STAR WARS: EP V "REVISITED EDITION"ADYWAN - 12GB 1080p MP4 VERSION AVAILABLE NOW — Page 530

I always love looking at McQuarrie's work; such awesome concept designs and paintings. :)

Anyway for those of you who haven't seen the trailer for the new Family Guy Star Wars parody, Something Something Something Darkside. Here it is:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glIayvYl0lE

The quality is not perfect, but it is watchable and was the only one I could find on YouTube.

And try not to tell me that it's off-topic. It is....kind of....but we all know which episode it's related to ;)

So let me get this right...Once the Rebels evacuate Hoth...They leave this bad boy behind?

No wonder they're always scrounging for ships etc....What a waste!!!

Good thinking. But you just know there's probably some EU story out there that mentions them going back. :p If not, maybe some lurker here will add it to a story someday. "Star Wars: Ion Cannon Retrieval"

Here's the shot where it looks like a couple guys are trying to look out a window in the rebel control room:



Watch it in motion, the guy with the arrow is defiantly not looking at the glass, but leaning forward to look through it and down.  The problem with putting a window there is the lighting, unless the window just happens to be in shadow in the outside shot.

Here is a cut out of the cannon and fire control....it's not cannon but it can give us some pointers. :)

This made me LOL when I read it over the weekend.

That guy must be looking out at something..right? unless it's the lunch time specials in the Hoth cantina?

I thought there was a story about the Rebels who stayed behind to blow it up, but apparently I was wrong.  It's featured in Dark Forces IV: Jedi Knight III: Jedi Outcast II: Jedi Academy as being fully functional 10 years later.  I was right about Rebels staying behind (from Alderaan even), but they just stayed behind to man it until the last minute.

"...I wanted to nail those slime lickers!"

Hehe. What enjoyable dialog!

Has anybody else noticed that they have selected parts of Official Star Wars canon to disregard as having actually happened? For example, I think of the Clone Wars cartoons/animated series and most of the comics as elaborate fan fiction.

A few issues though: if you look at the cave ceiling behind the glass panels, it curves a good 4 to 6 feet behind the panel the guy is looking at/through (it also appears to be another tactical display like the other 2 we see).

Now it could be FXed up to BE a window to the outside; one could create a window with a good 10 to 20 foot overhang (with the reason being that it would make the window impossible to see from orbit, and thus get them spotted.. of course, you got the frikkin huge ion cannon, but that could be reconditioned to look more like part of the mountain or given some element of camouflage.  Maybe when we see the first shot of the ion cannon, we get a glimpse of a cloaking or camouflage device deactivating?).  Here is a rough sketch:



The rebel base layout would have to be something along this line as well:

Hey! I love those! You did again as you done it with the bespin's shaft.

It makes total sense and i dont care if its oficially or EU as well.

But despite the fact the awesomeness, the cannon is too low so we can see it from the window in the shot above.

That's why I've stayed here for so long...hahaha

I make an off the cuff remark about the bloody Ion cannon, and it turns out there is some kind of back story about it!!

Gotta love Star Wars!!!!

Uhm heh but everything is ok over here...on firefox :D

Sorry.... :(

Perhaps I am a forum saboteur..

making you quiet means less work for Adywan >_>

The problem with putting a window there isn't just with the lighting but it is also part of the command centre that we see earlier on in the movie. So changing any part of the set would throw in a big continuity issue.

I knew I should have done what you did there. Call me lazy. Still the question remains: what the heck are they peering down at?!

we can assume that are different rooms as we do in Executor bridge or bespin. Wise set of camera and lightning in the same set and we have our new room. Like they succed in tantive IV corridors.

You can put different graphics to the panels and you have a unique feeling.

I think he just dropped his pack of gum down there.

But they are supposed to be the same room. Both scenes even have the same person sitting at same control desk

well he's probably trying to look down at the screen the rebel is looking at in the first shot
