Jedi Costume

Some of the costumes have already been completed, like this one modelled by Luke. Others are proving a bigger challenge.

Costume Making

Most of the costumes are being made from scratch by a dedicated team. It was often difficult to get the right material.

Costume Design

Parts of some of the costumes are designed using standard patterns, but others have to be painstakingly recreated from photographs.

Lighting

Well we wouldn't want our set to be on the dark side - wouldn't we... ?

R2-D2

Rebels from across the country have been drafted to build the set, and loaned their previous creations, like this droid.

Tea Break

Unfortunately, as Phill found, there was nowhere to hide from the demanding whims of the Executive Bully.

Framework

Paul and Adam begin work on constructing the main set, the framework of which is made of scaffolding.

Construction Begins

The full height of the room has been used on this set. This needed a team with a good head for heights.

Putting Up the Flats

The top flats are hardboard and were painted beforehand. The lower flats  were painted in place.

Ready for Action

As his uncle and aunt help him with the painting, Luke is ready to take on the Empire at a moment's notice.

Inside the “Small Moon”

Now the structure of the main set has nearly been completed, the next stage is to dress the set.

Work Starts on New Set

This view from the platform shows that the room is so large that another, adjoining set is taking shape in the background.

Watch this Space

As more of the details of the set emerge, what adventures will we be witnessing through this porthole of doom... ?
