Star Wars Blueprints

With the entire Star Wars saga coming to Blu-ray on September 14, the common question is - what's new?

Well, that, and, 'will Jar Jar be digitally removed?'

One of the more interesting things to emerge (especially for fans who really want to get into the nitty gritty, Bothan spies, and OCD nerdlords) from the Star Wars Blu-ray wave is this upcoming book of blueprints that has a large format look at the iconic designs that went into creating the world's most famous film franchise.

Over 200 technical drawings are paired with over 500 photographs in this limited edition, 5000 print run.



Want to check out the blueprints for the Millennium Falcon? Sure. Oh wow - it really IS a hunk of junk.


“The unsung heroes of the art departments are the draftsmen, who drew in collaboration with their art department heads, but who also added their own ideas,” said author J. W. Rinzler, who selected each image that went into the book. “Their blueprints have an attribute that concept art lacks—a sense of the real. It’s been an amazing adventure to bring these blueprints to light after all these years.”



You can almost smell the Huttness.


Here's the rather cheesily-voiced ad:

I think Vulcan Eddie's confusing a couple of things into one, as well - Russell T Davies has stated that he considers the Time Lords started the Time War when they sent the Fourth Doctor, Sarah and Harry to Skaro to prevent the creation of the Daleks (only being partially successful, setting them back by a milleniun or so, and completely altering their future timeline - a discussion for another day, that one!) in "Genesis of the Daleks".

Later, in "Resurrection of the Daleks", the Daleks have captured the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Turlough with the intent of duplicating them and sending the duplicates to Gallifrey to assassinate the Time Lord High Council - which could be seen as their response (the only Dalek story between "Genesis" and "Resurrection" was "Destiny of the Daleks", where the Daleks resurrected their long-dead creator Davros, but that was for a tactical advantage in a logic-deadlocked war with the Movellans).
