I made a logo based on the Solo logo, feel free to use it.

I really like this logo. The K and the 7 look closer than both 7s are. I think a bit more kerning between the K and the 7, and a bit less between the 7s would look great.

Or just reduce the kerning between the 7s to homogenize the gap between the letters on the top edge.

A third idea is to do the 4 with the extended horizontal stroke on the back side. This would visually balance the left side with the right a little more, as the 7s create larger gaps along the baseline

Those are based on the official SW font Astro. Unless someone is willing to send me the actual font, that is as close as you can get trying to match the font. Luckily the 7s were the easiest one to produce, unlike 80 or 83…

I’ll have to check the spaces.

What is/was the best SW Game ever, on any platform?

Some old Star Wars games are heading the Xbox One’s way… (through it’s ‘Backward Compatibility’ catalog)

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2018/04/10/backward-compatibility-april-update/

Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Battlefront II, Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Star Wars Jedi Starfighter,
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, & Star Wars Republic Commando

 


 

There is now a Star Wars Gaming Section in the ‘General Star Wars Discussion’ Index for some of the gaming threads in here down the years.

 

Pretty cool. I still own all non-PT Xbox games and I’ve been eyeing an Xbox One… When the 4K version gets cheaper this seems like a good buy.

What's Actually in the Movies? (for a GURPS RPG)

  1. Does the ‘A-Wing’ aka A-Fighter in Return of the Jedi ever jump to/from hyperspace on screen?

In the shot where the fleet jumps to hyperspace, five A-Wings are seen jumping. They are very blurry though.

If you think about it, it’s pretty weird that all the fighters go to lightspeed separately and not inside the capital ships.

It wouldn’t look as exciting or lend it the feel of a last desperate assault with everything they’ve got.

Of course I meant realistically speaking, not cinematically.

Here’s two questions I had:

  1. is the battle station in “Return of the Jedi” ever actually referred to as the ‘Death Star’? I know it’s obviously modeled on the first one, but just the same two ships of the same class can have different names.

  2. Does the ‘A-Wing’ aka A-Fighter in Return of the Jedi ever jump to/from hyperspace on screen?

Have you actually seen the movie? Death Star is mentioned like 30 times and probably half of it is from Ackbar’s speech where he repeats it even in the same sentences.

kk650's Regraded Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi V2 (blanket yellow tint removed from blu-ray)
Time

Guys, taste it. It isn’t snow, it’s salt.

I agree with others, blue push is a little too aggressive.

And I have to say, that first shot looks so green screen… When I watched the final “duel” for the second time, them standing on the desert looked so fake I couldn’t believe. There was no feel of vastness or space at all.

Rogue One UAR: anyone interested? (* unfinished project *)

Good job with the testclip. Can you make a version without the opening crawl?

Thansk!

Of course, I could make a “plain” version, simply UAR, no added crawl, no color correction etc. - even if I think it will be a bit boring… 😄

I’d be interested in that, if it also includes the original audio. Maybe it’s my mistake, but I thought this was preserving all the image possible, but it seems this may be more of a fan edit.
