    I'd tyhink it's another nice little homage to B5.

    There are a bunch of little references to other Scifi shows and films in Episode 1.

    If it's not intentional, then it's not an homage.

  • episode 2 is really much better than episode 1,....near 2hours and half (long film).

    i saw it yesterday.

    great land battles, really awesome effects.

    one of the main problems in this trilogy (episode 1,2 and 3), is the political area, bigger than in most films i ever saw,....the "create the problem and gave the solution" (a fake one of course) is really few times show in films....one film with this political incorrect things and...quite complicated...is not well seen by public.

    ****************

    and **********....amazing!!!!.

    b5 needs a movie ......a good one movie....to boost everything....

    *Spoilers removed by Drazi Guy. Carefull, Asturcon. Not everyone has seen it yet.

    Perhaps a movie about the Drakh Wars? Or teh Shadow Wars 1000 years ago. No THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!

    BTW watch out for an animation of B4 by me sometime soonish. I just about got the still timeshifty thingy done. It took a whole day to fiddle B4 to spec for that. eek!

    You mean the Frazi-like ship in Episode II, or the E.T.'s in Episode I?

    I noticed the Frazi-like ship in a Quicktime Ep II trailer.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Man, I can't find that page with the scifi references and homages in E1.
    Bummer!
  • AnlaShokAnlaShok Democrat From Hell
    It is similar in design, but not quite the same. It is a lot smaller, for one thing. The angle accentuates the similarities a lot.

    A very good movie in my opinion. I particularly enjoyed the part where.........eaten by............... and jumps on ................turkey baster ......................womp rats ........................lightly grilled weasel ......................And your little dog too!


    Hmm. Seems to be some interference from the anti spoiler jamming. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

    there was some ET's in front of the bar too, in ep2.

    that speeder doesn't look like a frazi unless seen at an angle like it is in this shot, unless it isn't the one Obi and Ani were chasing.

    It was.

    I won't say anymore so it won't spoil the movie for other ppl.

    I thought it did looked like a Frazi in the movie - quite cool looking too [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Certainly looks like it "borrowed" a lot from the Frazi. Just like those Federation starships "borrowed" their entire design from Battletech's dropships!

    Those Federation starships look a lot like the center parts of the battleships in ep 1.

    BattleTech did not come up with that ship design first. It's actually quite old.

    No, but it's been one of the most popular sci-fi events of recent years - the last [i]20[/i] years - to promote such a design.

    I'm pretty sure those were the very same droid control ships. Instead of there being hangar rings around them, they was detached and used to control the large number of droids on the surface. Considering the sheer number in use, I could see it as being the best option (in case there was jamming or something like it)

    They were, in the shot where Dooku is escaping in his solar sail thingly you can clearly see the Frederation spheres docking with their rings.

    Did anyone else think that, without the sails, Dooku's ship looked like the one belonging to the bad guy in Shadows of the Empire?

    And I thought the two in one Federation ships were really neat. It would've been horrible, though, if they got Johnathen Frakes to report that the ships were rejoining with their saucer sections.
