ohmygod that Yoda, though

Hah.

And I was at home last night staring at the Christmas tree. My wife has a hedgehog ornament hanging and I was thinking "why does that remind me of Donald Trump? Where have I seen that before?"

Now, I just realize it's from bune's avatar.

not a meme, but we need to talk about this. This is important.

The original concept was the cockpit would stay in position and the ship could turn on an axis. There’s even a rail around the cockpit in the finished design both on the 3 foot and 5 foot models they used in the films. They never showed it working though

See the dark grey ring?

Didn’t they end up using that concept on the B-Wings?

oh yeah I think I heard about that once. It's pretty cool that they thought about that, though I never noticed.

The very one.

They could show it working in the new films on the exterior shots (like while Rey was flying on Jakku) and that would have been cool.

Possibly. We’ve just never seen it. No need to really.
She’s the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy and it’s home in every sense but especially the Star Wars of it all.

I can't imagine that I haven't seen the Falcon roll on the cockpit axis. Now I have to watch all available Falcon footage.

I never had the toys or anything, so it didn't occur to me that the cockpit was that thing on the side until I was an adult.

Interesting that in the ST, the MF doesn't do any space acrobatics /fighting (aside from lightspeed jumps). All the MF fighting/acrobatics are in atmospheres.

Do I have to explain this?

I will anyways.

They were breaking new ground in technology on Star Wars.

But with empire they had a huge budget so they invented cameras that could travel in and around the models and bindles that could move the models.
lol at the space battle in ROTJ. By that time they could layer film over film to spectacular effect.
