Episode III Sets Going Up

Crews have begun rebuilding classic Star Wars sets for George Lucas' upcoming Episode III, which starts production this summer, the official Web site reported. "We've been in Sydney for about four weeks now, and the department is about 50 percent up and running in terms of personnel," production designer Gavin Bocquet told the site. About 35 workers have come together in departments such as construction, props, special effects and plaster, he added.

To meet the schedule, Bocquet's team has tackled the returning environments first in lieu of new locales, which are still being developed, the site reported.

"We do have four or five sets that are being repeated from [Star Wars: Episode II—Attack of the Clones] and a couple of the other episodes, which gives us a chance to work quite quickly on those," Bocquet said. "They don't need any great design input or even technical drawings, because they have existed before."

Those sets include the Jedi Council chambers, the Senate Rotunda and Palpatine's office. The crew will also recreate two sets from the original Star Wars trilogy, the site reported. One is space-based and the other is planet-based, and each will be the stage for intricate action sequences, the site reported.

What sets from the original trilogy do you think they are going to reuse?

My guesses would be:

Space-based -- The Death Star??

Planet-based -- Dagobah??

Anyone else?
