- This model is actually a mirror image of how it appears in the finished movie. It is one of the few models that never leaves the Archives because it is too fragile.

Damn... This thing should be in a museum as a piece of art.
I always thought the second Death Star looked cooler than the first.
Gasoline85 It's to fragile to move. But I agree.
Call Indiana Jones. He'll see to it. :D
Gasoline85 The way it looks from the front veiw is awesome.
@donnyfrom hackney what museum?
It belongs in a museum!
_"So do you!!"_
Only part-time.
🤠
I did not know to this moment that it wasn't a painting, stunning modeling
That asian guys shirt says Revenge of the Jedi, meaning that at even thus point, that was still that name of the movie
Dr. Skitz Saw it too
Yeah, there are even teasers of the film still saying Revenge of the Jedi, it was a late call to make it Return of the Jedi.
I’m glad they changed the title.
It was actually always Lucas's original intent to call it Return of the Jedi but one of his friends told him it was a weak title, thus why it was changed to Revenge of the Jedi. However, very late in the game, Lucas changed it back to Return of the Jedi.
@@mrj8149 But still used this title for Revenge of the Sith...
Employee: Wait, so your telling me that this whole time we've been building this thing the completely opposite of how it should be?....DAMN IT.
CorruptEngieJR They always get the configuration wrong!
They just flipped the shot, easy.
same fate as the Titanic...
Same with Ellen Paige
Best movie prop on the planet.Gimme it.
George Lucas has the original Death I - II at his home.
@@taylorh.3484 Oh he's got them? I half expected them to be in some billionaire's collection. Or Trazyn's.
@@taylorh.3484 just checked, DS1 was almost thrown away, rescued for a while and then sold... Ended up being used as a trash can (laser array was gone so they dumped trash in the hole) and now some nerd has it at home. DS2 doesn't appear anywhere on a casual search but it's a completely different ball game when it comes to props, way more complex and difficult to handle. Someone must have it, I hope it's George.
"Thats all! Let's do it!"
I remember when the first publicity shots of the Death Star 2 came out with no explanation or context. I thought it was the wreckage of the first Death Star. Funny that they would feature the wreckage of the Death Star in a sequel.
Funnily enough if you look at the explosion from Jedi there were some chunks that you could see flying off after the falcon flew away and also the view in the blue sky above endor. It would make sense that these pieces would fly off and land on other planets in the system.
If you read the Star Wars comic line from Marvel, you knew around spring of 1983 they ran a story arc of: The Tarkin 😲. This was a "new" super huge space weapon. Luke, Leia, Chewie & the droids snuck aboard in a commando style direct action sabotage. Vader & Luke fought too. Of the pre ROTJ comic storylines, it was fairly good. When the DSll was shown, I said: well I guess George Lucas or ILM never reads the Marvel Comics. 😄
The Tarkin? That’s brilliant! Thanks for the info!
This oddly also happened in the Jedi Prince book series.
Which amusingly also name drops a character called 'Snoke' and involves a grandchild of Palpatine.
"The Ferrari is the key to all of this" - George Lucas
The key to the Ferrari is all of this
All that work, then they used like 5 shots of the front....poor model makers lol. That thing should be in the smithsonian
“That belongs in a museum!”
Yeah, why not zoom in on it, have someone fly around it??
Huh.... so they reversed it on screen.
Damn. I wish we had seen all that detail in Jedi, especially the back side.
"Damn. I wish we had seen all that detail in Jedi, especially the back side."
You think that maybe the reason they shot it that way was because the back side DIDN'T look good on film?
I've seen models that looked BETTER in person than they did all lit up onscreen.
The Enterprise-D, for instance, does NOT look good with all the lights on, not the way they shot it on video for ST:TNG... Very unconvincing to me. The first two versions of the Enterprise looked good in person AND all lit up on film. There's very few shots of those first two versions of that ship that didn't look good and those were mainly issues of lighting.
The same happened with the lava flow on Mustafar. It was reversed on screen...
There are lots of interviews with Lorne Peterson online but I would love to hear more from Bill George. He has such amazing experiences.
It's an amazing model. it's a pity it looks like a matt painting on film (with the final shots they used).
That's what I was thinking.
The Death Star is the model of models
Imagine accidently tripping and falling onto that model.
> fired.
> reputation gone.
> attempted assassinators by fellow model builders who worked on the thing.
You would nkt even get fiered, the moddelers would eat you allive.
They really should have used more footage of the unfinished section in the film. Ships flying over it, and stuff. To me, most of the shots that ended up in the movie looks like matt paintings.
this is like the guy who built the 10ft super star destroyer........... it would drive you nuts
It's going to be in a museum Narrative art museum in la built by George Lucas...
what a fun job to work on a half complete death star
They should build a full size one!
oh Hell No!
Scientists calculated that it would cost trillions.
@@Сайтамен Is that ALL?! Let's do it!
A-A-Anakin ?
Darn it, I forgot my wallet
It's a model?? You'd never know it in the film since they only use two friggin angles!
the guy that was using the wire through the second death star looks like Dale Earnhardt
He faked his death to get out of nascar to work on the Death Star
It seems to me they barely used this model, if at all. I’d have to go back and watch for it specifically, but I’m pretty sure every time we see the Death Star, it’s the same image, which was probably a painting.
And Lucas criticised Kurtz for wasting money in ESB!
That looked like a pain in the ass.....
That's what he said.
They'll NEVER make a good injected model kit of either Death Star, will they?
The MPC Death Star model was a joke and now so is Bandai Death Star II model.
They just don't look good when they're less than 10 inches in diameter!
You can make the Millennium Falcon and of the star fighters look good at that scale and lower but NOT the Death Star.
Even the "dinky" star destroyers look better!
Is the model still around? Or have they made plans for the model? oh how I would love it to kind of recreate it
+Jeff Jefferson Jekovsky It's still in the LucasFilm Archives.
That thing never leaves the Archives. It’s too fragile, now.
I want to buy the incomplete "Death Star" for my home decoration.
HAHAHA!!!
I would love a job making things like that!
Can we talk about how great Bill George looks?
Wow these movies don’t even do these models and artists justice tbh
Una pregunta estoy haciendo una de 8o cm de diámetro pero que colores lleva exactamente gracias
No wonder it look like it was illuminated by a room light instead of sunlight whenever we see it.....
These props still exists, right? They're not like sets that gets destroyed after filming?
Is there a star Wars museum? It would be a shame if they were in some warehouse, they really should be in a nice glass display like the Xenomorph suit in the Giger museum.
A lot of props were kept. They are kept in the Star Wars Archives at Lucas Ranch. You can see it in this video:

@@mranderson00001 After seeing all those models in some corner or on a shelf, I'm gonna go full Indiana Jones on this and say: It belongs in a museum! :D
@@MarkArandjus There was talks about building an actual Star War museum back in 2015 in Chicago IL. Where Lucas's wife is from. Unfortunately some stupid environmental organization called Friends of The Park prevented him from getting land for the site in which it was to be built on.
@@dantasticmania8728 Stupid environmental organizations. It's not like there's more land out there to build on or already existing museums, clearly film props are more important than protecting the natural heritage of a community.
If there's huge sections still incomplete to great depth, why don't they use that instead of those openings hardly much larger than the ships?
Because those don't lead INTO the main reactor
Why don't they just aim a single ship into the main reactor and crash into it at light speed, oh, sorry, I was thinking in fanfict terms...
that thing is worth millions now
2:58 my life is a lie
"We don't want another big-budget model made?" This is Jedi. By now the franchise is worth a billion dollars. Build the model.
Do you know what scale it is? Like 1:x?
about "1:105" ;by calculating 160km (1.6 million cm) divided by 152cm over 100.
based on it's 100 miles and the model is 5 feet.
Wouldn't that be 1 : 105000?
TeamLockybros 1 : 50 000 scale
Evil Ash death star ii is 900 km, so 1:630 more like. Well 1:630000
1 : 105000 is right if it's 152 cm in diameter as Krule said, probably were looking for a 1 : 100000 scale and when time to come up with a definite size rounded up to 160 Km.
George Lucas: Lorne, what do you think it's gonna cost if we did it as a full size model?
Lorne Peterson: It'll cost about as much - a little bit more than the Dino Ferrari you bought.
Dino Ferrari estimated price: $277,000 - $347,000
Full size Death Star: 160 km diameter
George Lucas: Is that all?! Let's do it!
It would cost trillions.
A little bit of C4 and a very high frame rate camera would look magical with that model
No, unfortunately not.
You need purpose-built pyro models (lighter, thinner, pre-fractured with enough space to put charges) for that kind of shot. The hero models are not suitable for simply blowing them up.
Also, C4 isn't used for that kind of effect work. The detonation velocity is simply too high. Visually you wouldn't get anything interesting out of it...especially not at the 240 fps commonly used for pyro at this scale.
Disney + need to do a courtroom drama Star Wars series about the Empire suing the contractors.
Before the dark times.
Before everything made with CGI.
CGI isn't the problem. CGI is a tool, and it doesn't work only when it's not used properly.
I think he's alluding to the fact that with "old" movies when you saw bad practical effects it was because of budget constraints or the technique wasn't good enough to make it believable most of the time, but now with CGI they'll use it even when practical effects would've produced better results.
So, the entire video as I'm watching I was thinking, the video must have been mirrored or something when they posted it to youtube, because that is the reverse of how the Death Star appeared, Then, ad the end of the video they drop that bomb, nope, we build the model backwards and reversed it for the film.
Pretty darn shame that you guys spent all this time making a cool 3D model when the whole thing ended up looking so 2 dimensional in the final film
MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU.
wont be seeing this for sale onpropstoreoflondon
نجمه الحديد😢
Cool ships
2:43 the original movie title on the t shirt
So guys i did a off camera build
We need more static models and less cgi. Star Wars, Terminator, Alien, Predator, Blade Runner, Battlestar Galactica (classic), Robocop and so much more... Are you knor what i want to say?
But did they blew it up?
No, and the Executor crashing into it is yet another model.
Its wierd that they would go to the effort of "flopping" the model. Because from memory it doesn't matter.
Then again that might just be George Lucas being George Lucas.
Have you ever taken an art class? Sometimes where things are placed and how their position can effect how well a scene looks. When you create a painting, or photo you want to create a sort of balance. This means filling certain areas in, avoiding dead space, filling in the background a certain way. Otherwise it can be visually unappealing, or mess with the focus. Also where and how you place things on the screen can send certain visual information. At the end of the Duel of Fates fight in TPM when Obi wan jumps over Maul it's actual mirrored to help maintain a sort of visual consistency with the Lightsabers. With the scene they highlight I can get a sense of why the Death Star is mirrored although I can't really put into words at the moment. All I can say is they didn't want the incomplete side on the Left.
Why didn't they just flip the matte paintings....
I'm 42 years old, but even I'm too young to imagine not doing this shit on a computer... don't get me wrong, practical effects are great and I love seeing them on screen, but I'd die having to work with that sort of thing. I love computers! And I hate them as well...
Interesting
But I still think a Death Star is impractical
how?
supah comix Figure it out for yourself.
Oh no… that’s not a thing you want to come to at the end of it
Go back in time and show them advanced CGI, watch them sigh with great longing 🤣
Bla, bla, bla e nada de mostrar como foram feitos.
The greed of hollyood is an absolute atrocity.
What is wrong with this, Spencer?
CGI lol
