I love those old ILM Star Wars movie books that talk about the inspirations for props and how they made models from things them had around…
The Ewok Village was inspired by Muir Valley Redwoods in San Francisco, the Ewok radar dish was from the giant Stanford radar dish, Boba Fetts ship was a lamp shape they re-purposed, and the Death Star was made up of toy assembly-yourself model parts - it must have be a lot of fun!
