I don’t have any evidence but to me, Beggar’s Canyon in the latest episode looks like a new miniature that’s just very accurate to the original version.
These two actually look quite different to me. Yes, the camera angle, FOV and lighting is different, but the rock faces look very different–i.e. the cracks and striations don’t match. They either went all out and made a new miniature for just this scene, or it’s a very good, nut not identical, CG model or digital matte painting.
I said that the set in the episode was “very accurate”, then found the comparison image, and realised after looking at it closely it actually wasn’t all that accurate at all (although definitely meant to be the same place).
It makes sense to me because over 40 years have passed since we saw the same location in TPM. Some things like the cracks being different can’t be easily explained, but different houses and differences nearly the tops of the rocks can probably be attributed to rebuilding and rock erosion I would imagine. Either way, it isn’t a big deal.
I also think this looks like a miniature set, which is impressive. I hope we get a behind the scenes feature for TBOBF like we did the mando seasons.
Bit odd, from a lore perspective thst is, that the rock walls would change in 40 years but no one bothered to fix the gate or pick up the broken pieces.
Having said that, I’m not really a stickler for minutae, I think it’s a cool recreation either way.
The difference in rrock texture is actually the biggest evidence for this being a miniature, as its easier to just knock out these shapes than it is to spent time and money on carving them in exact shapes. The houses though I think are much more accurat, but the change in angle and FOV makes it hard to perfectly compare them
