The idea was to wait for Her Majesty to step out of her car on the first night at the Dominion, Tottenham Court Road, London: then we'd resolve some subsonics with a thundercrack while the hologram panned off down TCR at speed. The trouble was it was too big, we couldn't get a stable scan, either Heisenberg was at work or the speed-of-light delay to the far end of the beast met earth vibrations, so it never happened.

The last three Star Wars films were bobbins but youve got to admit the production design in the original concept was genius. The x-wing actually looks like it could actually do what it is meant to do (if Star Wars was real of course!) That wiki entry on the x-wing is worringly (but not surprisingly) geeky.
