This has been discussed somewhere recently and someone said that they 3D scanned the models into a computer and then used that, at least in Episode 3.

Ehhhhhhhhhh, they might have scanned the maquettes to use as a basis for the CG characters but I can't see them scanning entire miniatures.

It's not like they are too big to be laser scanned. Mount Rushmore was laser scanned a few years back.

If the Falcon and any other classic ships are coming back, that would be the best way to make sure they look right in CGI.
