The script called for an escape pod, “and we knew we wanted the escape pod on the nose. ![]() ![]() “We went kind of crazy in the beginning with ideas,” Clyne says, with designs that at one point called for adding another cockpit to the craft to make the unmistakable silhouette more symmetrical and “huge spoilers on the back like a hot rod.” It’s like somebody asking you to change the Eiffel Tower or something.” I mean, it’s like the most beloved thing you’ve ever seen in the Star Wars universe. “There was a certain level of sheer terror in taking this on.
