It seems that common items are often inspiration for
SW ships' appearances or sounds--the MF's engine
sound eluded Lucas and Co. until they were staying
in a no-tell motel one night and the air conditioner
malfunctioned--making the perfect sound for the ship.
ObSW: The inspiration for Slave I was apparently
a novel parking lot streetlight shield at ILM--you know,
the part at the end that holds the bulb. Imagine the "nose"
of Slave 1 stuck on the end of a lamp-post, and a
bulb where the engine nozzles are on the ship, and
you'll see what I mean.
ObSWAngst: I can't wait to be done with this latest
paper--then it's gonna be a build-fest like the world's
never seen! I'm itching to use that new cockpit--after
seeing it on that Slave 1 model!
