chowyunskinny Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 (edited) Is Saesee Tiin wearing Makeup in the that picture? maybe Yoda's instructing the Younglings on the proper way to do pushups LOL... thx for the pics Prime Edited December 30, 2004 by chowyunskinny
lt.actionjackson Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 For some reason that pic of yoda groveling? crying? begging? is very effective. I wonder if this is a scene after the younglings are killed? Was there a caption for that pic?
CoryHolmes Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 I gotta admit, the Yoda CGI has come a long way from that small walk cycle in Episode I. It's looking better and better.
bsu legato Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Yoda just got pwn3d in that pic. Trust me.
bsu legato Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Obi Wan sitting on what's left of the Jedi Council.
bsu legato Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Sidious makes a collect call to the Seperatist leadership.
bsu legato Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Palpatine looking at....er, something. (I'm guessing this is on the Seperatist Flagship, probably after he's been rescued and Dooku has been, er...dispatched.)
EXO Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Yoda just got pwn3d in that pic. Trust me. you sure he's not just humping a frog?
zeo-mare Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 looks like Obiwan chases Grevious on some sort of lizard, i wonder how that is going to look in the film. Man.... I've been waiting for like 6 years for this damn movie and its soooo close I can taste it! yea i agree i am so looking forward to this film i hope it turns out well, if george does not screw up this could turn out to be the best film of the new trilogy. which is what i would like to see.
Skippy438 Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 so dude's force power is to make himself less ugly? Bonus.
zeo-mare Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 (edited) i had always wondered about Palpatines face, can he revert back and forth between the human face and the evil Darth Sidious face when he chooses? does anyone know? he must because they show him repeatedly through out the new trilogy as both human and sith form. Edited December 30, 2004 by zeo-mare
HWR MKII Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 the whole thing with palpatine is kind of like the old jeckyl and hyde thing. one doesnt know the oter exists until its too late.
Mechleader Posted December 30, 2004 Author Posted December 30, 2004 (edited) Damn you beat me to posting....well here is one more... Edited December 31, 2004 by Mechleader
bsu legato Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 One more. Looks like an unretouched promo pic.
Jolly Rogers Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Palpatine looks like crap in that pic. More like after he discovered the Force hidden in potato chips.
Max Jenius Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Palpatine looks like crap in that pic. More like after he discovered the Force hidden in potato chips. OMFG and look at the cheap lightsabre effects! CHILDHOOD RAPE ALERT!! So any pointy nosed, twin engined ship is an SR-71 now? Come on.. that's like the people that said the Hulk looked like Shrek. As for the previous designs being iconic... well sure... I'll give you that, though they're nothing really special I suppose if I wanted a hunk of metal to take me around the galaxy it would be a SW ship. The OT and the PT are supposed to look different, so it makes sense that they got a person that disliked the OT designs. Helps establish how different things were back in the day.
bsu legato Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 (edited) Considering that Slave 1 was inspired by the shape on an antique streetlight, I don't see the big deal. Desides, the Naboo liner was a mix of the B-2, a B-52 with a bit of oldschool radial engine rumble added into the sound mix. And as for arguments of art deco versus the old McQuarrie/Johnston industrial look, as we've already seen that design aesthetic has already reared its intentionally ugly head in AOTC and moreso in ROTS. Or to put it more bluntly... Prequel Trilogy Original Trilogy See the difference? Edited December 30, 2004 by bsu legato
Anubis Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 I do like Palpatine's compact lightsaber at least. That thing looks almost half- size the norm.
Jinnai Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 There's a spoiler frenzy going on right now.. and it's not even the 1st yet.
Jinnai Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Of course.. Jar Jar should be on the operating table.. ^_~
bsu legato Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 [Fanboy] Even though Yoda looks sad, like he just got some bad news....I'm sure Padme will leap onto her feet again seconds later! I'm sure of it! [/Fanboy]
Mr March Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Nice pictures! Sidious looks nasty! I can't wait for this film.
Duke Togo Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Where the hell are all of these pictures coming from? Are these all from Hyperspace?
bsu legato Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Where the hell are all of these pictures coming from? Are these all from Hyperspace? No, I assure you these pictures are quite illicit.

Graham Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Considering that Slave 1 was inspired by the shape on an antique streetlight I always thought that Slave 1 was inspired by an Elephants head. Graham
Sundown Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 (edited) The OT and the PT are supposed to look different, so it makes sense that they got a person that disliked the OT designs. Helps establish how different things were back in the day. Not sure I agree that this is the natural and obvious solution for getting something "different", especially when visual evolution and continuity needs to be implied-- ie, It doesn't make sense to pick someone with a different sense of aesthetics, just for the sake of "different". It's entirely possible to pick a concept artist who appreciates the original designs, and yet aims to design something different and unique-- while still maintaining a similar "feel", to give the impression that there's some sort of continuity and theme. Chiang succeeded on a few designs, and failed on some others-- the ones that failed all felt out of place, unoriginal (ironic considering the intent to get away from the old designs) and largely forgettable, at least IMO. And at least in my funny way of thinking, it doesn't make sense to pick someone that disliked the original designs to design things for a fanbase that liked them. And in the end, regardless of how we criticze or justify Chiangs' design decisions, what remains is the strength of the art direction and designs themselves... and I simply feel them to be much weaker, less cohesive, and less compelling than those in the OT. Considering that Slave 1 was inspired by the shape on an antique streetlight, I don't see the big deal. Taking inspiration from something else is part of the design process. But a design's weakness because apparent when it's easily recognizable as derivative of something else (another ship/craft no less, not just an obscure light fixture), while contributing little that's unique and iconic on its own. I'd put both Nabooian ships in the latter category, while I'd never for once looked at the Slave I and thought "Hey! Ripoff of a streetlight!" -Al Edited December 31, 2004 by Sundown
fernandofaria Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Considering that Slave 1 was inspired by the shape on an antique streetlight I always thought that Slave 1 was inspired by an Elephants head. Graham Does someone realized that the federation tank from episode 1 , is a copy of the slave 1? just compare the form and details ... my opinion , of course ....
Feyd-Rautha Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 i am quite pleased that the VARIABLE droid tie-fighter looking things will be returning after thier debut(extemely brief)in ep.1 wooohoooooo!!!!! too me ..this is george lucas tipping his hat too japanese variables..nice!
Radd Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 And as for arguments of art deco versus the old McQuarrie/Johnston industrial look, as we've already seen that design aesthetic has already reared its intentionally ugly head in AOTC and moreso in ROTS. Or to put it more bluntly...Prequel Trilogy Original Trilogy See the difference? I've been saying this very same thing about the design asthetic, minus the pictures, since Episode I. So many people always dismissed my car analogy, but there it is, in full colour!
Prime Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Palpatine looks like crap in that pic. He certainly needs to lay off the burgers. He's turned into one tubby bitch!
