I've voiced my negative opinions of the Lego MF here before, but lately (until
today) I'd been having a change of heart. I'd made a real effort to like the
"Falcon." It didn't even really have to be the Falcon - I'm sure the
Correlians
produced other models...of course they did...the Outrider, for instance. Ok,
this is just a model of a smaller Corellian freighter. I can dig that. I'm
partial to small vehicles (I own a Festiva.) But this "escape pod" is too much
to bear. I understand the necessity for unselective compression. All I ask is
that they respect the ship. Be true to the spirit of the design. This little
open escape pod is nonsense. Point of fact: it is unclear where exactly within
the Falcon the escape pods are. So...how about ejecting something else... like
a shipment of spice? I think that would be a nice touch, and more practical
than an impossibly compressed escape pod in this already compressed ship. Too
much like dropping a dubious load when the Coast Guard shows up? Well, we have
the boys from ResQ who might be available for a bit of interdiction. Anyway,
Lego has nasty bounty hunters and dark lords and sabers and pistols and buxom
maidens now. Billund doesn't have a moral leg to stand on. I digress...if I
get the MF, you can bet that I'll be dropping a load of spice, first time I see
an Imperial Cruiser, rather than that cheesy escape pod.

| (...) Not only is this a horrible looking and really cheapskate way to add "action" to the model, but it's something we've never seen in any of the films. It must be something from one of the novels, otherwise I'd wonder why Lucas would even (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.starwars)
