Unrelated to most of that, it is interesting where the live action, matte and model shots line up, as made obvious in Mike’s video https://vimeo.com/120340364 when there’s so much more of the ship/set built than is apparently used in that shot. It is amazing and confusing to me why they’d mostly just use the live action cockpit and fudge the rest of the ship, rather than only overlaying the unbuilt portion (assuming, even, that they didn’t build more of the ship after this picture was taken). And with that gaping hole in the ground, this is obviously destined to be the Death Star hanger… Anyone privy to the reasoning behind what was live and what was not?
