Design failures (and successes) of the PT

I like the Jedi starfighter designs, but again, why did there have to be a new one in ROTS? It’s sort of indicative of the general problem of the PT designs. More does not equal better.

I liked the one from ROTS, it incorporated some TIE fighter designs (window and interior cockpit) which was cool to see.

The subtle progression towards OT-era tech was cool to see in ROTS.

Right, the idea from a design perspective is clearly a felt-need to drive the look closer to the OT. But would their starfighter design change that dramatically in just a few short years? Does it make sense? Probably not - but the decision was made from the wrong reasons.

I doubt even PT fans could name any of Padme’s ships.

There’s the one that looks like a silver bar of soap

And the other one that looks like a silver bar of soap.

You forget, she had three ships. The big pointy one, the big airplane, and the little one.

Naboo Royal Starship
Naboo royal cruiser
H-Type Nubian yacht

Exactly! Of the three, the big airplane one is obviously silly, because the AOTC design team had a real thing for airplanes (see: all the propeller planes used in the SFX), so it’s a good thing they blow it up right away. The third one is coolest, because it’s essentially Padme’s Galactic Sports Car, but the first one is appropriate for the entourage it contains. It might even be a little small for the job.

But after a little Wookieepediaing, I have discovered I missed a fourth ship! Unfortunately, it is worse than any of its predecessors, in which the coolness of the third ship has been ruined by attaching the wings of the second ship to its bow.

Ever thought about erasing Threepio’s arm that enters the shot at 12:46? It’s an obvious continuity error.

There’s probably several protocol droids in that thing. Doesn’t have to be 3PO.

I would agree except that like two shots later is obviously a continuation of the same shot

<strong>The Mandalorian</strong> - a general discussion thread - * <em><strong>SPOILERS</strong></em> *
Time

Many people have said they want to see Star Wars without Jedi, but I have to say that Star Wars where no one knows about Jedi but you have a Jedi baby and you have to ask the most knowledgeable person you know and all are knows is that there are legends of them existing… It’s pretty great. Really looking forward to Mando eventually meeting a CGI de-aged Mark Hammil at the end of the series.

Hi, where can I download the HD version for A New Hope??
Thanks.

Wrong thread (Should be https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/STAR-WARS-EP-IV-2004-REVISITED-ADYWAN-720p-HD-VERSION-NOW-IN-PRODUCTION/id/5942) but the answer is that you can not. Adywan is still working on the HD version.

Thanks for the update.
Empire’s 40th anniversary is in May-that would be an opportune time to release the 4K set. Plus, you know Disney would love to ding you twice-release Rise of Slywalker on Blu ray in March, then the 4K box-set in May.

Wrong thread?

Right thread, actually. He’s responding to the latest update: https://swrevisited.wordpress.com/2019/12/14/december-2019-update/

The “For Your Consideration” site by Disney has leaked the usual alternative soundtrack, with track names spoiling details of the plot.

However, they removed it shortly after. However, I have the whole thing in MP3 format. 😃

Cool story. Can you post that track list here at least, so we can all talk about it?

I liked 5 more than 4. Though I was skeptical on her first appearance, by the end I thought Sedaris was great. Same goes for the dopey idiot of a wannabe bounty hunter.

But yeah, agree that it’s probably Fett. I am simultaneously rolling my eyes and intrigued.

As for the Raiders, I think their respirators were all wrong?

Hey everyone, I accidentally read some spoilers, so I guess I’m here now instead of the no-spoiler thread. Anyway, the stuff I read was pretty crazy, but then I read some other stuff that seemed to conflict it. So…is there anywhere where I can read a summary of the current state of speculation and leaks, instead of sifting through 127 pages?
