How're we going to explain THIS one?

Post by Sionnach Glic »

Something I stubled across earlier today and thought I'd share with you. Below is a picture taken of the model Executor used in shooting the films. However, one of the model makers added a model soldier to the ship, which must be a hundred metres in size at least. Although we never saw it explicitly on the film, it's on the model, and thus there canonicaly.

So, what is it, and why is it there? Start your speculating! :P

Agreed. :lol:

That makes a little sense.
No trees were killed in transmission of this message. However, some electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

Yeah I like the idea of a statue. Also are easter eggs considered canon? If not then that might be considered an easter egg and not canon.

No, it's not really canon. I just thought it was humerous and decided to point it out to the rest of you. :)

A figure on a model is the least of their problems. Lucas has started to invent major characters, Ashoka, to add to the Universe that no one in the movies seems to even be aware of.

Oh.. right.. o.O
I really wish they'd stop inventing new apprientices for Anakin / Vader. I've lost count.

He seemed like such a loner originally. Now he's got a bigger entourage than Batman.
