I'd tap that Jedi Master (on the shoulder and tell him my 'friend' doesn't like him).

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

IMO, those "Star Destroyer" walls look more like the hallways in Grievous' ship at the beginning of ROTS. Imperial hallways usually looked more flat and simple.

Remember when people said Hamill would look like shit for the ST? Well, guess what, he looks perfect. Couldn't ask for anything better, even more excited now.

Seeing him as an older wiser Luke is a dream come true. Weird Al's prophecy is coming to pass.

Yep, its great to see how much work theyve put into the Falcon,......Ep8, Ep9,.........

Mark Hamill looks so cool

Wow... I got goosebumps just by how awesome Hamill looks in that pose. His beard, his hair, his physique... could not imagine him looking any better than that - very happy for him and his success!

Now where's some very recent pics of Carrie? Is she next and ready to prove everyone wrong that she can still look good wearing the golden bikini? ;)

 I'd like to see Mark punch the nose of everyone who has said something like "The OT cast is too old to carry a Star Wars film." He already looks a more interesting character than the cast of the PT or any of the new cast I've seen.

Also, I can only imagine Skipps' voice coming from him in that pic!

I know I'm probably killing the buzz but is it just me or does this actually look terrible?

Ever imagined what is on that wall in the Falcon? Turns out just some random wires that we glued to a piece of black MDF.

Compare it to the detailing on the rest of the OT Falcon. Everything looks designed, substantial, densely packed and functional:

If I'd dressed that back part of the cockpit, I'd consider it a bad day at the office.

By the way, forgive me if this wall was actually modeled for the OT and it always looked this bad (Probably why the camera didn't dwell on it then).

Yeah I never understood why anyone would be so pessimistic about the "big three". Of course everyone will look great and do well for their character.

It would be cool, in the movie, to catch a glimpse of the cockpit's entry way from that rear perspective, just for simply seeing something different in the MF. Maybe that paneling was still a WIP when that pic was taken, but I'm not bothered by it if that is how it will be.

 It's also possible that's the real wiring for the lights and effects in the cockpit and the paneling has been removed between takes, or wasn't finished yet when the photo was taken.

It actually reminds me of a behind the scenes photo I once saw of the wiring for the original Enterprise bridge.

More Falcon interior photos.  Supposedly, the set wasn't 100% completed when the photos were taken.

 Some images of the OT wall:

Personally I don't have a problem with the wiring on the wall, you'd probably get a glimpse of it in the film (or one of the films) or not at all.

I'm glad theyre giving us a fully dressed Falcon interior that can fit inside the filming prop.

.....I wonder if there'll be a shot out of the cockpit window where we can see the mandible

Hell yes mandible shot!

Those photos are great to see Jaitea, good finds! So it doesn't match the OT prop then, which I'm actually happy about. A "hunk-a-junk" like the Falcon would have all kinds of different bodges after a couple of decades.

Also nice comparison SilverWook. Those silver tubes match the style very well. There just isn't enough variety in on those back panels though IMO.

 Those ^ photos are clearly nowhere near finished. So maybe the earlier ones aren't finished either. I'm gonna hope that :-)

Also worth keeping in mind Han was always tweaking the Falcon, so there's thirty years' worth of modifications and patches since we last saw her.

Stuff that would make any proper shipyard tech faint from fright that this old crate is even flying. ;)

I'm actually surprised (and glad, of course) the Falcon is still around 30 years after the OT considering what Han and Lando put it through before and during the OT. ;-)

 That would be cool, I really hope so.

Lol, me too. As Silverwook and Ryan said, Han is always making modifications and fixes on his baby.

It's also possible it's been sitting in a museum for a while. (It's about the only ship to have survived both Death Star battles.) Maybe Han has to recruit a bunch of oddball characters to "borrow" it. ;)

All this talk about the Millennium Falcon, and I think we've forgotten all the iconic craft from the PT that I'm sure we're all waiting with bated breath to see in the ST.

I can't wait to see...

Is that boat supposed to look like what I think it looks like?  Was this a subliminal message?

The subliminal message is that Georgie-boy is such a piss-poor world-builder that even when he hires a team to design a romantic Venetian/Florentine city with organic, old-world baroque elements, he still has this perverse hang-up that all "vehicles" have to look campy-futuristic.  He never considers that maybe the gondolas in space Venice would have the same aesthetic as the city, rather than
