From LC's point of view, the MF is probably like a gem which is supposed
to "sell" more Star Wars sets. I mean, this is, like, everybody's
favourite Star Wars vehicle. It's probably going to include Luke, Han
Solo and Princess Leia (this is just speculations, of course), being
some of the most important characters in the Star Wars story, and you're
saying that it will not have much of an interior? Come on!
Ok, so the MF looks bad from the outside from what we have seen yet,
which is something like two catalogue shots. There seems to be
something secretive about the looks of the MF in the images, since
nothing of the interior or the minifigs (assuming they exist) have been
shown. This may very well be LC's intention, to keep people worried
what the model will be like. That way, people will anticipate the
arrival of the model even more. We have been waiting for some signs of
the LEGO Star Wars Millenium Falcon for more than a year already, so why
let them see us just now? If this is so, the strategy does work! Just
look at all the messages it has generated on this newsgroup.
I still think the MF will have detailed interiors. What looks like two
opening doors or escape pods (or both) on either side of the MF, I
believe are partly there to increase the access to the interior of the
vehicle, making it more playable. Such a large vehicle could otherwise
have been very difficult to access the interiors of. Just ask some of
the people who have made outstanding minifig scale MF's on the net!
