UPDATE3! Even More Photos of the Millennium Falcon Interior From Star Wars: Episode 7?
Yesterday we first brought you the story about a newly leaked photos of the Millennium Falcon interior from the Pinewood set. Now even more photos of the Falcon were leaked this time with some explanation by the guys at The Replica Prop Forum. Again no spoilers ahead…
Here we go again:
Special thanks to the guys at therpf.com forum for the images and their professional opinion about them. 🙂

Starkiller and I have been POURING over these newly leaked images and comparing them with original behind the scenes pics and screen shots. We’re almost convinced that “if” these images are from EP VII – this is “THE” original center console from the OT. Starkiller is the authority and he’s convinced!
Starkiller noticed some key features from the original that appear on the EP VII pics. We think the cockpit itself has been recreated, but he’s convinced the center console is original.
SteveStarkiller added:
ah, but there’s the rub. the tantive corridor they rebuilt looks great, but it’s way off in many small details.
In this instance, the yokes, seats, and console are way too close to be anything other than the originals. They’re trying hard, but like the tantive corridor, there would be more parts that were just not quite right.
I think they did a lot of redressing and rebuilding of those original parts, because I agree, I don’t think they would have held up in storage after all this time. but I think they’re original. There are certain “flaws” in the structure of the console that have me convinced.
UPDATE!
Also SteveStarkiller did a photomatch of the photos from a few months ago of the Falcon’s interior under construction:
Thanks again guys. I think this really gives some more credibility to the photos. But as usual until there’s an official confirmation by Lucasfilm and/or Disney this remains just a rumor.
UPDATE 2!
Even more photos (via StarWars-Union.de). I’m not sure about these…
UPDATE 3!
Our friends from DeathStar.nl sent us 3 new photos also supposedly taken from the Pinewood set.:
The photos from Update 2 & 3 obviously have been taken by the same person. But they look different from the rest. Also it’s worth mentioning that the second photo of Update 3 had been posted by The Sun months ago when the incident with Harrison Ford happened. At that time we thought that the image was fake. If that’s right then the rest of the photos from Update 2 & 3 are also fake. Still not sure about it but keep that in mind. Most likely not all pictures are legit.
Another interesting photo we received strikingly resembles a Star Destroyer bridge (with some small differences). Still it’s possible that this ia an old photo from Revenge of the Sith.

“Chewie, get us out of here!” I’m so excited by these photos. 🙂
Rrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh!!!
I clearly recall them saying they went back to the original blue prints when they made this model so details should look identical. Big deal.
They really meant blueprints. Cos so many of the parts are blue. That supposed Star Destroyer bridge is completely blue what once was grey. Is this so george cant tamper with a blue tint afterwars? Or did they reference the SE- now everything is blue!
It would be incredible if the center console was the original set piece they used during the OT. I can imagine they’ve had it locked away all this time and it would be amazing to see the real thing back.
No offense but you guys do realize that this is just a movie set? I’m just as excited as the next guy about the new movie but I’m not going to blast the production over minute details.
Good for you. Here’s your prize; nothing.
Oh My God! I always wanted that, you’re so lucky such a great prize. I envy you.
It’s the fabulous no-prize!
I haven’t enough pants…
“Bunks or storage of some kind.”
~ Isn’t that where Luke Skywalker was taking a powernap during the escape from Bespin? Looks a little cramped perhaps.
Where’s the smuggling compartments? They should be in the corridor, right?
Per “Update 2″… Yes, authentic as well. Looking out the internal hallway set curved airlock door at the “partial” ramp set piece (NOT the full ramp construction, which is a part of the “outer shell falcon”), and then pic 2 of update 2 looks back at the unfinished (and never filmed side) of the airlock door.
What exactly are we talking about when we’re referring to the “center console” and the “tantive corridor”?
Does anyone know?
I was wondering the same. What is the center console?
Can’t wait to see the falcon in action again!
OT: Mr. Ford looks in great shape some days ago at the expandebles3 premiere! his walk seems fluid enough after all 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJCVmo3WZSk
iPadCary approves.
A pity this craft & her pilot(s) will meet an untimely end.
If only they’d forego this fool’s errand of trying to lessen the influence of His Lord’s Empire. However, until they, along with everyone else, arrive at the understanding that the Empire represents ORDER, PEACE & PLENTY FOR ALL and is not “evil” and then disgard this persuit of the chaotic disorder that is a “democratic” republic, this will be thier resigned fate ….
Loser.
It feels great to see the Falcon brought back to life, of course. I just wish we get to see other parts of the ship this time around, like in TESB following ANH.
Those pics are so sweet! That things going to wind up at an amusement park and your going to get to go on it and it will be oh so titties!
Not me though I hate Disney….
Han “Chewie, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up…” Han swears at the door for breaking his leg.. “@##@@##%^%@@#”
“I guess that’s what I get for over-relying on practical effects!”
OMG…. These are great pix from ’76, ’79’ and ’82.
The photos would look completely different if they were taken decades ago.
Not with todays tech my friend.
These pictures DO look aged but I do trust you guys when you say they are new.
Although with todays advancements in computers you can make a picture from the 1940’s that is aged, bent, ripped, folded and stained look like new if not better.
oh god… the millenium falcon…looks like the millenium falcon D:
for the love of god, show us something new – _ –
In 30 years couldn’t the Falcon get a few updates over the years?
I totally agree…like in the last 30 yrs I’ve kept the same couch, same car, same pants.
But if we learned anything from the PT, it’s the fact that Star Wars fans will bitch and cry saying such stupid stuff like “you raped my childhood” if things are NOT the same.
The PT tried to rape my childhood, then my childhood kicked the fuck out of it.
Nobody has raped anyone. I’m primarily an OT fan, and I think the “rape” comments are idiotic.
In regards to the Falcon, hey, it’s a hot rod basically. Folks with Hot Rods are always updating them, adding new after market parts and upgrades and such. So there’s no reason we couldn’t see similar upgrades in the Falcon; the Star Wars version of a blower motor or nitrous system perhaps. It’ll have to have a new satellite dish at the very least.
Someone should rape the OT fans so they know what the true definition of that word means. Maybe after they can just view phantom menace as a film, like what the OT movies are.
I was hoping that Han would upgrade the Falcon with an upgraded interior complete with 3D hologram consoles and maybe retina controlled laser cannons lol. a mix of old and new tech that would fit with the ep 7 narrative
As usual, so called, self proclaimed experts talking utter bollocks. I worked on this movie. Everything was remade from scratch. Everyone tried really hard to make the universe look like authentic Star Wars, but nobody really gives too much off a shit if some nerd thinks it’s slightly ‘off’. Get a life.
You worked on the movie?? Oh my god me too!!!Oh and my dead grandmother as well. I’m sure you did. Isnt everyone. Total B.S.! I like how you said “worked” as if the film is finished. They are still working on sets my friend. Really though, I did lmao!
As usual, a self-proclaimed anonymous “insider” tries to grab a little attention to himself by claiming that he actually is “in the know”, and that nobody else here knows what they’re talking about.
Real experts on this sort of thing do not waste their time berating us “poor, foolish, obsessed fanboys”.
So you go get yourself a life, and do try to get a REAL job while you’re at it.
Right, that’s why they bought the gold dice off of eBay.
Because they don’t give a shit if it’s slightly off.

JJ asked me to tell you guys that he can’t wait to finish the film so you can all enjoy it (except for you Duke Groundrunner)
Finally the Millennium Falcon was updated. It looks completely new.
The Star Destroyer is so exciting!!
Looks like that final picture from update 3, and a few of the other MF pics were posted in July in this thread:

Nice find. Like it. Continually can’t wait for the new movies!
Ahhh! You beat me to it! Love the designs, so AWESOME!
The top one looks like the Hodges drawing on Instagram and the bottom one as ive heard described from the set so these must be legit.
New Stormtroopers and Snowtrooper helmets online Viral! Jump on it mate!
Any confirmation about the stormtrooper helmets? They look pretty cool, I don’t hate them but I’m guessing these might be concepts. I really like how the black mouth piece angles up and towards the eyes but I’m not the biggest fan of the black on black visor which leads me to believe it’s a concept… but who knows? Definitely a good modern variation.
The snow trooper helmet I think can’t compete with the original… the straight visor looks too innocent if you know what I mean.
As a huge OT fan… I LOVE the new helmets. I can’t believe I can actually get behind a new look to the iconic Stormtrooper helmet… but man so look sweet. It fits a lot of the rumors we heard.
Some saying they were Tron like and more modern/smooth. Looks way better than the concept that guy sketched.
If they turn out to be true I’m totally ok with it. It’ll give it that new feel while looking badass/homage to the OT at the same time!
As far as the last falcon pics the rod type things holding the cargo door are white in some and aged in some so if theyre legit some are older.
