There was definitely a full size Falcon (or a sizable chunk of one) and full size x-wings built for the OT.

Yeah, the scenes in cargo bays or in the base on Hoth, where you really have the sense that people are clambering around these things, slapping their sides, etc. - CGI has nothing on that for making the movies feel real, and for making people love those vehicles, IMO.

Is there a favorite wookieepedia facts thread? I enjoyed this from their R5-series article:
Because of their inexpensive construction, however, droids of this series were plagued by a number of design flaws—most obviously, a sullen demeanor and sharp attitude resulting from deficiencies in the machine's personality matrix. Media outlets soon picked up on these errors: Mechtech Illustrated called the R5 model "a meter-tall stack of the worst business decisions you could possibly want."

Is it? I mean "The Phantom Menace" was a crummy movie, but the title is decent. "The Force Awakens" is like some SW fan board speculation shit.

weirdly psyched, but I expect the series won't really get into gear until Star Wars Episode VIII: The Force Finishes Its Coffee

At least they haven't gone with EPISODE VII dominating the title. Yet.

The 1980 sequel, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, featured the episode number and subtitle in the opening crawl. When the original film was re-released on April 10, 1981, Episode IV: A New Hope was added above the original opening crawl.
