The minifig under the lightsaber appears to be Han Solo. I'm really amazed by
these
sets, even with the small size of the pictures.
<speculation>
The Falcon seems pretty hefty. The front mandibles look to be the new x-wing
style wings with about two rows of bricks inbetween. That would make the front
flat surface of the mandibles three studs each, with what looks to be 6 studs
inbetween. That would make the frontmost portion of the falcon 12 studs wide.
It looks like there are two sets of these wings in a line to make up the front
angle of the falcon. THis could make the length to the center of the saucer
section anywhere from 19 to 24 studs depending if the overlap the plates. If it
was 19 studs long I guess the saucer would be 24 studs wide(is that the size of
one of the UFO body pieces?).
</speculation>
Of course, looking at these dimensions I came up with it wouldn't be that much
bigger the x-wing. So I am probably wrong. Anyone else have any impressions of
its size?
I should get back to work now
