It's just a matte painting, relax.
No it isn't. Learn what matte paintings are.
It's optical compositing.
Oh okay. Thanks, nerd.
the blue background is a matter painting
>t. moron
Remember when it was called "blue screen" instead of "green screen"? I member.
They switched from blue to green when they started using electronic cameras. Film is more sensitive to blue light but electronic cameras are more sensitive to green light so you get a better key off a green background.
Thank you for explaining this. I always wondered why it changed and most people I talk to just say I'm crazy and it was always green screen, but this makes a lot of sense.
in premier pro, you can set Ultra Key to any color you want.
Anyone remember YELLOW screen?
Unironically both red and black backdrops used to be used for chroma key sometimes, especially for miniature photography. You can't really use red for keying people cause there's too much red in skin tones.
It is a matte painting in an object composition.
Wow, that totally makes up for your virginity. I bet you'd be cool to hang out with now.
that's just a swirly thing in space, not a galaxy
A. Because the people who made Empire are kinda dumb
B. It got retconned as a protostar or some shit, something less ludicrously out of scale
They're outside the galaxy, disney's protostar bullshit is not canon you moron.
>disney's protostar bullshit is not canon you moron.
Yep. I don't count any of Disney's moronation as canon.
It's the fricking outskirts of the galaxy. It's not hard to figure out. I figured it out when I was a fricking kid.
>Yep. I don't count any of Disney's moronation as canon.
Based.
>I figured it out when I was a fricking kid.
Yeah, I also figured out as a kid that it's the galaxy itself.
it being a galaxy is in the shooting script so it doesn't get more canon
the question is why the rebels kept hiding out on planets when they could have just flown out if the galaxy and parked somewhere to never be found
They would run out of supplies eventually and being cooped up in space ships for too long would drive anyone crazy. In my mind, hyperspace travel only works within the galaxy so while they can travel from one end of the galaxy to thee other relatively quickly they wouldn't be able to travel to another galaxy within their own lifetimes since they'd have to do it at normal speeds once they get too far out of the galaxy to use hyperspace travel.
>In my mind, hyperspace travel only works within the galaxy
What do you base this idea on?
Probably headcanon.
what is the headcanon based on, tho.
The movies never explain how hyperspace travel works, so it's just my headcanon because it best explains why they wouldn't just build a colony ship and head off to another galaxy in secret. If you just want a technical explanation I imagine the density of stellar energy in the galaxy is what enables the existence of and access to the hyperspace dimension for unexplainable quantum reasons, while out in the dark space between galaxies that dimension either doesn't exist or isn't accessible for the opposite reasons.
I like that, like they travel in the space between book pages, and the mass of the galaxy is pulling the pages ever so slightly apart. In open space the pages are so firmly together as to be solid "wood."
Space whales, bro. That's how hyperspace works.
Just hyperspace back to a planet to get supplies and return to the ship. It makes no sense for the rebels to spend most of their time on planets.
Because they need resources. Fuel, food. Parts. Going outside the galaxy can only be a temporary measure, they have to come back in or starve.
That's entire beside the point. They chose to fight, not to run.
Sounds off-scale. You guys are just making excuses.
Did you never see any pictures of galaxies anywhere as a kid? Back in 1980 Carl Sagan was still on TV and showed shit like this every week.
Star Wars has never had a consistent sense of scale. Yeah it's bullshit, but Star Wars is bullshit. They're at the edge of the galaxy.
there are more then one galaxys
It's a galaxy far far away
because star wars writers don't study actual space
You can see our galaxy even though we're in it.
only in few places in the world like australia, I've never seen the night sky like that anywhere else in the world. I grew up in queensland and it was crazy, you could actually see stars with different colors.
>I grew up in queensland
How are the beaches there, bro? I'm thinking of taking a trip next summer and maybe visit there
Actually most places in the world that aren't urban centers or Europe. Back when we used torchlight even ancient Romans could see the Milky Way overhead in their cities on a moonless night.
I really think humanity has lost something dear to us with all the light pollution.
>I've never seen the night sky like that anywhere else in the world
I take it you've never traveled anywhere in the world that isn't a big city, then. I'm in the US and can see this if I just drive a couple hours into the country.
>only in few places in the world like australia
what a fricking mong you are. you can see the milky way anywhere where light pollution isnt horrible. i saw the milky way late at night in yosemite valley
One time Los Angeles had a city-wide power outage that turned off all the lights and it caused 911 lines to fill up with people calling because seeing the milky way confused and frightened them.
Wasn't that NYC?
Citygays are moronic, though.
you can see it from anywhere that isn't red or orange on this map. that's most of the world - only much of the worlds population lives in the orange and red areas.
A world without Canada, North Korea or most of Africa...
Why is there so much light pollution around the Netherlands?
they put lights on their bicycles
The Netherlands are very densely populated. So are the bordering areas of Belgium and Germany. It's one giant urban area.
do people in europe not go outside? where the hell do they go to hike and stuff?
Where do people on the US eastern seaboard or central Japan go to hike and stuff? Just because the night sky is light polluted doesn't mean nature isn't nearby. You can go to parks in the middle of those bright red spots and be in pristine nature - it's just that you'll see very few stars in the night sky.
Take Hamburg, Germany for example. You're in the middle of a city of 2.5 million people, but pretty much anywhere you are - you can walk for 10 minutes and be in a densely wooded area with no one around except birds, hedgehogs and squirrels. If you go to the top of a tall building the city looks like a forest with some tall buildings scattered throughout.
If you want to get truly away - real hick country is rarely more than an hour drive away. Just because there is a large swathe or red/yellow on that map doesn't mean it's all urban - that's just the light pollution due to the night sky being reflective and shit. This map is closer to showing how large unbroken swathes of concrete and asphalt actually are.
>TFW east coast US
https://darksitefinder.com/maps/
there are more dark spots than you think
if you have never seen an unpolluted night sky you need to take some time to do it. its insane that they took it from us. makes me want to weep when I see it.
>physicists be like, HURRRR THERES NOT ENOUGH MATTER OUT THERE, I CANT SEE IT
>MUST BE SOME KIND OF....... DARK MATTER!!!!! *fudges calculations*
Dark matter is shark matter. Just ask Merk.
>You did it, Luke. You have destroyed the Empire.
>WE did it, chief. Now if you excuse me, I've got some vacations to take
>Not so fast, my boy. I'm afraid you'll have to postpone them. There's a little galaxy here that's causing some trouble... Here's the map
>What is... The Milky Way?
*End credits*
That's no galaxy... That's a chocolate bar!
Its not real. Its a children's movie
i think its just a quasar
It's the galaxy the Vong come from, talk about foreshadowing
>most people I talk to just say I'm crazy and it was always green screen
are most of the people you talk to arrogant teenagers?
How come Luke and Leia didn’t talk about how Obi Wan was a good friend?
Different galaxy. Rishi Maze was a dwarf galaxy pressing in on the edge of their galaxy.
They're on the outer rim, duh
Why was there a devil in Star Wars?
Because the galaxy far away is actually hell
Always found it pretty apparent they were supposed to be on the outskirts of the galaxy. The scale seems funky but you don't need to think about it that hard. Obvious what they're attempting to illustrate.
>How can they see the galaxy if they are in it?
they are ;looking at the galaxy that ashoka went to on the space whales..
Hyperspace. It sidesteps the physical universe, allowing them to look back at their previous location from the outside.
>How can they see the galaxy if they are in it?
you know there's other galaxies that you can see from ours right?
Because they're outside of it
That map is stupid. As you get closer to the glaactic core, the closer together stars get to each other to where they're alwayss mashing into each other, and getting caught in each other's orbit until one absorbs the other. That's also where you find all the supermassive stars that turn into pulsars, quasars, and black holes. The core and the area around the core are the two areas where you won't find the possibility of an inhabitable world.
Then again these are the same people who argue a battle station the size of a moon or small planet can absorb all the energy of a star without disrupting that star's delicate balance, which would really cause it to blow it up, then spew it across the galaxy to destroy multiple planets at once at faster-than-light speeds.
Good lord you're one stinky nerd.
Do you think the maps are to scale?
The deep core on that map correctly lacks any habitable worlds, the "core" is actually "the area around the core." Our own galaxies death zone in the core is also only about 10-20% of the radius of the whole thing, just like on the map.
>Then again
Wait, hold on. You mean Star Wars isn't hard sci-fi but set dressed fantasy? Big if true.
Isn't that another galaxy called the Rishi Maze?
Jesus frick you moron, they're clearly outside of galactic ring. Tell your step dad to stop hitting you, or you will get even dumber, fricktard.
they experience a time dilation due to the faster than light travel of the warp drive and what you are seeing is not the actual scale of galaxy because due to time dilation you are only seeing it at the beginning of the big bang and not seeing it in real time
Faster-than-light travel = time-traveling into the future. The only two movies that got that part right were Interstellar and the Lost in Space remake in the 90s.
How do they travel across a galaxy with light speed when galaxies are 100,000+ lightyears across? It would take 1000s of years to get to any planet.
Space is so fricking fake
How can you believe this garbage?
We're talking about a fictional universe.
A fictional universe created not long after the "moon landing" to reinforce the idea any of it was real in the minds of youth.
oh yes, the same time they put balloons in the sky to simulate the sattelites we were 'pretending' to put in orbit.
you flatties never give up do you
durr
space is the absence of anything, how can that pretend to be something else?
>some 15 year loser who's never kissed a girl and has trouble making eye contact with the 7-11 clerk has space "all figured out"
tell me more anon
