whoa that is super weird. Hard to tell but I think it's maybe an optical illusion, maybe lens distortion? Check out the clip

and the chair slides over as Chewie leans in.
I really wish there was a clear shot of the chair pedestal they used in the OT. As you said, camera angles, distortions, etc... Frustrating!

Well, it IS a movie set. They don't live in the same reality as we do. They just need to make things work, like a moving chair that never moved before or an interior that doesn't fit inside the exterior.
We're way nerdier than set builders. We have the luxury of time and space. They only have to meet deadlines and stay within the frame.
Hey K,
I couldn't have said it better myself!

Okay, the soft glow coils sold me :lol Are completely set on a colour for them? I kinda liked the orangey yellow better than the red personally
Hey dDWw,
I really liked the orange glow as well. And what a difference just a tiny amount of illumination can make! Brought the entire coil to life!

wow, huge update, getting there. Love these touches of red
Hey OC,
Thanks so much! I'm hoping there isn't too much red.

I am still in awe about each and every update!
Is this a FULLTIME project? What are you guys doing for a living?
You have to post some comparsion pictures of your and the screenused cockpit at some point...pretty please
Hey O,
Thank you very much! I appreciate the continued support. The project is only a part time adventure. A majority of the work you see is being done on the weekends. But things are getting ready to change VERY soon. The goal is to have this finished before EP VIII! I think we can do it!
I'll post some comparo pics of the ESB cockpit and ours. I'll try to get the same angles and color/BW
