Yes, we know this has basically nothing at all to do with automobiles, but it’s the freaking Millennium Falcon.
When word came that Hollywood auteur J.J. Abrams would helm Star Wars: Episode VII, the forthcoming initial installment in the extended-anticipated sequel trilogy, the series’ fans were concerned that he may well rely too heavily on digital sleight of hand to re-create some of the film series’ most iconic automobiles and characters. But Abrams seems to be adhering to the spirit of the original films: Pictures leaked from a U.K. soundstage and published to TMZ show what seems to be a full-scale reproduction of the Millennium Falcon in the middle of construction. Contemplating that a number of of the original cast members are returning for SW: EVII, it only tends to make sense that the Falcon would, too.
Also of interest: The pictures show a partially completed starfighter that bears resemblance to the Z-95 Headhunter/X-wing family members. Although it has 4 guns like the X-wing, they appear to be mounted on a single pair of wings. Whatever it turns out to be, it is clearly an Incom style.
The original 1977 Star Wars utilised scale models to portray the full Millennium Falcon and life-size sections for interior scenes it wasn’t until the second film, The Empire Strikes Back, that a total Falcon was developed in an aircraft hangar in Wales. 6ty feet in diameter and weighing 23 tons, the Corellian freighter was constructed with a steel frame and balsa-wood exterior. In these spy shots, a variety of materials, which includes foam, fiberglass, and aluminum, are strewn about the hangar, but it is not quickly clear what will be used to skin the new Falcon.
Whilst most people are properly conscious that the series is fictional—the jury is still out on a handful of fans in our office—surely even the most difficult-core vehicle geeks can appreciate the craftsmanship involved and the production’s apparent dedication to employing old-school specific effects. Those curious about whether or not the Millennium Falcon can nonetheless make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs will have to wait until Episode VII hits the massive screen on December 18, 2015.
