Aren't British film sets always burning down? Though Wiki tells me this:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Falcon

"No new models or sets were created for Return of the Jedi. A portion of the full-scale ship was used for a scene cut from Return of the Jedi "

 

possibly because the original fullish scale model:

 

"weighed over 25 tons and used compressed air hover pads for movement around the set."
