Especially when you're on a TV schedule where you're sometimes presenting several iterations of any given piece, and then turning around additional notes on that for the next day, anything that saves time and still lets you get the point across is going to help rather than hinder the process. Applying a generic filter across a collage of photos, 3d models, and paintovers is just going to help everything blend together in a way that doesn't distract from what the art is trying to convey. Should they publish the art as part of their actual TV show? Maybe not, but it's more interesting than the credits Star Wars usually has, and is cheaper than going full Marvel with it.

Hello, career artist here: It's not "just concept art" when they include high res versions of all of them in the same specific style within the actual show. At that point it is very much production art and is created to be so. I don't really care for the filter effect they're putting on it, but the techniques mentioned are all very common.

They could look better, imo. Filter effects are pretty ugly and cheap looking, but that's also because I know and recognize them as such, so I'm not the target audience.

They're fine to great. For end credits material to keep nerds interested they do the job and then some.

*my* biggest problem with the concept art is that for BOBF at least most of the concept art is way more evocative than what actually got transported to screen.

What's most likely the process here? Is it probably a bunch of much rougher concept art pieces done for the actual storyboards and production work, and they've taken a few at the end to carry on developing on for the credit sequences?

I don't like the concept art because it delays the next episode button popping up on D+.

It’s weird that by giving the Mandalorian a roll to play in Boba Fett’s story, I now care about Boba Fett despite not caring about him for like 30 years because the shiny helmet nerd that I actually care about is also his ride or die homie.

I wouldn’t normally really care about that sort of thing except for that Season 1-2 of The Mandalorian were really, really good about exactly that issue, and the end of credits art elevated the show in a way that it fails to do so here, because I find myself ending every episode with “oh, that’s what they were going for” instead of “wow, exactly, they perfectly executed their creative vision”.

I like the implications of this story. In the future when we inevitably revisit Tatooine, it will just be an incidental detail that Boba Fett is Daimyo of Mos Espa, and we can get something about how Mos Espa is a pretty good place now. The audience will know how that came to be and it'll be neat. I think just kind of casually hearing that Boba Fett rules a portion of Tattoine would be really sinister given what we knew of Boba Fett, if we hadn't gotten this show to explain the bond he forged with the Tuskens and how it changed him. Now we can feel good about it. Boba Fett is cool and it's cool that he's a crime lord now. I was frustrated with the show for just killing off all of Boba Fett's Tusken family, because I really like them, even though the particular plot was about an outsider teaching the natives how to be natives even better. That's usually a vaguely racist tired trope, and killing off whole groups to motivate the main character is pretty lovely, especially when they're coded as native. However, I think the show then took things in an interesting direction. Boba Fett took what he learned from the Tuskens with him. He didn't go off to be the outsider savior of the Tuskens, instead he internalized the Tusken values of community and brought those with him. When he had the opportunity to rule, he took it, but not for the sake of power, rather for the sake of community. That whole plot works really well on a thematic level. So you have this bounty hunter who's kind of an idiot, but has a newfound sense of what the world should be like, and he bumbles around making friends and then standing up for them. Pretty good, overall. Decent use of Boba Fett. "Silent badass in cool armor" is kind of Din's brand now, so they needed to do something else with Boba, and I think they found something satisfying. It's not going to be as viscerally satisfying as "silent badass in cool armor," but overall a good idea executed well enough. I like getting to know a particular place and seeing it evolve, in contrast to having a bunch of amazing people and locations flash by in the background as so many evocative images. I like all those images and I'll be glad to get back to the Mandalorian's adventures, but it's nice to settle down and get to know a place better. In Star Wars, the only planet you could do that with is going to be Tatooine, and Boba Fett is as good a character as any to tell a story of Tatooine.

Why would Tatooine be the only place you could stick around? Star Wars is like 85% Tatooine by volume. It's a big galaxy. Go somewhere else.

Tattooine is a cool location. I don't get the complaints about it being overused. It's on the edge of the rest of civilization just barely out of the eyes of whoever is in power, a good location for stories.

Star Wars is always going to be a space western and therefore poo poo is going to take place on desert planets. I love how much the Mandoverse has expanded on the people, places, and culture of Tattoine, even going back to season 1 of Mandolorian.

Tatooine is Star Wars, it has all of the most memorable Star Wars stuff. Jawas, Tuskens, Cantinas, it's the home planet of both the hero and villian, along with old Ben Kenobi. Jabbas palace owns, the sarlacc owns. Totally understandable that they keep returning to it rather than boring rear end ice/forest/city planet.

Tattooine naturally has the most developed society and culture in Star Wars just because it's used so much. I don't mind it being used, it just doesn't have much visual variety. Personally I want to see more Coruscant both pre and post Empire. It's the closest we ever get to a modern metropolitan city in Star Wars. stev fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Feb 18, 2022 |

Even in ANH Luke says as much, it's the farthest place from anywhere of interest and the only thing people do there of note is leave it.

Star Wars isn’t much about the awe and wonder if science fiction. It’s a setting to tell western and adventure stories that would work completely independent of being a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

I also think that desert planet is an easier lift because you don't have to make exotic flora and a lot of it. And once you get a desert planet, you might as well make it Tatooine.

Sash! posted:Biggs was even like "pfff the Empire probably wouldn't even defend the place." People willingly joined the Empire because it was a better prospect than Tatooine. The place sucks that badly. Remember the PR spin for the Empire is mostly that it's a good society. The average citizen only ran into the darker aspects if you either weren't human or were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Running off to be an Officer or Pilot looks like a good career on paper if you haven't seen the real side of the Empire. Also Biggs never actually served, he and a bunch of other pilots stole a transport and defected in basic training iirc.

Since we got analogs for Clint Eastwood and Liev van Cleef, can we get a Jack Palence? Also with Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing playing such prominent roles, can we get Vincient Price as well (even if we got to deep fake him)?
