Ok sure, fine, the tongue has a mouth. But why does the tongue in the mouth also have a tongue? because george lucas doesn't think anything through

Arquinsiel posted:That book is a seriously cool read if you can find it. Just all kinds of batshit illustrations like that and some trying to justify the weirdass animals they invented for the universe. That book was illustrated and co-written by Terryl Whitlatch, who designed pretty much all the new aliens and creatures in Episode I. It's cool that they got a lot of the artists working on the movies from that period to do other Star Wars stuff that actually showed off their art more - apparently when Doug Chiang was working on the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, he was treating it as a warmup for Episode I, only to find out that Lucas wanted to go in a radically different direction with the movie's aesthetics.

It's amazing the work that artists have to put into these weird errata books that will probably get a lot retconned at the drop of a hat. It's not easy drawing dynamic cross-section shots, but they have to make it all look plausibly realistic. I like how there's apparently a baby sarlacc budding off of the main body.

Oh my god somebody actually wrote up a whole thing and made an interior helmet prop. I assume troopers desperately prayed for their optics to break down, because otherwise they'd probably end up in an eternal haze of popup overlays over their limited field of view. It also really doesn't fit with Star Wars technology where holograms are buggy and there's not a lot of heavily miniaturized technology. The fact that they have binoculars kind of implies that they don't have elaborate eyepieces inside the helmet. I like how there's explanations for Clone Trooper armor where the initial designs had a lot of horrible ergonomic issues because Kaminoans didn't really know much about human physiology and were just vaguely extrapolating a heavier (but with cheaper materials) model of Jango Fett's armor. And then Commander Rex winds up being a power user and does a chop-shop job on his helmet, keeping the phase 1 visor and welding that into a phase 2 helmet with the added breathing apparatus. (and of course the lil Arc Trooper antenna scope)

I really hate the new cgi mouth on the sarlaac. It looks like poo poo and it doesn't make sense and it fucks with the shots of guys getting eaten

Arquinsiel posted:I think that book actually explains them as being like anglerfish, so that's a male just disintigrating into a set of balls stuck to the side of a female sarlacc. Yeah anglerfish sex is really weird and more disturbing than a real sarlacc would be. Thank the lord these things are stuck at the bottom of the ocean because I want nothing to do with them. e: this one comes with a picture of Germany. No idea why, but lol.

I heard an interview with Carrie Fisher once where she was asked to tell them something she'd never been asked about filming Star Wars before and she replied that Alec Guinnes once payed Mark Hamill $20 to "go away."

I love how Alec Guinness hated working on Star Wars. It defined Obi-Wan in a way that an excited actor probably couldn't. That said, I would pay 20 bucks to hang out with Mark Hamill. e: lmfao $20 in 1977 money is almost $96 today. Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 12:55 on May 2, 2022 |

If I weren’t so lazy I’d photoshop Hamill and Guinness on to this.

It's funny that two guys that can call each other up on the phone feel the need to take out full page adds jerking each other off about how nooe else can make movies as big as them. Being rich rules
