I always thought the second Death Star looked cooler than the first.

Gasoline85 It's to fragile to move. But I agree.

Call Indiana Jones. He'll see to it. :D

Gasoline85 The way it looks from the front veiw is awesome.

@donnyfrom hackney what museum?

_"So do you!!"_

Only part-time.

🤠

Dr. Skitz Saw it too

Yeah, there are even teasers of the film still saying Revenge of the Jedi, it was a late call to make it Return of the Jedi.

I’m glad they changed the title.

It was actually always Lucas's original intent to call it Return of the Jedi but one of his friends told him it was a weak title, thus why it was changed to Revenge of the Jedi. However, very late in the game, Lucas changed it back to Return of the Jedi.

@@mrj8149 But still used this title for Revenge of the Sith...

The key to the Ferrari is all of this

CorruptEngieJR They always get the configuration wrong!

They just flipped the shot, easy.

same fate as the Titanic...

Same with Ellen Paige

George Lucas has the original Death I - II at his home.

@@taylorh.3484 Oh he's got them? I half expected them to be in some billionaire's collection. Or Trazyn's.

@@taylorh.3484 just checked, DS1 was almost thrown away, rescued for a while and then sold... Ended up being used as a trash can (laser array was gone so they dumped trash in the hole) and now some nerd has it at home. DS2 doesn't appear anywhere on a casual search but it's a completely different ball game when it comes to props, way more complex and difficult to handle. Someone must have it, I hope it's George.

Funnily enough if you look at the explosion from Jedi there were some chunks that you could see flying off after the falcon flew away and also the view in the blue sky above endor. It would make sense that these pieces would fly off and land on other planets in the system.

If you read the Star Wars comic line from Marvel, you knew around spring of 1983 they ran a story arc of: The Tarkin 😲. This was a "new" super huge space weapon. Luke, Leia, Chewie & the droids snuck aboard in a commando style direct action sabotage. Vader & Luke fought too. Of the pre ROTJ comic storylines, it was fairly good. When the DSll was shown, I said: well I guess George Lucas or ILM never reads the Marvel Comics. 😄

The Tarkin? That’s brilliant! Thanks for the info!

This oddly also happened in the Jedi Prince book series. Which amusingly also name drops a character called 'Snoke' and involves a grandchild of Palpatine.

“That belongs in a museum!”

Yeah, why not zoom in on it, have someone fly around it??

"Damn. I wish we had seen all that detail in Jedi, especially the back side." You think that maybe the reason they shot it that way was because the back side DIDN'T look good on film? I've seen models that looked BETTER in person than they did all lit up onscreen. The Enterprise-D, for instance, does NOT look good with all the lights on, not the way they shot it on video for ST:TNG... Very unconvincing to me. The first two versions of the Enterprise looked good in person AND all lit up on film. There's very few shots of those first two versions of that ship that didn't look good and those were mainly issues of lighting.

The same happened with the lava flow on Mustafar. It was reversed on screen...

> fired. > reputation gone. > attempted assassinators by fellow model builders who worked on the thing.

You would nkt even get fiered, the moddelers would eat you allive.

That's what I was thinking.

And Lucas criticised Kurtz for wasting money in ESB!

oh Hell No!

Scientists calculated that it would cost trillions.

@@user-xx6vy9ri8p Is that ALL?! Let's do it!

A-A-Anakin ?

Darn it, I forgot my wallet

That's what he said.

He faked his death to get out of nascar to work on the Death Star

Because those don't lead INTO the main reactor

Why don't they just aim a single ship into the main reactor and crash into it at light speed, oh, sorry, I was thinking in fanfict terms...

+Jeff Jefferson Jekovsky It's still in the LucasFilm Archives.

That thing never leaves the Archives. It’s too fragile, now.

A lot of props were kept. They are kept in the Star Wars Archives at Lucas Ranch. You can see it in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsqUf6dlqaqwcYU.html

@@mranderson00001 After seeing all those models in some corner or on a shelf, I'm gonna go full Indiana Jones on this and say: It belongs in a museum! :D

@@MarkArandjus There was talks about building an actual Star War museum back in 2015 in Chicago IL. Where Lucas's wife is from. Unfortunately some stupid environmental organization called Friends of The Park prevented him from getting land for the site in which it was to be built on.

@@dantasticmania8728 Stupid environmental organizations. It's not like there's more land out there to build on or already existing museums, clearly film props are more important than protecting the natural heritage of a community.

about "1:105" ;by calculating 160km (1.6 million cm) divided by 152cm over 100. based on it's 100 miles and the model is 5 feet.

Wouldn't that be 1 : 105000?

TeamLockybros 1 : 50 000 scale

Evil Ash death star ii is 900 km, so 1:630 more like. Well 1:630000

1 : 105000 is right if it's 152 cm in diameter as Krule said, probably were looking for a 1 : 100000 scale and when time to come up with a definite size rounded up to 160 Km.

It would cost trillions.

No, unfortunately not. You need purpose-built pyro models (lighter, thinner, pre-fractured with enough space to put charges) for that kind of shot. The hero models are not suitable for simply blowing them up. Also, C4 isn't used for that kind of effect work. The detonation velocity is simply too high. Visually you wouldn't get anything interesting out of it...especially not at the 240 fps commonly used for pyro at this scale.

No, and the Executor crashing into it is yet another model.

CGI isn't the problem. CGI is a tool, and it doesn't work only when it's not used properly.

I think he's alluding to the fact that with "old" movies when you saw bad practical effects it was because of budget constraints or the technique wasn't good enough to make it believable most of the time, but now with CGI they'll use it even when practical effects would've produced better results.

Have you ever taken an art class? Sometimes where things are placed and how their position can effect how well a scene looks. When you create a painting, or photo you want to create a sort of balance. This means filling certain areas in, avoiding dead space, filling in the background a certain way. Otherwise it can be visually unappealing, or mess with the focus. Also where and how you place things on the screen can send certain visual information. At the end of the Duel of Fates fight in TPM when Obi wan jumps over Maul it's actual mirrored to help maintain a sort of visual consistency with the Lightsabers. With the scene they highlight I can get a sense of why the Death Star is mirrored although I can't really put into words at the moment. All I can say is they didn't want the incomplete side on the Left.

how?

supah comix Figure it out for yourself.

What is wrong with this, Spencer?
