Great point Jim - the Falcon was not the nimble, roll
around and zip machine during the first film - which makes
sense with an outrigger cockpit.

you try to fly that thing the way it now flies with an
outrigger cockpit and I have no idea how they keep track of
anything - something that bugs me about the Falcon, even
though I love it to bits.

Re: the Millennium Falcon....

Like the STAR WARS movies themselves, it got faster and slicker and eventually turned into the ship Han bragged it was in the original film.*

A "piece of junk" it was no more, and the whole series was the lesser for it.

----------------

* Call it the Superman Effect. The more popularity a character/concept gathers, the more goodies get heaped upon it.

JB: Have you seen the one they did of monsters, Bill?

***

I have now!   Short but sweet.

I still chuckle at the sight of Mike Sully and a Xenomorph standing side-by-side, and wondering about the mash-up possibilities.

For the Godzillas, the 2014 was a good stopping point. Shin Godzilla (2016) was only 10 meters taller, Godzilla Earth (2017) came after the video was created, and same with 2019.

Shows how little I care for The return of Skywalker - I
can't even remember that creature at the end.

These are a Youtube rabbit hole. So good

Ted, the 1954 Godzilla was 50 meters (164 ft) tall. Enough to be higher than the Ginza Wako Clock Tower.





By 1984, Toho had to double Godzilla's height to keep up with the increasing number of skyscapers in Tokyo, and kept going up from there, until the 2000-era of films which brought it back down to just above the 1954 level, to return the amount of detail to the miniature sets.

With the use of CGI, the 2014 Godzilla got a huge boost in height.
