peter Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 They built a 1:1 scale complete mockup of the Falcon. Count on it getting a lot of screen time. Just hope they don't blow it up at the end. Quote

taksraven Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 and all of the messy/weird relativity to time/energy usage/etc... Heh. Relativity is ALWAYS ignored in mainstream SF. Too bad as well, it would be interesting. Quote
Mommar Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Heh. Relativity is ALWAYS ignored in mainstream SF. Too bad as well, it would be interesting. The point being that in this instance they're trying to FORCE relativity when it isn't applicable due to the fact they aren't in normal space when passing the speed of light. They're taking the approach that utilizing the smugglers route through the Maw will take a ship twenty to fourty years and that these smugglers are planning to smuggle stuff forty years into the future. That's just the dumbest premise to start with, and the conclusion is that Han is actually older than Yoda... Quote
mickyg Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Not Yoda. Older he is, than Obiwan. Yes... I think it also mentioned the emperor. But I don't recall it talking about Yoda. Edited September 10, 2014 by mickyg Quote
myk Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Just hope they don't blow it up at the end. Well if they DO blow it up, there better be one of those fancy colorful explosion rings expanding from it like there was from the exploding Death Star in the special edition 'ep 4... Quote
Mommar Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Well if they DO blow it up, there better be one of those fancy colorful explosion rings expanding from it like there was from the exploding Death Star in the special edition 'ep 4... Only if they add a shockwave from EVERY ship that explodes, ever. Quote
myk Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Only if they add a shockwave from EVERY ship that explodes, ever. HMMM.... Excellent point. How much you wanna bet that Lucas and friends are already planning to add those explosion rings for another round of Special Edition re-releases lol... Quote
CoreyD Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted yet? I love the totally unnecessary arrows... http://i1.wp.com/makingstarwars.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Falcon-Xwing-LArge.jpg Quote

renegadeleader1 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Nice to know this film has better surveilance coverage than the Cuban Missile Crisis. Quote
Knight26 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Hmm, only half a Falcon, I thought they build the whole thing. Quote
azrael Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Hmm, only half a Falcon, I thought they build the whole thing. Either it's an early-stage build or they broke it down to make it easier to film whatever scenes they are using it for. Quote
electric indigo Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 The Falcon's mandible has no toe-in, millions of fans will be in a rage about this... Quote
Dobber Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 The Falcon's mandible has no toe-in, millions of fans will be in a rage about this... LMAO!! You got that right! Lol! Chris Quote
wm cheng Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 The Falcon's mandible has no toe-in, millions of fans will be in a rage about this... LMAO!! You got that right! Lol! Chris Oh, a reason to NOT have to modify the FMMF kit... (procrastination pays off again!) Quote
peter Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I just looked up the mandible toe-in issue, so it's supposed to be there right? It sort of looks like it's toed in, no? Quote
PetarB Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 It sort of looks like it's toed in, no? And just like that, I suddenly, I feel like I'm on Starship Modeler forums again.... I really should finish my own FMMF soon. I'm currently lighting it. I have a feeling it won't last that long in the new series. Frankly, I cannot wait to see some new spaceship designs. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Those spy pictures need lens flare. -b. Quote
Duke Togo Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Dollars to donuts that's just a shell for a scene. I doubt that's the 1:1 scale they have built at Pinewood. Quote
peter Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Dollars to donuts that's just a shell for a scene. I doubt that's the 1:1 scale they have built at Pinewood. Think so? They mocked up two 1/1 scale MFs? I wonder what Abrams thinks about the fan-build 1/1 scale Falcon...... Quote
Dynaman Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Think so? They mocked up two 1/1 scale MFs? I wonder what Abrams thinks about the fan-build 1/1 scale Falcon...... I doubt that scaffolding is for a full size mockup - there is scaffolding where there should be no Falcon (between where the front protrusions are). If that scaffolding was for a full scale Falcon that particular bit would not be there. Having more then one full size models (or bits of models) is not unusual either. It allows one to be damaged for example. Quote
troyness Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 My prediction: Han's & Leia's children will use the Falcon for all that screen time. Can't imagine 70 yr old Han flying around getting into smuggling adventures.Perhaps Han will use it at some point in the movie as a salute to fans (most likely in the beginning of the movie) before passing the torch.."Look after the old "bucket of bolts" for me kids"...said Han behind his Admiral desk."No screwing around!"

Black Valkyrie Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Mark Ruffalo wants to be in STAR WARS ! Quote
troyness Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 And then promptly lose it in a game of sabbacc. Which will be the incentive for Han to leave his desk job "one last time" .Lol I could see Mark in SW! I don't think any Hulk actor has been typecast yet..Go Mark! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Anger leads to the dark side... Quote
troyness Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Anger leads to the dark side... Great timing sir LOL...Nobody likes an angry Mark. Quote
Retracting Head Ter Ter Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Well, no more Yoda so the need some other green thing in there I guess? A Hulk Yoda should be fun no? Angry, am I. Smash! I will! Edited September 12, 2014 by Retracting Head Ter Ter Quote

Kelsain Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Yeah, those are the new ones. I'm liking them more & more! Quote
myk Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I'd love to have those fighters in the FX scale of the original X wings... Quote
