Our most elaborate set was built for the Death Star Hangar
shootout. This was made using a mix of several techniques.
The walls were designed digitally using both stills from the
film and scans of old and new Kenner/Hasbro beckdrops. The
designs were each printed, attached to foamboard and assembled
in the studio. We covered the black paperboard floor with
clear packaging tape to simulate the polished floors of the
Death Star. Small tracks in the floor allowed us to puppeteer
several of the action figures from underneath.
The result was a very realistic recreation of the hangar
bay, complete with an extra room for the Vader/ObiWan lightsaber
battle, a functional blast-door, enough room for the Millenium
Falcon, and a big hole in the floor for the stoormtroopers
to fall through to their deaths.
