EFX Star Wars: A New Hope Death Star Surface Modules
One of the most iconic symbols of imperial might was the Death Star, first seen in Star Wars A New Hope. Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) made "modules" (a.k.a. tiles) to create the surface of the dreaded Death Star. The modules were made in several scales to give the illusion of different altitudes over the Death Star surface. The largest modules were referred to as the "low altitude" tiles, as seen in the trench, the smaller modules were for the different altitudes of the epic battles between the Imperial TIE Fighters and the Rebel Starfighters. No less attention to detail was given to these modules than the other models the made. As with the models, these modules were made in the same process known as "kit-bashing." Thus, the details in these modules are the same as the incredible models. The modules in this set are the "high altitude: square tiles in the medium altitude configuration. Each square was approximately 3" X 3". There were 14 different "high altitude" square tiles mad
