From The Art of Ralph McQuarrie: pg.297

Quote:"In 1995, I was asked to work on a book titled The Illustrated Star Wars Universe.  I really wasn't sure if I could do it, because I was sort of through with Star Wars.  I looked at some of the things I didn't gt a chance to do during the films that I thought I could finally complete, and I signed up for it.  It was really quite a pleasure.  These are a few of my favorite paintings from that book.

The "Jawa swap-meet on Tatooine" is the second of the images shown.

Well! Thank you for that.

Given that DSLRs give good image quality, and they don't need to record the sound...why not?

So they want the aesthetics of McQuarrie with the colors of ANH? So far, so good.

I didn't think the paintings in that book were made for that book?

I have to say, Lindelof really did reuse the ending of Lost in this film.

I'm not sure how they had time to get all those cryotubes out of the torpedoes.

I'm not sure how a torpedo would work when most of it seemed to be taken up by a cryotube.

The TWOK parallels became too heavy. The scream was really dumb.

Why couldn't they just use some other superman's blood to heal Kirk? Yes, Spock needs to catch Khan, but it doesn't seem like "the only way to save Kirk".

Otherwise, I liked it.

What about using photos from the set as reference?

Photos from the set often have different lighting and do not have any sort of color grading applied. They're incredibly inaccurate to the look of the actual film at times.

4 years of waiting all in vain.  Now very very worried about Star Wars VII.

Different writers. Was it a well-directed film, aside from its script?

Star Wars: Episode VII will be directed by JJ Abrams, from a script by Little Miss Sunshine writer Michael Arndt. Lucas will serve as a creative consultant on the new films.

To quote Vader "NOOOOOOOO!"

He's not directing, he's not writing dialogue.

So, he's right where he's good.

Finally, Vader's hologram will look decent.

Or another group could build a scanner.

Has anybody done a mix of the star wars movie mix audio with the music reduced or eliminated already?

Many have tried, many have found it pretty impossible.

Yes, Ryan, the joke is known. http://i.imgur.com/MINRv.jpg

Interesting to see another shot from, evidently, the same shoot. Although some of the models are different/have moved.

Wish he had reel 1, but otherwise this is fantastic.

MARCUS is building a Warship in secret that is much larger than the enterprise - can travel faster warp speeds - can fire while at warp!!! - can't recall if they actually reference the ship by name in the movie.

The Vengeance.

In the end they just put KHAN back into cryo in a warehouse and set out on the 'five year mission'

Oh good :)

Have you watched The Animated Series yet? It's essentially the fourth season of TOS in my book.

 

Didn't the Animated series run for two seasons?

Yes, although season 2 is only 6 episodes: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Animated_Series

D: Aaaaaaaaagh that made me INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE

but I KIND OF want to see it

AAAAGH

Time travel replies!

One of the best imagemacros out there, and you use that as the text?

Pretty leftie choice if you ask me. Poor form.

You shouldn't expect to be able to complete every step of this obviously long process yourself. That being said, having this list of steps from your exploration of the problem is pretty useful, as a roadmap. The project should then be tackled in babysteps. First, dirt removal.

Well those wings are waaaaaay too small

They are tiny compared to what they should be.

Take another look.  It's clearly not a completed drawing.  The struts are an indication of how big the wings will be - and they look in proportion to the cockpit.

So, as goes well with the crane, a TIE under construction?

SW model building! = Epic nerdgasm

As someone who's done some computer programming, this was very confusing.

You need to shut up.

This is no way to conduct a message board.

AAAaaAAHHH!! Get the freak!

And so the oppressed becomes the oppressor.

Anyway, left handed people are clearly up to no good. Why else would the Latin for left-handed essentially be the word "sinister"? Proof by etymology.

Interestingly enough I've seen all of Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and The Next Generation. Yet TOS I've yet to complete watching. I guess I feel like once I've done that. That's it. No more Star Trek series for me to watch with completely fresh eyes sort of speak.

What about Enterprise?

I simply don't like Enterprise enough to want to watch the entire thing. I'm pretty confident that I've likely seen the best of Enterprise already anyway.

 

What have you seen?
