A little cameo I noticed in Episode III

Post by Medic »

The Millenium Falcon. After the battle on Coruscant when Anakin and Obi-Wan land on the speeder at the Senate Hall place (right before Anakin sees Padme for the first time in the movie) it's in the lower right of the picture. I shit you not.

Shit -[double post]- and the Bespin Cloud City twin speeder thingy.

I'm not sure on this one as it's smaller and it moves faster. But it's in the scene after Anakin dreams about Padme dying (for the first time) and right before Anakin meets Yoda for an exchange of Jedi platitudes, it's the lead-in scene showing the Jedi Temple from outside.

Enjoy and provide me with feedback on verification. :D

The Falcon has been noted before (as has the three YT-series freighters in AOTC). The twin-pod speeder is probably the same as the one from AOTC, which was based on the Bespin version, only sleeker.

There's no dispute that it's there, but I wonder about the intent of the guys who put it in the movie.
Did the ILM guys put it in with the intention of it being just another another ship (since Corellian freighters are supposed to be pretty common), or if they meant it to be a cameo of the Falcon itself.

Who wants to bet that theyll have either the falcon or one of it’s many prievous owners cameo in the tv series.
