Honestly I love the fact that the irony of buying this thing he hates so much only to destroy it after he already paid for it is lost on him.

Which is a sane and rational thing to do.

NTRabbit posted:Same as in Star Trek, the physical models usually look way better up until the point where they need to explode, which is where no practical effect can match CG Are physical props and miniatures just too expensive nowadays to be worth it compared to CGI for most productions? Or is it just a case that it isn't worth the time to make them rather than the monetary investment? I think Terminator II probably has some of the best special effects in movies and it seems to be because it used a good mix of practical effects and CGI, even when the CGI was rather simplistic and early days and the practical effects ensure the whole still holds up regardless of some ropey computer effects. banned from Starbucks posted:The main character is a white guy He definitely looks fairly generically white, but with a name like "Kazudo" I'd assume there's some Asian influence in there. The production team might have played his character design safe and made it kind of Asian/kind of European just in case but I'd say between his name and his VA there's a fairly clear intent. TheCenturion posted:Aren’t they literally a racing team? I hope the show keeps to racing stuff for a while to ground the characters, mostly because I want some stuff that isn't "Rebels/Empire" (or some derivative) in Star Wars and a more "slice of life racing team" story would be cool. Even if they keep the spying stuff to the B plots for a while it'll be cool.

I don't know if it's cost or lost expertise - good miniatures look great, but bad miniature work will always look worse than even middle of the road CG, and trying to blend good physical models with the sort of CG needed to meet modern expectations is probably far too expensive for a TV show. Bad miniature work has a camp feel to it, like watching old episode of The Thunderbirds, or Red Dwarf, but without the nostalgia. The Expanse is the best one going right now, and they're entirely CG out in space; even The Orville only has a physical model for certain shots, and switches to CG for the more involved scenes.

Miniatures have a great look but only when everything else is being done that way. Once you start trying to compete with what CG can do, it just all falls apart. Like, Return of the Jedi has some of the best miniature work put to screen. But looks at the breakdown of the shots. There's only a couple of minutes total of miniature shots and most are with a static (or nearly static) camera. There's some really complex shots of ships moving around and following other ships but most shots are "ship flies past in one direction". As soon as you want to do more complicated panning shots or long takes, CG makes everything easier. Or if the industry has moved on to more complex action, the audience expects to see that in future films. Madurai posted:High definition has done no favors to miniatures work in movies past. There is this weirdness to how sharp the Star Destroyers look in Rouge One. They feel overly detailed and sharpened but I know its just the ultra-detailed CG models (likely based on direct scans of older miniatures) filling in the gaps my mind did for me with the older movies.

I don't know, the Laika productions tend to blend stop-motion and CGI work beautifully, and a lot of their work is extremely intricate and detailed. I suppose the scale is still much smaller than space ships, though.

Given the thread title, I assume it's been posted before, but I just found out that Freddie Prinze had the cast on his YouTube channel a while back to play the Fantasy Flight version of the Star Wars RPG. It's him, Vanessa Marshall (Hera), Taylor Gray (Ezra), Steve Blum (Zeb) and Mary-Elizabeth McGlynn (Pryce) with Sam Witwer (Maul) running the game. Kind of neat because there's kind of a whole gamut of gamers there. Vanessa and Taylor seem to be completely new, Freddie is obviously a big tabletop guy but hasn't played an RPG for a while, and Steve and Mary play D&D semi-regularly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpbRqZT7-tc

site posted:Im not gonna watch some dumb yt fan vid, whats the tldr for thinking we're gonna get another order 66 arc They interviewed one of the writers at a convention, and he said that for the finale they decided to explore the idea that some/all of the Grandpas hadn't actually removed their control chips before order 66, as most people had assumed, taking Wolffe's reaction to Kanan by taking a shot at him and saying "the Jedi are here for revenge" as a starting point. Also that Rex, Gregor, and Wolffe would all have been on different planets when the order came down. The youtubers did more speculating about Rex than the writer did, trying to make it fit in with the Ahsoka book and convincing themselves more than anyone else.

I threw on a random episode of Clone Wars just to have something on in the background with my 2 year old, and it was an episode with Jar Jar posing as a Jedi and hiding in water. She was transfixed to the screen, and turned to me slowly and said, "Jar Jar under the water!" while smiling. So she's into it. I'll take what I can get, whenever she likes what she calls, "Pew pew TV".

Star Wars captivates another youngling. And that, my goon friends, is why George Lucas came up with Jar Jar Binks.

I liked that episode of Clone Wars. Pairing Jar Jar and Threepio up is fun because for the first time in his life, Threepio has to be the straight man in a comedy duo. Also: One of the most interesting parts of the TPM commentary track is Lucas talking about how for young kids, one of the scariest parts of the movie is when Jar Jar gets his hand stuck in the pod racer turbine as they’re about to start it up.

I didn't have a problem with the Gungans, but I suuuuuuure didn't like Jar Jar and his antics. I remember being concerned that he might lose his hand during the aforementioned podracer scene but most other times he just annoyed me because he seemed a little too stupid. That and him just eating everything with his tongue was gross
