Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022): Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter

Presented in December 2019, this design is the result of a collaboration between Lucasfilm and Porsche. Doug Chiang, @artbyabc and @rchurchdesign , on the Lucasfilm side, participated in its creation.

@artbyabc @rchurchdesign So it's the rare case where I have the concept art years before the broadcast lol

You want to see inside the cockpit? Here we are.
@artbyabc @rchurchdesign With every new episode of anything Star Wars, I waited to see if this ship would finally be introduced.

Suffice to say that I was
@artbyabc @rchurchdesign As we saw that the N-1 was already available during the later stages of The High Republic (cf Eclipse), I suppose it's a ship from this era too. Before the Dark Times.

Sleek, in good condition, like a galaxy that has not yet been eaten away by corruption and then fascism.
@artbyabc @rchurchdesign It would be a bit like the ancestor of the U-wing. Both are produced by Incom, in-universe.

The luxury starfighter becomes a low-cost dropship a few decades later.

I'm totally making it up but I like the idea lol
@artbyabc @rchurchdesign Please buy "The Complete Incom Story", the 1587-page novel I'm releasing in 2027.
@artbyabc @rchurchdesign Let's do it @DelReyStarWars

We already have 2 customers. TWO!
In the meantime, what I've really been doing for the past year is a book about ships... but fundamentally different:
1/ Not in-universe
2/ Not only Star Wars.

[Thread] The team behind The Expanse have created a new media company and have already signed on to develop a sci-fi series!...which is not a sequel to The Expanse. 😁

But don't cry, it's an adaptation of The Captive's War, the new trilogy from the authors of The Expanse! 🥳 1/8 Image
Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, aka @JamesSACorey , The Expanse showrunner Naren Shankar, and The Expanse director @Breck_Eisner have come together on this very promising project, which I'm likely to be talking about a lot hehe

After all, why change a winning team? 2/8
And so their first project is a TV adaptation of the new book series The Captive's War, for Amazon MGM Studios.

The first novel, The Mercy of Gods, was published in August. A first novella set in the same universe, Livesuit, was released in October. 3/8 Image

What would Battlestar Galactica (2003) look like if it were launched today?

Showrunner @RonDMoore : “I would still try to approach it with the same attitude that I had when I approached the original, which was I wanted to preserve the framework of what the original was." 1/4 Image
"I want it to be recognizable as Battlestar Galactica. It’s still a warship and an aircraft carrier in space, guiding a ragtag civilian fleet running from the Cylons after an apocalyptic attack. It’s about their society. What are the pieces of their civilization they..." 2/4 Image
"...chose to carry with them? What’s important to them? What does it mean to be a democracy? Then I would have to get down into the weeds and then it would be different because it would have to be informed by the last 20 years of what we have gone through." 3/4 Image

It's not for nothing that I treasure my archives on several hard drives. At least I know what I've collected is true.

It's all about avoiding inadvertently sharing art by Ralph McQuarrIA.
But the future of the Internet promises to be a gigantic lie rather than the finest library in the galaxy, and it's sadly a tragedy worthy of a great sci-fi novel.
Cherish your old (art)books. Protect your bookshelves.

[Thread] So I've been playing #StarWarsOutlaws since last Wednesday. I managed to play it for 15 hours (despite a wedding this weekend 😅).

I quickly realized that this game is MUCH more massive than I thought, and I'm still far from measuring the scope of this game.

I'll give you my first impressions in this thread.
First you have to know where I come from. I loved open worlds in the 2000s, but after the incredible Black Flag I lost the desire to devote dozens of hours to a single game. Since then, I've only played Mad Max and Red Dead Redemption 2 this winter.

Suffice to say, I started Outlaws from a very high starting point!
Unsurprisingly, Outlaws is no RDR2 masterpiece. I wasn't asking for so much. I was asking for fun. I was asking for Star Wars.

Given that, after 15 hours (which is already my ideal length for a game lol), I'm dying to get back to Kay & Nix for a heist, that's a pretty good sign.😌

[Thread] You've seen or are about to see Alien Romulus, and you want to take this opportunity to revisit the history of sci-fi. 👋

Here are some of the films that inspired the writers of the 1979 film... #AlienMonth

You should start with Dark Star (1974).

In this film co-written by Alien (1979) co-writer Dan O'Bannon (where he also appears↙️), one of the story beats should ring a bell.

Alien would never have existed without Dark Star.

2/18

Beyond Alien, Dark Star is a milestone in the history of science fiction, as it launched Carpenter's career, which is no mean feat! The film was not a success, but Carpenter went on to make Assault on Precinct 13 (1976). The rest is history.🤗

With two weeks to go before the release of Alien Romulus, I'm starting my Alien rewatch.

And for the first time, I'm starting in the chronological order of this universe.

Welcome to 2093, on LV-223. Image
Iceland, I love you.

Love this shot.

(Ha yes, I don't know if I'll make the live tweet last, but the idea is to highlight stuff I like. I'm not in the habit of wasting my time on stuff I don't like 😌) Image
