Yeah, they used anything and everything they could get their hands on. This whole movie was a scratch builder/kit bashers paradise.

As a young modeler when those movies came out, working as a model builder at ILM was my dream job... Then along came CGI... Grrrrrrt

Oddly enough, even in episodes 1,2 and 3 (sorry for swearing) they used real models, then build on them with CGI. Adam savage worked on some of the set designs.

I had the same dream - it's partly the reason why I don't like CGI....

Just a fair warning. These next movies were made by Disney. The same idiots that brought you Frozen.
