#StarWarsDay is also the opportunity to salute and thank all those who have worked on Star Wars, at all levels, on all media, in the past as well as the present.

As we don't have a group photo of everyone (like 15.000 people lol), the famous Lucas photo will represent them. Image
Star Wars is an IP, it's a business, but it's also people who want to help tell stories.

People have written Mortis, while others are diving into politics with Andor. Some people are imagining the past of the universe, others are developing the acrobatics of Cal Kestis.
People are drawing a cartoon for young children while others are animating the Star Tours update. Artists are drawing the ships for a story we'll see in 3 years, while the folks at SW.com interview the creators of the next series.

Then Phil will write artbooks.
Folks at ILM:

When you think about it, there have been some fantastic scenes in the last few series. The Fondor Haulcraft, the aerial battles of din Djarin's N-1, the finale of Mando S3.

ILM treats us, with a constant quality.
I don't have time to read all the books, but what they did with the High Republic is impressive. Created a new, adjacent SW universe, which will host TV series and video games. Developed a coherent thing that starts with literary media.

Expansion done right. Slowly.
And there are hundreds of people working in a dozen studios to help us experience Star Wars.

We'll soon have as many video games as TV shows.

Good luck people! :D
Please don't crunch for us.
I was unexpectedly lucky enough to be touched by one story (Andor), but it's always great to see all the work behind all the stories (even the ones I like less).

Thank you. πŸ––

The Fifth Element was released 26 years ago today.

This adventure in 2263 was voted best space fiction film of 1997 (facing Starship Troopers, Contact, Event Horizon, Alien 4, Gattaca, MiB...) by my followers last month. ImageImageImage
Luc Besson began to imagine this story in the 1970s. It should be noted that this film had a first life in 1991-1992, when Jean Giraud, Jean-Claude Mézières, Jean-Paul Gaultier (we love Jeans in France) and more started to draw this universe.

Look at the dates: ImageImageImage
The project was stopped in 1992 because the budget was too ambitious. It was only after the success of Leon: The Professional (1994), a reduction in the budget and the unexpected arrival of Bruce Willis that the film was made. Image

[Upcoming movie] Voyagers, directed by @Slelio (The Wonder)

"The film is set in 1977 as NASA prepared to launch humanity’s first interstellar probes and a team led by Carl Sagan set out to create a message to accompany them β€” The Golden Record." Image
@Slelio "But what starts out as a race-against-the-clock mission becomes an epic, unexpected love story between Sagan and his collaborator Ann Druyan."

Druyan was Creative Director of NASA's Voyager Interstellar Message Project. Image
@Slelio She also co-wrote cosmos (1980), Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (2014) and Cosmos: Possible Worlds (2020). Image

I played the new, short (15 minutes) demo of The Invincible (2023), adapted from a 1964 novel by Stanislaw Lem.

The sci-fi atmosphere of the 50s and 60s is well done, and I'm curious to discover the full adventure of the survivors of the scientific research ship Dragonfly. ImageImageImageImage
Don't pay attention to the quality of the screenshots, this is only a demo, but my old PC was in low settings.

Despite that, I experienced a big blur for a minute. Almost a scary game :)

But it's just a demo. Image
I wait for The Invincible (2023) by @StarwardInd & @11bitstudios for years, and I'm glad I'll play it in 2023.

I just need to change my PC (after Jedi Survivor, my gaming experience is really becoming frustrating lol)

Ship! Image

Star Trek Discovery (2017-2024)

The fifth season of Discovery will be the last!

Unsurprisingly at a time when the series last fewer and fewer seasons. As Trek runs with 5 series, it was probably time to make room for a new story. A spin-off in the far future, or something else.
"Principal photography has just wrapped, but there will be come additional filming on the season, a source tells Deadline."

It must be bittersweet for the crew. It's already the end for them.

Many of us thought about it from the trailer.

But after seeing the episode, it's a different ship (especially the prow). Perhaps inspired by the R-41 Starchaser. We will know soon. #TheMandalorian

Not the first time I thought I saw this ship in a recent series.

I love SW games so I love their ships. This one was introduced in Defender of the Empire, then appeared in XvT, Mysteries of the Sith, X-Wing Alliance, and even The force Unleashed 2.

Now, we already know the Mando crew really love these games, so...

[New game] Star Survivor (Steam) by SpaceOwl Games

It's a "rogue-lite survival asteroids game".

"The last ship against the endless. Exterminate as many as you can, and gather points to upgrade your ship from a crafted deck of equipment and power-ups."
You know the kind of game.
"Carefully control your ship with Newtonian physics past the swarm of thousands of enemies. Each kill will gain you resources to upgrade your vessel, unlock new ships, or stack the odds in your favor."
