Re: FS Millenium Falcon Cockpit from ANH
My mistake...in my line of work, FS=Full Scale.
Now that we have all that cleared up, however...any thoughts?

:lol Don, you're gonna get a lot of fanboys all hot and bothered with this thread title. You might wanna edit it to read "1:1 screen-used ANH Millennium Falcon Cockpit question" or something like that.

ps~I do have a related question. Do you know if the ANH cockpit was scrapped after shooting, or was it preserved, and then enhanced to become the more detailed/more flashy cockpit interior we see in ESB?

I believe I edited it now to read "FULL SCALE"...if it's not showing up that way, please let me know what I need to do to stop the confusion.
I apologize to everyone who's dreams were dashed...
To the best of my knowledge (which is pretty insignificant in comparison to the brain trust that appears to make up this board), it was scrapped and rebuilt for ESB. The original blueprints of the Falcon in the Archives have two title blocks: One that says "The Star Wars" (for ANH) and then another one titled "Empire Strikes Back" for "Chapter II Productions". It appears they simply took the original blueprints, retitled them, perhaps made notes where necessary, and then used them again for ESB. Of course, new ones were drawn for sets/parts created specifically for ESB. And, you'll be happy to know, they all appear to exist.

(Yup, the edited title is there now.)
I wonder who built this cockpit then, for the Holiday Special in the fall of '78? Was it ILM, or the ABC (or CBS or NBC--I forget who aired it) set department who built it? It's been a while since I've watched the special, but from this pic it looks pretty bare bones, and not even quite full scale.

Possibly PM the guy who started this thread as he has the correct seats which were modified for filming. Sorry the pics are taken down as the thread is old http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=14823&highlight=martin+baker
Hope this helps

The levers that Han pulls down when ever the Falcon goes into hyperspace are also the pistons on C-3PO's knees, I'm pretty sure.
I also agree with with mverta on the upside down R2-D2 holos.

I have heard rumors that it was modeled after a Handley Page Victor cockpit.

It is quite possible they used parts directly from that aircraft/variants or similar aircraft like the Avro Vulcan.
