Has there always been a light right beside the landing ramp?

Well since ESB anyway

I feel like a grumpy old man for wishing they'd have fixed 1) the scale and 2) the boarding ramp letting off in the middle of the central gun well. :rolleyes

Very cool! I like that it does look like he's kept on modifying it. Does anyone know if they built a full size Falcon? That set looks like it.

The cover pic is ILM magic. It's not the real set.

In other news, Oscar Issac says of the leaked details and rumors, “I don’t think these little leaks necessarily ruined watching the trailer. And also, the [plot theories] that get formulated based on these things — they couldn’t be more far off-base.”

Not sure which specific theories and rumors he's seen to be saying that about, but it reminds me not to put too much credence in all the speculation thus far...

Just mucking

Wanna "muck" one in that black/orange color?

Have seen a few misconceptions around the Iger image- I personally (as a professional VFX artist) believe that that is a real set and ILM's involvment in this particular image was 'merely' compositing the Iger photo (shot in NY) with the on set shot (and possibly tweaking the backdrop). The image description even reads "[Iger, shot in NY]...with Millennium Falcon in Pinewoods Studio, Buckinghamshire, England,"

The article talks up the 'secretive' ILM magic but all the 'wireframe skeleton + layered textured render' talk refers to the cover image.

 

[glunark]

I just wish the pinewood shot was about six times bigger.

Sooo nice to see the MF on set!

The new Falcon radar dish looks exactly like the Rebel Blockade runners from ANH.

Hadn't stopped to make the connection but you are so right! It now makes good sense.

Maybe Han found the tantative IV in an old mothballed star destroyer, and salvaged the dish so the falcon could have something of Liea's in it too.

The Corvette and YT-1300 are both manufactured by Corellian Engineering Corp so maybe the parts are plug and play.

As long as it's not the bloody Sunderd Heart!

 

[Wolfsburg]

Here, here!

Anyway, I knew the dish looked similar but didn't realize it was practically identical. How does the scale work out? I imagine the corvette's dish would be somewhat larger?

i defend GL's creative choices, but that particular one seems very confused. How many Blockade runners does Bail have?! I think the dish would be the same size if you compare the corvette to the Falcon.

And probably her original dress from the Death Star rescue... :lol

When the blockade runner model was originally made to be the MF, yes. But it was subsequently rescaled when it became the blockade runner, so no, the blockade runner dish would be WAY bigger than the one on the Falcon.
