Awesome Full-scale Milliennium Falcon pics!

[Mike DiCenso]

Found some pics of the full-scale set for The Force Awakens of everyone's favorite freighter that was built for the movie:

A side view of the set, unfortunately the Disney exec is not standing at the foot of the ramp to help give a better sense of scale, but the set is obviously a full one:

An amazing near overhead outdoors view of just less than half of the set built up:

The second one is amazing since we have an X-wing full scale model nearby (still in protective wrap) as this gives us a fairly good way to scale the Falcon against a well-known starfighter (the X-wing). With a 12 meter length for an X-wing and the Falcon just under half built, but the skeletal frame in place, I make the Falcon out to be at least 25 m long.

Say what you like about J.J., but at least he knows that actors act best when running around real sets and holding actual props, not with a tennis ball on sticks and bland green screen stage.

I wonder if they built the small version as in TESB with the shrunk cockpit.
There's like a rush of memories from B²'s pages about all the issues there were about the sets. I wonder if the production used his Millennium Falcon pages to analyze the ancient problems and circumvent them.

So far it looks to be a near identical replica of the TESB Falcon in both detail and dimensions. I just hope that after all of the third trilogy's movies are finished, they don't destroy it like was done with the original.
