Douglas Trumbull's Silent Running was released FIFTY years ago today!

To pay homage to Trumbull who recently passed away, it's never too late to watch again or to discover for the first time this excellent visionary scifi movie. ImageImageImage

[Not space] but I want to recommend Severance (AppleTV+, 2022).

If The Office is a workplace comedy, Severance is a workplace scifi survival horror lol

It's a mystery show with a really special atmosphere. If the names Stanley Parable, Aperture or Dharma ring a bell... ImageImageImage
Severance centers around Mark Scout (Adam Scott), a leader of a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. Image
This experiment in ‘work-life balance’ is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself. Image

Obi-Wan Kenobi (May 25, Disney+): This is not Nar Shaddaa (dammit, Kyle!), but a whole new planet, Daiyu.

It "sort of has a Hong Kong feel to it. It's got a graffiti-ridden nightlife, and is kind of edgy. It's just got a different lane and a different feeling."

Artist unknown. ImageImageImageImage
It seems that Sung Kang (from Fast and Furious fame) is playing the Fifth Brother, well known by comics reader and Rebels watchers.

If true (I still have doubts), his design comes from the Force Awakens, an artwork by @CAlzmann for a vilain. ImageImageImageImage
@CAlzmann Okay it's really the Fifth Brother.

Joyful guy.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (May 25, Disney+): The new Inquisitorius ship, unnamed for now.

Art by @BenjaminJLast ImageImageImageImage
@BenjaminJLast As I already said, it's a design that precedes another, the Delta-class T-3c shuttle introduced in Rogue One (2016).

"Obi-Wan" is set a decade earlier, and the Lucasfilm design team continues to create some very successful design families across time.

@BenjaminJLast @rchurchdesign I shouldn't have say "precede", as we don't know which one was the first in the lore lol

Star Trek: Resurgence (2022): The USS Resolute is a Centaur-class.

In 1997, a Centaur-type (USS Centaur) appeared in 3 episodes of Deep Space Nine. It was a kitbashed ship, made with parts of USS Excelsior and USS Reliant commercial kits.

There is the Centaur-class in STO. ImageImageImageImage
Here is a render of the USS Centaur by @RBonchune , who worked on Deep Space Nine. Image
@RBonchune Way more about the fascinating Centaur-type from the good people of @eas_trek :
