"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

:yes: :yes: :yes:

Love it. But what's the ship looking like it's caught in the Superlaser? Wouldn't be the Dildo Cruiser, would it? ;)

Its called a Dreadnaught...used widely during the clone wars. Hopefully Episode III will show a few of these. Production of these were discontinued after the empire formed and started their ISDs :D

Very nice pic btw :)

If it's not an ISD, it's a Dreadnaught.

Oh, yeah - credits on the models to the SWMA of 5 years ago or so - these models have been on my HDD for ages. :p

I know what A dreadnaught is :p :D

Pic is still great. :D

Just a little nitpicking: the superlaser beams extend out too far before coming together. Otherwise: :yes:

There's still an active mirror of SWMA online. Hit up Goggle and you can find it. Course TheForce.net has most of what SWMA had and alot of it's more updated and higher quality.

Perhaps a wee bit, but it's hard to tell from the angle.

I think it looks cool save for the starfield, which is too dense, and the shadows, which aren't dark enough.

Starfield is aimed more at realism (I know, I know - the Death Star is in the pic, for pete's sake! :rolleyes: ), where in stmosphere-less space you can see a heck of a lot more than you can from the surface.

And you may not have any pitch black shadows, but then again, consider where they are: in between a sun and a glowing gas giant. ;)

I've uploaded the full 2000x1500 picture here. (628Kb)

Noticeable in the full version is an annoying texture seam on the Death Star. Too bad. :(

Whoa, my memory must be going. I remember the superlasers coming together much closer. Too bad my VCR totally trashed my RotJ tape and I lost ANH so I couldn't really double check.

Eh, well time to redeem my comment somehow...

Ummm... it's about 10 miles too far out... ya that's it... :nervous:

Go and buy the DVDs man!

ANyway, I think the lasers converge correctly. I don't know why you guys said they don't.

And I thought they did put it on DVD. My mistake. So far, I've only seen the VCD format versions of the trilogy.

I don't see how you can enhance an old film any better save re-acting the whole trilogy again. They already cleaned up the films right? Now its clearer but what else can you do?
