Disney Tried to Hide the Millennium Falcon...

[Mr Ferret 75]

I think perhaps a third party sub contracted by a division of Lucasfilm tried to protect something. Not hide.

Perhaps.

Perhaps when the image was taken they were protecting it from the incoming hurricane ...

There's a joke to be made somehow considering the Millennium Falcon is on a golf course and Harrison Ford crashed into a golf course a couple years ago.

You are a trip,

Disney tried to hide something in the days of google maps, They did so in a manner your average 5 y/o could have done a better job at.

You are aware that GPS coordinates can be pulled from Google Maps. So now Disney is going to have every SW Geek in the area trying to get a selfie with the ship.

Also if you have a good reason Google can make things 'invisible' on google maps. That would have taken a GPS position and a radius that Disney needed to hide. And nobody would be the wiser.

So once again Disney shows they dont get tech at all. And they created a security problem as a result. Sure the ones caught will be trespassed. Thats not gonna stop em from trying.

ITs a movie prop in London... why would they care if it was seen with Google images, there are a lot of things I can find using google images that aren't totally camouflaged. The shipping containers are there to protect not hide. I'm pretty sure if Disney wanted to hide it they would have just thrown up a building around it, but there is no reason to hide it.

Would it help if we got out and pushed?

It Might !

OK, I'm game to see how you spin this into something anti-Disney...

And why, pray tell, was LucasFilm attempting to hide their MF film prop?

What's the big deal? You can find rhododendron almost anywhere.

I wonder if I could sneak this past the HOA?

Just conceal it with shipping containers !

 

[Master Yoda]

Well I guess I could try to get @ford91exploder under contract to conceal it. He does seem to be an expert on the subject.

Oh come on. Just use The Force™.

Oh come on. Just use The Force™.

Sorry, but here we use the farce, not the force...

Who all went onto Google maps after reading this .. lol

I went to Google Earth to get the timestamp. (I run a FB group and one of the members was under the impression that it was for SW:GE.)

 

[CptRon]

So... Is it sitting in traffic, or not?

There are no hurricanes in the UK. This is at Long Cross Studios in the heart of heart the Surrey countryside. This is a movie prop at a filming location. The shipping crates are there to protect it. The ones that they are building for SW:GE are being built in China and should be delivered within the next four months.

I trust that your first sentence was sarcastic !
