The New and Improved Millennium Falcon to be Featured in the Latest Issue of Fortune Magazine!

“Fortune” magazine is set to feature the Millennium Falcon in its January issue. The new shots of the Falcon were created specifically for Fortune magazine and include a special cover complete with the “new” radar dish. The magazine features an article about Disney CEO Bob Iger and how he has absorbed many of the greatest franchises and film production companies, Pixar & Lucasfilm Ltd. to name a couple, into the Disney conglomerate. In a first for the prestigious and highly regarded financial magazine Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light and Magic created the featured photos specifically for the cover story:

As for the cover shot, Yannick Dusseault, visual effects art director for The Force Awakens, and his team gave Fortunesix options showing the Falcon in different ways. The resulting image required the custom rendering of ILM’s computer generated Falcon. According to ILM, the fabled ship was rendered in wireframe form (a skeletal version) as well as a more layered “textured render,” which were combined in Photoshop to create the final image.

For the Love of God, the Falcon better have a top-of-the-line hyperdrive!!

Other than the Radar dish, I doubt I'll see any discernible difference.

It still looks old and in bad shape. "New" implies, to me, a cleaner and fresher look.

as Han did say "This bucket of bolts still has a few surprises left in her sweatheart".....

Looks the same (which I like) other than the radar dish (which I also like). Glad that Hollywood didn't pressure the Falcon to get botox.

Now we get to see just what Kevin Smith saw when he got his first glimpse of the Millenium Falcon.

Just a thing of beauty,

Why would you change the radar dish? Just to put your own stamp on it? Not that it really matters much just wondering why you would do it. Why is it so important going from round to square?

Kryptonic · 12-29-2014, 05:49 PM

It takes place 30 years after Jedi. The Falcon should have some small changes and differences.

Why should it? I have a restored car sitting in my garage...that's 40 years old. Should I put a spoiler on it?

But you could if you wanted to. Han could paint it hot pink if he wanted to. That's a long span of time and things change and break and need replaced.

Why do I have to explain this? Christ...

There are some people that don't get it.

Trust me, it's not even worth it.

Just chalk it up to this: Radar dish is not circular - Childhood ruined!!

Because round dishes are so 30 years ago.

Exactly the answer I was looking for!

Because in 1977 it didn't look outdated but in 2015 it does. Makes no sense in the world of Star Wars....

Because the round one was knocked off during the flight out of the death start in Jedi.

Actually I just re-watched it a few minutes ago. I did not see that anywhere in the film. I must have missed it.

**Edit Good call on that as if you blink you will miss it. Funny but when the falcon comes out of the death star you can see a round shape.

There's a difference between knowing it, but forgetting about it and claiming that it's not there when it is.

Notice how my reply is only three minutes after your post. I knew exactly where it was in the space battle and got the proper time code for you to see it.
