Damn, dude. Excellent work, the Falcon and thing holding it up both look real. Change the dish to the old one and those would really look like a BTS pics from the original trilogy.
Except for the blue reflection in the cockpit windows, you could pass these off as actual photos from the movies. The physical models didn't have glass in them just so there wouldn't be a reflection.
Looking great Wiz, last one my favorite. Can you share your post process? What render layers do you use? What post filter do you apply? (I can se blur, texture overlay, chromatic, color correction, film damage, but there one something in there that's so good in selling realism, what is it?
The ending scene was supposed to be 30 minutes long instead of 7....Rey walking around the island, snapping pictures on her SpacePhone, and 10 minutes of a back and forth staring contest between Rey and Luke; with a 4 minute extended cut of Luke's hair and beard flapping in the wind.
Unfortunately they had to trim all that for time
There's also a scene with Ents on Luke's island and Saruman falling to his death in the extended edition because of an unfortunate bet between JJ Abrams and Peter Jackson.
On a serious note, they actually did have a scene planned to show Luke's disembodied hand and lightsaber floating towards the planet where his lightsaber is found. (not a major spoiler for people who still haven't seen the film, as plenty of promotional stuff shows Finn holding Anakin's/Luke's 'saber) Fortunately, that was deemed to not make a lot of sense, so it was dropped. Aside from that, it also presented a major problem from a scientific standpoint, as he lost his hand on Bespin, a gas giant and it's extremely unlikely to have escaped the gas giant's massive gravity pull and started "floating."
It's always interesting to see what kind of crap makes it to the cutting room floor.
The Timothy Zahn novels indicate that the severed hand and lightsaber were recovered by the Empire from the bottom of Cloud City, so they did not fall out with Luke (it must have been other debris falling out with him).
I know. In fact, I'm currently re-reading "Heir to te Empire." However, whether the hand and 'saber fell out (now that those novels aren't canon) or stayed in Cloud City, they wouldn't be floating through space. It would still be in Bespin or Cloud City. Somebody could have retrieved the 'saber from there, as was done in those novels.

Yeah Tralfaz, but it just looked so odd without Glass :P (so I used some artistic license there ).
Yep, that's pretty much it Latos, but I over-saturate the layer and add radial/gaussian/motion blur and slight bloom
Also I do a noise removal, then pump back up the detail to get the softer edges and washed aged look on the paint.
Although sometimes I will use surface blur to soften the edges.
Here is an early lighting test (no post), so this is what I start with

Yes, indeed it was.
