I'm fascinated by the storyboard where Greedo shoots first, almost as much as the one with the exploding ring around the Death Star. Man, I'm glad they left those on the drawing board.

Darkstar was a bad Sci-fi film with a beach ball alien and talking bombs.

The original designs for the Falcon were too close to Space 1999.

It's been a long time since I dug out the old Star Wars RPG book, but that Falcon design looks an awful lot like the stock light freighter(?) in the RPG.

I never understood where the stupid names for Star Wars characters came from since Luke, Han, Ben and Leia all seem normal.

After them we get Zam, Jango, Boba, Anakin...

 
BarryJV 2008-11-13 08:58:57 PM  
Purity Of Essence: Dan O'Bannon's "Sgt. Pinback" is one of cinema's greatest comedic performances.

Also, large amounts of Alien come directly from Dark Star and parts of Star Wars are obviously influenced by it. Take a look at the external shots of the Dark Star with the communications dome and compare it with the external shots of X-wings with the R2 units, especially the scenes where the dome is sending digital communications to the rest of the ship.

They all had normal first names, which made it okay. The last names, less so. Solo is a little odd, Skywalker is serious cheese, etc. The ill-fated Biggs' last name was Darklighter. Apparently this was a theme.

in order to smuggle shiat, you have to have a story to tell customs on what you're supposedly doing. legit cargo makes this immeasurably easier.

This is linked in the comments on the page, but it's worth a look if you want a LOT of insight into the likely creation process of the movies. Someone has way to much time on their hands. But it killed a lot of time while it was slow at work(Very boring job). It was better than looking at the walls for 6 hours a day.

Yeah, but what the hell do stock YT-1300s do with their cargo?

Barakku: I like Sheridan...

Starkiller was Sheridan's name among the Minbari for his victory over their flagship in the Earth-Minbari War.

Also a subplot that annoyed the hell out of me. The Minbari somehow took offense to his mining an asteroid and luring them in with a "distress" signal to blow it away with a nuke. Partly annoying because the flagship was coming in to finish off a disabled vessel, and partly because the Minbari weren't taking any prisoners to start with. I wanted Sheridan or someone to say this to a Minbari character, but they never did.

I never noticed how awful the shoes are on the slave Leia costume before.

Does that make me gay?

Naw, it took you 25 years to notice. If you noticed right away the first time you watched it, that's another story.


I like the timing on my post below pxtl's. Unintentional, but good.

tdpatriots12: Barakku: I like Sheridan...

Starkiller was Sheridan's name among the Minbari for his victory over their flagship in the Earth-Minbari War.

Also a subplot that annoyed the hell out of me. The Minbari somehow took offense to his mining an asteroid and luring them in with a "distress" signal to blow it away with a nuke. Partly annoying because the flagship was coming in to finish off a disabled vessel, and partly because the Minbari weren't taking any prisoners to start with. I wanted Sheridan or someone to say this to a Minbari character, but they never did.


All that, and if I remember correctly, he hated the name. Not the deed, no, that was necessary. I like Sheridan, too, but I'd hate to have that name saddled on me when the whole war was a mistake anyway.

I could be wrong but isn't the MF a "highly modified YT-1300 light freighter?" Could it be possible that there is storage space that we just don't see because... storage rooms are boring?

in order to smuggle shiat, you have to have a story to tell customs on what you're supposedly doing. legit cargo makes this immeasurably easier.

BarryJV: Purity Of Essence: Dan O'Bannon's "Sgt. Pinback" is one of cinema's greatest comedic performances.

Also, large amounts of Alien come directly from Dark Star and parts of Star Wars are obviously influenced by it. Take a look at the external shots of the Dark Star with the communications dome and compare it with the external shots of X-wings with the R2 units, especially the scenes where the dome is sending digital communications to the rest of the ship.


Not surprising when you consider that Dark Star and Alien were both written by the same guy, Dan O'Bannon. He also crewed on all three films doing effects/design work, as did Ron Cobb.
