints". They were drawn up after the film was made, and attempt to show how the interior set would fit inside the exterior. The date is a giveaway - they were drawn in 1978.
- The third drawing is a real set blueprint, but isn't from Episode IV either. It's the interior set blueprint for Episode V - the Empire Strikes Back. That only matters because the ESB/V interior set was larger than the ANH/IV set.

One interesting trivia note - there is a storyboard later down the page showing the Falcon in the Death Star bay. It's labelled "Disney" at the top, which may confuse people. In fact, Disney had nothing to do with Star Wars at all. The reference is Harrison Ellenshaw, who did a number of matte paintings for the first film. He was on loan, as it were, from Disney at the time.

You seem to be very knowledgable about blueprints. Are there any of the Interior Hold of the Falcon, from ANH, available somewhere?

whoa... this one is news to me. I've seen the blueprints of the opposite side of the main hold for ESB, where the holochess set is, but I had to extrapolate the beams and doorways shown in this drawing. Thanks!

there are some rough ANH blueprints that I know of, that I think might be posted on this thread waaaaay back near the beginning. But as far as I've been able to tell they aren't very accurate to the real set
