Grendels Dad posted:it's the best New Era Star Wars design. That's probably because it's not actually a new design. Before bringing on Ralph McQuarrie, Lucas hired Colin Cantwell (who'd done work on 2001) to start the design process for the first movie, including some art that would eventually find it's way onscreen many decades later:   The ship actually briefly appeared in Solo before being featured in Andor:  It had other scenes that were cut from the movie, and re-using the asset in Andor was probably both cheaper than designing a new ship, and made more story sense than a full-sized Star Destroyer being there. They also might have been able to use the style Light Cruiser that Moff Gideon had in The Mandalorian, but that actually used a 5 foot long practical model, so they may not have built a CG version of the whole ship.

Thanks for the background information, I just love all of those goofy fuckers. Looking back to compare, it seems like they put the dishes on the other side of the spearhead in Andor, facing forward, as it were. It still looks extremely dumb, you have this sleek design that screams Deadly Force and you put a bunch of dishes on it to convey Surveillance.

Well, originally they were the main guns, but it got turned into a tractor beam ship somehow.

The weird thing is, that little coffee cup moment is actually from the script:quote:MOTTI This definitely would have been written after David Prowse had been cast, so Lucas was already planning to keep Vader's helmet on all the time to make him easier to dub, so I think it was just supposed to be a weird little power move. The third draft script has Vader doing something similar, though it's much earlier in the movie, and he actually drinks from it while somehow still waring his mask: quote:12-13. INT. REBEL SPACEFIGHTER – HALLWAY – CABIN

Straws exist. Vader's straw would obviously be pitch black to appear slightly less lame.

They're space cups. They cool your hand while keeping your beverage warm. Just put "space" in front of something and it makes it more magical.

I'm reminded of in Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars (the first thing Disney did with the Star Wars license!) Candace and her troopers are assigned with acquiring socks for Darth Vader. A reminder: Darth Vader doesn't have feet.

Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:I would totally eat pizza the hut. My 4yo twins loving LOVE Spaceballs. I think we watched it like 6 times last weekend. They laugh like crazy when Dark Helmet zaps the officer "in the nards." But anyway, I asked them if they wanted to eat Pizza the Hut. One said "no he's gross and too spicy," and the other said "I don't want to eat pizza Jabba."

These obviously aren't due to the influence of Spaceballs since they came first, but it just hit me that in Star Trek III, Kirk and Sarek find out what happened to Spock's katra by just watching a clip from Star Trek II (including fast forwarding and rewinding) and in Star Trek IV, the Starfleet jury determine the circumstances in the Enterprise's destruction by watching a clip from Star Trek III.
