He's a visual effects artist, so basically a professional image creator... can you prove me that this awesome display of nerddom isn't photoshop?
Like... send it to me so I can have a closer look? Please?

I'm going to the London Comic-Con in a few months. I need a crack team of thieves as soon as possible!

You know, ironically his creation is probably better than the props actually used in the movies. Simply going by the movie props I've seen at places like The Smithsonian. Toy phasors and collector models being a lot better than the ones actually used in the original Star Trek series.

I could be wrong about that mind you, but the thought does cross my mind.

On top of that I remember reading about how when they did FX for the first Star Wars movie (even if this is the RotJ version) they scraped for some of the stuff, and apparently the surface of the death star was constructed using tons of pieces from battleship model kits and so on.

Most impressive...

Considering were in 2010 and the movies were made several, several years ago, that the art of prop making has improved should come as no surprise, I think.

This is the kind of thing that gets people chomping at the bit for remakes, but if episode 1-3 are any indication ... maybe its a good idea they're not going to do that

He can have something to do should this game bomb...

I can see the shock and horror now how this is...the WoW Killer...and I doubt that as its sold as an MMO but Ive hardly seen any MMO beyond PVP BGs...

Yeah a wookie is cool...if its some guy from NY who works as bouncer at a nightclub...not an NPC!

 

[Twad]

very nice. Its cool that his site shows how he built it.

Wait, the Joker felt compelled to autograph a Lightsaber prop twice because of how awesome it is?

That's both confusing and awesome.

Before he was the Joker, he was Luke Skywalker. It's not so confusing.

I will not be satisfied by this until all human wars are fought with lightsabers instead of guns (which includes the fucking laser guns, they are useless against lightsabers).

..However, it still is pretty fucking awesome, nonetheless.

They'll be awesome? I agree.

 

[BabyRaptor]

I want one of those, and I don't even like Star Wars.

 

[Caiti Voltaire]

They'll be awesome? I agree.

That is certainly one word for it.

Is our Escapists learning?

Actually, no, you should really point them out, ...

there's one.

OT: pretty awesomely made, someone who knows how to make games, can draw and knows how to work metal? I am impressed at effort that went into being creative.

Would you like five cents to purchase either a sense of humor or historical context? That is a paraphrase of a famous misnomer by George W. Bush. That's called, "a joke". It makes the whole point. Thinking that is an actual mistake and not on purpose proves, at the very least, you aren't very good at correcting people.
