Star Wars set dressings recycled in GMC?

[Dearth]

Hey, is it just me, or do these security panels from the Mallory Gallery not look a lot like recycled Death Star control panels?

Now that you mention it.
Yes, they were definitely breaking into the Death Star.

Something else funny about the Mallory Gallery... when the Muppets are on the 'roof', look closely at the black sky... it's a cloth backdrop with a visible seam at times.

Oh ya,
I noticed that one ages ago. It's alright though, it doesn't make it any less of a good movie.

Oh, of course not. I've just been watching it a lot lately while working on a custom figure commission of Piggy in her Dubonnet Club dress.

Actually, the visibly seamed sky creates a neat link to the Bohemian Rhapsody video... when one of the explosions goes off, you can see the fabric backdrop in that, too.

I also noticed something in Great Muppet Caper that also looks like a recycled piece from Star Wars.

I don't have a picture so you might want to go back and take a look but, doesn't the big window in the newspaper office look like the same window that gets blown up during the big Darth/Luke fight from Empire Strikes Back? I always thought so.
