What the hell is Star Trek??

 

I'll pretend I didn't read that. Sure, Star Wars and Trek may have an unofficial (and overstated) rivalry, but personally I am a trekkie as well, and Trek is a monumental franchise in science fiction history. Even if you don't like it, it is still important- it came before Star Wars, and was the first serious science fiction show on television. Here's a wikipedia link.

 

And if you were joking, I stand as a Trekkie fool. :P

But this is all extremely off-topic.

I was kidding. I couldn't resist. ;)

I'm a huge fan as it happens.

Me too. :) Even attended a few "Trekker" parties many moons ago (just an excuse to watch a bunch of Trek before a new movie came out, really) My favorite series overall was Deep Space Nine, though I've enjoyed all of them to varying degrees.

While we're on Trek (we'll stop soon, I'm sure!), do you like it to any degree, Ady?

I agree, all rivalries should be limited to purists v. lucas apologists, otherwise things will get very confusing. Though I will say that I'm probably disqualified as a Trekkie since Voyager is my favorite of the series. And as I understand it, it is not held in such high regard by true fans...

Back to the topic: I was wondering if the shield generator model was created from scratch or made from existing items, like so many SW props...

I was joking actually. But bringing it back on topic, Lucas has made statements about bieng a fan of Star Trek. I believe he even went so far as to say that was influenced by elements of Star Trek. The problem with Lucas saying anything about anything is he goes back and forth.

I was loyal threw out growing up with Next Generation and onward. I had friends that were also fans but a lot of people disliked Deep Space Nine when it started. Mostly because it was so different. I stuck with it and it became a great show. I may go so far as to say it's my favorite. What I find ironic as that it's the closest Star Trek has come to bieng Star Wars. The Space Station bar on that show and the aliens (not to mention the later space battles) are total Star Wars rip-offs. So it's nice to see everything come full circle.

Yeh, i'm a Trek fan too. I grew up with Trek since i was a kid in the early '70's

Just got to reply, this site won't let post with my computer (There's no post button...) So I had to find another one.

Anyway, just wondering, why do you need another shot of the sheild?

Probably so he can BLOW IT UP!  BOOM!

Clearly... BOOOOM! Mine was bigger.

No, he's more like, never mind...

ok this is more ROTJ related, but was just surfing on wookiepedia and i found this:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Scenes_cut_from_Star_Wars

"Endor Battle - General Crix Madine was to have scenes aboard a Mon Calamari ship during the final battle. These scenes were filmed. Actor Dermot Crowley claims to have spent a few extra days filming in a moving chair shouting things such as "Fire!". There are cut shots of rebel gunners aboard the Millennium Falcon. It was rumored that the B-Wing fighters would be given more to do during the battle in the Special Editions. These scenes have apparently been held back for a future release."

anyone know what evil uncle george is plotting?

in the event of released secret footage of any of these films, would ady ever consider a star wars re-revisited?

is george actually palpatine?

It's a wiki, I wouldn't trust statements like that.  I would, however, love to see these scenes because I have SO MANY Madine figures who have nothing to do currently...

Thanks for all the info doubleofive.  I've been updating myself on all the Trek Remastered and it comes at the perfect time.  I haven't seen the original series since 1994 when my local library had them all for free to check out.  I think 14 years later it might be time to give them a new look with the new movie coming out and a fresh set of eyes that can appreciate what the original was without being too cynical.  This new flick is actually the 1st time I've been excited about a Trek movie since Generations and that was sort of a let down.  I've always had a small issue with "It was......fun".   Don't know why but that whole scene just never did it for me.  But Kirk getting killed by a Douchebag instead of in REAL battle.....

I need to stop.  Wrong thread, I know.

This looks like digital photography rather than the film stock on which Jedi was shot. It looks like it's unused stuff for the SEs. Perhaps it's a fanfilm, Game Sourcebook image, or something created for the CCG.

Sorry mate but that's the real deal. Go to http://www.starwarz.com/tbone and look through his cutscenes. Tbone has been around a long long time and I trust him and his site. This is a real pic of the scene. I saw this first about 10 years ago. Its been in my archives ever since.

I had so many Madines and no Obi-Wan that my mom painted one of their beards white and made him in a robe!  The likeness was just as "good."  That was until we found an Obi-Wan complete with his vinal cape.  I have no idea how, since I can remember not having Obi-Wan so that had to have been the very late 80's...

We are so far off topic it blows my mind.

To bring us back, ImperialFighter is having problems writing and sending me the huge emails required to finish up our mockups, so you'll all just have to wait a bit longer.

Someone should check for generator pics on the Behind the Magic CD-ROM. I would, but I just opened my box and the disc isn't in it. Could take a while to find in this house. :p
