Re: Bandai 1/72 Millennium Falcon
Since VCRs didn't even exist back then, my friends and I just collected everything. Clippings from magazines (Starlog was the go-to source), Topps cards, etc. The novelization mentioned a door on the cockpit and I thought, "There's no door that closes in the cockpit," but then I saw the movie and, boom, there was suddenly a door. I also remember a fierce "debate" (i.e. nerd fight) with my friends about how things like the door were evidence of TESB sucking. Seriously. It amuses me when people now talk about how TESB is universally hailed as "the best" when I remember a LOT of complaints and criticism at the time about how the movie was not as good as ANH. Had there been a RedLetter Media back at the time, you can bet they would've made a snarky video complaining about the film's "flaws." The door was one of those nitpicky things some of my friends considered a continuity error because "it wasn't in the first movie!!!" lol

It tortures you to death with typos! :lol
I find that amazing. Maybe I was too young (I saw ANH +ESB at a double feature in 1982 at age 6) but there was so little source material back then to recognize details. They played star wars like, once a year on tv. Although I was obsessed with it, I rarely got to see it
