Understaffed and on a deadline knowing it's his ass if the project isn't completed on time. Even in a galaxy far far away, you got to deal with management's bullshit.

Just want to post it here. When I was in high school I was (still am!) really into outfit design. This one was my favourite. It is a tunic based on the uniforms worn by ISB agents in episode 4, although the details are little bit different. I used a Bundeswehr belt because it was the closest thing I could find😂

just thought i’d share this fan film i made with me and my friends, it’s inspired by Star wars Visions the ronin and Akira Kurosawa!

here's the link via youtube https://youtu.be/vnBCzvo-TSI

i wanted to get your thoughts on this non traditional style for star wars? im still new to vfx so ik the lightsabers are a little choppy (my main experience is color grading and videography) but any thoughts would be welcomed!

Had to break on the nostalgia boxes

Thanks

Had to downsize my collection into one room and didn't have anywhere to display my 4D Puzzle models. But decided to try hanging them on the wall.

The power scaling seemed insane in the Old Republic lore compared to the movies.

The Sith powers in the movies is just I can shoot lightning, and I can use telekinesis

Four arms would definitely be useful for a lot of everyday tasks, and I always think of the Besalisks as one of the cooler options for a four-armed alien species. They're also a lot stronger than humans at base, which would make carrying things easier.

Clawdites can change the color and shape of their skin to take on different appearances, and that could be a lot of fun to have. It would be weird having to figure out a specific face you want instead of walking around green, though, unless you did want to just have the green skin.

Lastly, Togrutas have echolocation out to 82 feet thanks to their head-tails, and I guess I would really enjoy that extra ability to detect things around me.

MASSIVE UNMARKED SPOILERS FOR ZERO COMPANY BELOW THIS POINT.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Trick from Star Wars Zero Company is an example of how to subvert expectations properly.

Going into the game, we know that Trick was wounded in battle and despite making a FULL RECOVERY, was slated to be sent back to Kamino as a maintenance clone until Hawks pulls some strings and gets discharged. If you look at Trick's armor and his face in game, you'll notice that a lot of damage and the wounds was done to his head. Specifically the right side of his head.

Now, what do we know about clone troopers that would cause them to be declared unfit for battle because of a head wound to the right side of their head?

Bingo, it's the inhibitor chip. It's located on the right side of their head, and it's likely that a head wound could potentially damage the chip and prevent it from functioning correctly. Which perfectly explains why the Kaminoans wouldn't want him on the front lines: there's a good chance he's defective.

Now, if you paid attention to the Zero Company trailers and the timeframe you would clearly know that ZCOM takes place during the waning days of the Clone Wars, and specifically that Order 66 occurs during the game. It's really the only explanation for why you're being shot at by a pure grey Venator, something that only came about AFTER Order 66.

Now, I'm sure you're wondering what this has to do with "subverting expectations" properly. Well, I'll get into it now.

Trick is a clone trooper and part of your squad. You also have a Jedi in your squad. You know Order 66 happens. That begs the question of how are you going to have both a Jedi and clone in your squad if Order 66 is going to happen.

Well, look at the info above. Trick makes a full recovery, but is declared unfit for combat because of a wound to the right side of his head. If you're a Clone Wars fan like I am, you probably figure that Trick's inhibitor chip is damaged and Order 66 will fail to trigger in him, or it will be a more minor version like what the Bad Batch experienced at first.

Heck, even going into the Order 66 cutscene, Trick is with you guys while Stillwatch are all spouting lines showing Order 66 has triggered. You figure Trick is still on your side since no one has said Order 66, no one has talked to Trick.

And then he just keeps standing there. And takes aim at your forces. And the only choice is to shoot his friends with the description being "good soldiers follow orders".

That's how you subvert expectations. You're going into Order 66, fully expecting Trick to be on your side. Only for them to pull the rug out from under you and genuinely surprise you by revealing the head damage and Trick's backstory were all a red herring.

Thus, when you get to Order 66, you're genuinely surprised. You think one thing's going to happen, only for something else to happen. Except in this case the something else was actually good. If Trick was just a 100% normal clone, them him betraying you during Order 66 wouldn't be a surprise at all. You'd be expecting it.

But by setting it up so that those with knowledge of the setting think that Order 66 won't affect him, they can then be genuinely surprised because the hints and foreshadowing were just red herrings allowing them to actually be surprised when Order 66 comes around.

As an aside it's pretty interesting how a clone could actually tell another clone to "execute Order 66" and then actually tell that clone to act normal until a signal is given.

Enjoyed playing this game a lot. Will start Jedi: Survivor soon.

At first in the first Episode I thought it was Coruscant. I am also watching the second season of The Caped Crusador, it seems so much like a Gotham City in a Galaxy far away.

Ngl it’d be pretty fucking cool to see this happen in the franchise someday

It was hard to make it look like the movie.

That's how I'd describe the movie, while at first mando deal with empire remnents , the hutts twins feel more like the movie main villains with their ties to rotta who doesn't want to be like his father, noticed characters from previous shows did had a role in this one too (I reccall already seeing that bounty hunter in the clone wars and zeb is more of a secondary character).

The scene in clone wars where he goes bald is entertaining, but what’s even more interesting is the fact that reconstructive surgery can be performed simply by ejecting something into the neck.

Hey, my girlfriend never agreed to watch a star wars movie with me until today. She wants me to choose one. What donyou guys think would be a good choice to intoduce her to the franchise? I think she watched parts of episode one and wasnt the biggest fan. Besides that she didnt watch anything.

I just bought a Swedish factory sealed Revenge of the Sith on VHS, this version is widescreen and in English.
I already own the Finnish ex rental release, which is basically the same version, but the Swedish one, is the last THX tape ever released, so that makes it a bit more special.

these changes from George really need to stop…
