after reading master and apprentice I appreciated this relationship even more, though i already loved them. the sadness these two characters put on me is immense, at least at the end they found each other again

Starwoids (2001)

I’m going to be generous with Starwoids. It’s an independently made documentary about the most hardcore of Star Wars fans during a particularly important time in the series: the months preceding the 1999 release of Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Is it a great film? No. Is it interesting? Yes. It’s a nice little DVD you can place next to the saga to generate some conversation.

The first thing you need to know is that the DVD cover doesn’t lie… but it exaggerates hardcore "Star Wars" fan Kevin Smith’s involvement in this project. He never appears on-camera and narrates… the first 30-seconds of the film. That’s it. This doc is about the people who decided that they wanted to be first in line at the Mann’s Village and Chinese theaters. You won’t see any clips of the movie or celebrities, and even for a documentary, it's a low-budget production.

The most interesting aspect of Starwoids is the way it will make you feel. I found myself going back-and-forth on the people it documents. Waiting in line for 42 days to see anything is insane. Even with the numerous lackluster chapters in the franchise, I still like “Star Wars” a lot. I think just about everyone who likes movies should see the original trio at the very least. I get that being there in 1999 was an experience, that people had been waiting 16 years for the next chapter… but it’s not like the film was only playing the one time and would never get released on home video afterward. On the other hand, the film makes some good points about this level of fandom. So what if you spend 6 weeks waiting in line? Who's it hurting? In fact, a group of people waiting in line raised thousands of dollars for a charity. They had a blast. It’s an experience they’ll never forget and forever treasure. Who is anyone to judge their behavior when they’re freely admitting no one else should go to the lengths they did?

It's a disappointment that Starwoids doesn’t really convey how big the film was during its initial release. I know people were excited. You don’t pay the admission price to see a movie just because a trailer to "The Phantom Menace" is playing before it, and then leave before the main event even starts... but what about the rest of the world? I could have done without the fruitless voyage to Skywalker Ranch and would've appreciated some box office receipts, shots of the merchandise associated with the picture, or images of the characters dominating everything from fast-food restaurants to children’s clothing stores. You get somewhat of an idea of who the people involved are, what they had to deal with when it came to their collections of action figures, but you'll want more.

I'll give Starwoids a mild recommendation. It’s a curiosity and I’m certain that it won’t be director Dennis Przywara’s best work, but I’m glad I saw it. If you were alive when The Phantom Menace was released, you'll be able to fill in some of this doc’s gaps, allowing you to have a nice internal conversation about whether this level of excitement is futile or a once-in-a-lifetime treasure. (On DVD, April 4, 2016)

Happy May 4th. Here’s an obscure character from the background of EP 1: The Phantom Menace, Rum Sleg. I’m a sucker for the 2 second characters. #maythe4thbewithyou #starwars #thephantommenace . . . . . #art #artist #illustration #comics #comicart #manga #anime #comicbooks #sketch #draw #illustrator #ink #lineart #dailydoodle #artwork #mangaka #アメコミ#stevenbowman #stevenbeezer #astoundingtales https://www.instagram.com/p/CdJ833mszuu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Needing a unique terrain unlike anything that could be found here on planet earth that a vehicle could blast through at 600 miles per hour, ILM needed to fashion a way to create this incredible location. That would appear onscreen as the podrace track from The Phantom Menace, and Lucasfilm look back a quarter of a century to how the ILM wizards off the time figured out this high velocity conundrum via a technique with over half a decade of history - texture mapping. ILM artist Paul Huston had joined ILM on its first project, Star Wars: A New Hope (1977). Over two decades into his tenure, he was still making contributions to the galaxy far, far away. Before The Phantom Menace, the Star Wars Special Edition theatrical releases in 1997 had been an important test ground for digital effects methods. For one new shot in A New Hope, Huston experimented with creating a view of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s home on Tatooine by digitizing a practical miniature and then projecting real-world photographs onto its surface. As the camera pushed in on the building, this texture-mapping method would help create a more believable sense of dimension. That, at least, was the intent. George Lucas, however, decided the technique didn’t fit the aesthetic of the original Star Wars film. Huston would revisit the concept for the podrace. One memorable section of the desert course featured dozens of rock arches through which the pods flew. “[Visual effects supervisor] John Knoll became interested in my approach,” Huston told Cinefex. “I did some additional tests featuring a variety of different views – one started with a flying-forward motion, with the camera looking backward and then panning forward to look at the terrain that was approaching.” John Knoll would recall how “Paul did some tests early on where he built some rocks out of foam and plaster, took them out in the parking lot to photograph, and then used a 3D stylus tool to record its surface points and replicate a 3D model in the computer. We’d then match the photography onto the rocks and build up a terrain. The first test I saw as running footage was shocking. It was clearly the way to do it.” f [amazon box="0593723430"]

Dan and I spent a quick weekend in Pittsburgh to visit friends. It's been a couple years since we've been in the city, but the food was good, the weather was nice, and the company was great.
