Wow...that's an awesome paintjob.

Yeah, that was created by a friend of mine who does this kind of stuff for a living.


Outstanding work... simply outstanding. Would love to buy a War of the Worlds Tripod, but money is just not there.

UNC_Samurai: 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.

Isn't that the proper description? Greedo never shoots, first or otherwise, in the original version.

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.

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.

Right, and every time would be a reminder of all those deaths by mistake. Not to mention that it wouldn't all be free drinks, since I'm sure the future will have their own version of Fred Phelps.

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?
meh, doesn't matter.
