Let's get a blaster thread going. No, not a "blaster control" RP thread, but a serious discussion about if these were real weapon designs. Let's start off with the DL-44. Where would the magazine/gas container go? And while the right-set scope makes for a better draw, it also makes using the damn scope impractical. I always just assumed it had some lock-to-side function kind of like a high tech magnifier that locked to either the top or left when unholstered.
Greedo shot first.

GREEDO DINDU NUFFIN WRONG HE WUZ A GOOD RODIAN

Only if it's logical explanations of the vehicles/weapons/armor etc.
>Space SCAR
I hate when drawers draw cool shit like this and don't actually give them Deeces or something.
I really dig the original concepts of the starfighters

>>27796159
That looks very close to the final form, but I do agree that the OG McQuarrie shit has a tack of it's own. I particularly like the Snowspeeder concepts.
>>27796174
this?
>>27795845
The Dorling Kindersley exploded-diagram books are great for this sort of thing OP. It might be rubbish, but it's convincing rubbish.
>>27796202
too bad old republic is shit, they have some really neat starship designs
>>27796248
>>27796202
Yep.
>>27796225
Will look into, man that looks amazing.
>>27795845
>we will never play shoot scum with this blaster in Star Wars 1313
>>27796366
i thought 1313 was rebooted after it was cancelled
>>27796409
let us pray
Why are the prequels so shit, bros?

search "Star Wars cross sections" and you'll turn up a bunch. DK do cross-section books for all sorts of topics from medieval castles to cruise liners, but their Star Wars stuff is great too, really creates a sense of a living world and not just props. Some of the best kids' stuff there was, really fired the imagination.

Jar Jar Binns, that's why.
Though some of the battle scenes were pretty good in my opinion. Plus the whole Order 66 part.
>>27796619
*Binks
Autocorrect, what the fuck?
>>27796619
in my opinion, it needed more space battles

I adore the book these cross-section pictures are from. They are so god damn awesome. I just love them.
The "Essential Guide" series is another great book series that does something similar only it doesn't just look at ships and tech.
>>27796652
This. The Battle of Coruscant had so much potential but the real battle scene was only a minute.
>>27796737
that really bothered me a lot anon
Anyone else kind of wondering why there's suddenly constant star wars threads on /k/
>>27796511
Jar Jar Binks, crappy dialogue, over reliance on CGI, and some other bullshit I can think of right now.
>>27796766
>wondering
Nah not really. It should be common knowledge that paid shills of all varieties frequent every board. Hell some of them even
>do it for free
>>27796766
It's called Star WARS for a reason.
Lots of big battles in space.
Also a lot of the props used in the original trilogy are WWI era and WWII era weapons mocked up to look more like they belong in a Sci-fi setting.
Plus, Star Wars is just generally awesome.
>>27796798
why would decks manned entirely by droids even have air to blow them out when the hull is breached?
>>27795845
If you cant find a way to make a blaster you could always use this instead
>>27796755
God damn I loved this show
>>27795845
fuck blasters....
Where's my tie fighter?
>>27797248
What if organics came on board? Ever thought that the ship might also be used by non-droids?
>>27796766
Same reason why there is spooky threads and tank threads.
>>27795845
A lot of those side mounted scopes had an off set reticle to compensate for their location.
>>27796766
battlefront is out 17th
Would there be any sense in having a magazine filled with small one use power cells in a blaster, as opposed to one large power cell?
If your single power cell dies you have no weapon, if one of your multitude dies no big deal. Maybe a tiny amount of power from each cell can be used to drive a tiny motor to cycle the next...
>>27799800
No.
Since everyone carries spare power cells anyway.
>unless you want a star wars version of this
>>27796511
Nobody was there to restrain George and get rid of his bad ideas.
Wish there were more "operator" moments in SWTOR
>>27795855
Dont paint over history. Han shot first.
>>27800060
Earlier drafts say Greedo shot first
You can't deny that
But I still stand, Han should have shot first, Greedo shooting and missing at point blank doesn't make sense in the star wars
