Millennium Falcon captured by plane
A man has accidentally captured aerial photos depicting the Millennium Falcon on the set of the new Star Wars film at Greenham Common, Berkshire.
Matthew Myatt was flying over the area to take publicity shots for a flying school, and originally thought his images were of two slightly strange-looking experimental aircraft.
When he took a closer look, however, Myatt realised he'd in fact managed to capture a partly constructed Millennium Falcon cloaked in a blue tarpaulin, and an X-Wing fighter.
A Twitter-user named Justin Reeves has since managed to capture aerial video footage of the set, using a drone. The still below, taken from Reeves's footage, clearly depicts two docked X-Wing fighters.
These photos leave me in a state of not knowing whether or not I'll enjoy the new Star Wars films, they will have handmade models that we all loved form the original trilogy, but as with the shockingly disappointing prequal trilogy, it will be full of computer generated worlds, beings and vehicles. Which loses the great feelings of the original releases. Everyone loved them, but when the remastered versions came out with new computer generated scenes of Jabba the Hutt, those silly music scenes where all of the puppets where replaced with those digital beings when it's so much better with the hand crafted puppets.
I look forward to the new films, but I do feel like these films will be missing something that is truly what Star Wars is, the craft work.
