UPDATE! Even More Photos With the Millennium Falcon from the UK!

falcon4_zpsgtbhtwz7

Yesterday we posted photos of some kids trespassing on the Star Wars: Episode VIII set in Surrey, UK. We took the photos down since it was obvious that the boys have committed a crime and we didn’t want to give an example with what they did. Today Peter Mayhew shared even more photos with the Falcon from the set. Since Chewbacca didn’t have a problem with it, we thought it might be okay to share them as well…

 

 


They are indeed great:

And here are the photos from yesterday (via Insane212 from reddit)

It’s very surprising that the set could be accessed so easily.

    I would have hoped for them to go beyond the “force tree” and look at the seemingly Jedi Temple entrance.

    Drones are one thing. Breaking onto a set and climbing all over the Falcon, potentially damaging it, is quite another. Not cool.

    The Falcon is the greatest spaceship design ever. However, they really need to tighten up the security… How could this even happen?

      This white entrance structure is definitely from some other place. It doesn’t fit Ahch-To’s architecture at all.

    While I’m amazed at the detail. I don’t support the actions of these hooligans. Security needs to step up, God forbid something more tragic happens. We do sadly live in time where terrorism is real world concern. This might be all some goat humper needs to start planning something.

        I’m just glad that the Falcon is made from metal instead of paper mache or something like that. It might not have supported their weight otherwise.

    They seemed pretty respectful until they walked on the falcon… You don’t know what will support your weight. Your shoes are scuffing the ship. Just… no. Leave it alone at the point. Observe but don’t damage.

    I feel like they have poor security on their more impressive sets so “leaked photos” can build hype. They wouldn’t want people to leak pictures of a green screen room but a practical Falcon and tree? Those are set pieces they want to reveal.

      I assumed the people at the Resistance Base worked on them in TFA. Looks like they would have been taken out by the crash in the snow but they were intact.

        Crash her on a glacier, bounce her around off the desert hardpan – TFA says the Falcon is now just completely indestructible.

            Even if they’d been up when Rey was bashing the ship around off the ground (they even made a point of saying they weren’t, remember?), what happened to “one more direct hit on the back quarter and we’re done for!”, or “Hear me baby, hold together”, or “this bucket of bolts is never going to get us past that blockade!”? Come on, as much as you like the film, admit it – they wrote some stupid shit involving the Falcon.

            Well, bully for you I suppose, and I’ll take that as your concession on the “shields” claim. Smashing the cockpit off the ground a few times then skipping her like a freaking rock across a glacier just made me go ‘nope’.

            “Fractional”, not “refractional. Which still doesn’t mean anything, and still doesn’t make Han dropping out of lightspeed several hundred meters above the planet MANUALLY any less stupid.

        And let’s explore that a bit too, shall we? In the Jakku escape,the quads are hit by glancing TIE laser fire, and crippled. Leaving aside for the moment that with the quads stuck facing down you can’t land the Falcon without crushing them, how then did slamming off a glacier at near lightspeed, then sliding for a half kilometer along her belly did nothing?

          Maybe they unstuck the guns off-screen?

            Then Kicker2 is wrong. And I’m not sure when they would have had time to do that – they leave the planet, have a self-congratulatory moment, then something starts leaking in the maintenance pit, followed immediately by them being swallowed by Han’s freighter. See? THIS is what I mean when I say it’s best just not to think about anything in TFA too closely – it’s entertaining, but very little of it hangs together past the initial rush onscreen.

        That’s my dream too but I doubt it wil come true considering how dark those stories got, it would be a PT to the PT, and Disney is too scared to even go into that era in the EU material.

      Nope. First appeared posted in a UK urban exploration forum by a long time known member. More recent set of pics from yet another member shows a useless security guard befuddled and looking the wrong way. Security is just that bad.

    Considering the fact that security was absent and Peter Mayhew was the one who tweeted these pictures, I can’t help but have a sneaking suspicion that Disney may have wanted these pictures to leak. It drums up hype and shows off all the real sets, practical effects.

      Lucasfilm controls more than Disney, Disney may own the company but they let Lucasfilm run the Star Wars part. If you don’t agree with that, argue with Lucasfilm’s Pablo Hidalgo on twitter. Because that’s basically what he told me.

      Depends on how you define it I suppose. ANH of course had the half-Falcon, ESB had the full ship, but roughly 2/3 scale, RotJ had half of that set reassembled. Problem is this “full-scale” Falcon still isn’t big enough to accommodate the main hold set, nor properly accommodate the cockpit and cockpit hallway or the boarding ramp area.

    …not to be “that guy” but didn’t they get the front of the mandibles slightly wrong? and the docking rings on the sides don’t have the slight tapering or the right detailing … probably a lot more… just first observations

      Mandibles are indeed wrong – should toe-in slightly. The jawbox is also wrong. No worries, based on what little BTS stuff they showed off for TFA, it looks like ILM just ends up replacing the thing with the digital asset anyways.
