Recently, since the excitement on select pics, instead of a new topic popping up when a new pic is up, all you guys need to do is make your discussions here. Meanwhile, it will not clutter the board and it will be more organized. So post all your opinions/likes/dislikes on the select pics here and now.

Regards,

UBH

You have way to much time on your hands!

Actually I'd already written that in a word document and just pasted it onto here. Took less than 3 minutes.

UBH,I couldn't agree with you more.That's why I suggested a forum on select pics only.It may sound dull but I could make it VERY interesting.

DD, I thought I'd seen that post before.

EJ, I agree, I did the same on my little forum and even with it's small readership I have many select specific posts.

Of course, if we had a select forum here then that would be even better.

Just my $0.02

Ratcat, sorry I don't post on your site anymore. It's just that I saw this forum and got so addicted that I decided to stick with this. I don't really like using 2 forums at a time coz you never remember what you've already mentioned and you have to keep saying the same things for each forum. Too confusing for me. You do forgive me, right?

I really don't think we need a whole new forum for Select Pics..we're not that big of a board and the select pics are EP 2 material..


I think it's so funny how people look at these pics...I alway look at them artistically first...the "boring" ones are my favorite

So you actually liked the one with George Lucas leaning over the railing?

I didn't. The best one is still Padme sitting with cuts on her back.

I agree with Dim. Sorry RC and EJ, but that just complicates things over such a discrete horizon, that it just as well be covered in Ep. II discussion. Sorry, but that's my $2.21

Hmmmm, this is a rather odd one. It looks like a boy looking up in some rain. Perhaps it is Daniel Logan, who is rumoured to play Boba Fett and he is watching his father Jango fight Obi-Wan during the possible rain fight.

I don't WANT to think that, but it is probable. My best guess at that would be a kid just looking out of the restaurant with the Corvette in it!

DD, like I have said many times before, this is the forum to be in. Mine is just for fun, what we have here is a seriously great bunch of people discussing Star Wars so don't feel bad. Thing is, I never post in my forum either

UBH, on reflection I can see you're right I guess, and why are your thoughts so much more expensive than mine?

As for the picture. Here's mu interpretation.

Boba Fett, played by Daniel Logan, sit's at the controls of his fathers ship, Slave 1 or a ship on the same line as Slave 1, as his father, Jango Fett, hunts for Obi Wan Kenobi in the rain.

From the look on the childs face I would suggest that he is not watching them fight as he looks to mouch like he's just staring into space.

Is it just me or does anyone else just see a kid in the shower?

Seriously I think it is Boba Fett but the actor looks like he has put on weight for the part.

I've heard that the picture is of young Boba Fett{Daniel Logan} looking out of Slave I's @#%$pit.Now that it is semi-official I would like to ask you this.Are you happy with the "look" of the young Boba Fett?

He's just a kid, similar questions were asked regarding the look of Jake Lloydd for Anakin.

Besides you can generally judge a kid of that age (12-15 I'm guessing) on what they will grow up to be.

Trust me, my child hood pics would never have laid any clues to how I grew up, what I do and have done in the past and how I look.

I would use the same principle here, we just have the luxury of already knowing how he will turn out, we just don't know why.

He does have a similar look to Morrison too.

That's funny that you say that you know becasue I was lookig at the pictures of him from his new TV Movie, Ihaka and he looks quite different from the pict at SW.Com, just my opinion of course.

I've noticed that aswell.Could this be another?

Hate to disagree, EJ, but personally I don't think they look alike. Morrison looks darker-skinned, part Arabian maybe. Or just very tanned. But Logan's skin is much lighter and his hair lighter. I still think the pic has some sort of a connection with the rain battle between Jango and Obi-Wan.

I am refering to the boy in the selct pic Daft.Don't you think they look alike?

Well I sort of meant him too, as he thought he was Logan. I'll have to go back to the official site and have a better look at it.

EJ, I was refering earlier to Morrison. While I can see that it is the same person, he just seems slimmer and more defined in recent pictures sompared to some older ones.

Having Boba Fett as a kid is a good idea because it means that none of the mystery will be taken away from him.

<aybe, but I think we may well learn a lot about his origins and why he becomes the man he does.

And that's why Lucas made him the way he is.

I don't think that just because he is a kid it won't take away the mystery about him. He was mysterious because he seemed very roguish, like someone who has no friends and goes through life how they choose. He seems like someone who lives alone, making a living out of Bounty Hunting and has no family and no counter-operatives or friends.
But according to theForce.net Temuera Morrison has confirmed his part as the father of Boba Fett and there also rumours about his mother being involved and a clone captain related to him. With his family involved I think it removes his rogue appearence and darkness.

I bet Fett was singing "Singin' in the Rain" for the crew in pic 10.

OK, it's 1:28 in the moring UK times and I'm still ,waiting for the new Select Pic. I AM NOT HAPPY. Why did I get it into my head that I would wait up tonight.

What is that thing? Is it the hands of Sith Witch? Those markings looked kinda familiar....

Hmmmm, doesn't seem like much to me. Certainly an alien of some sort, maybe a Neimoidian or something.

Nah, Neimoidians have big chunky fingers. The costume is rather ornate for a background character.

Huh?...the background figures seem to get almost as much attention to makeupwise as the main characters...It's probably either Jamillia or a Senator...that's my opinion..

Yeah, I figured Jamilla 2, but why would her skin be green? Seems a little odd, but then again I suppose why not. This is a different planet after all.

Just me letting my earthly values get in the way of clear thinking.

I bet its just some extra again. I don't think the select pics will start having main characters in them (apart from MAIN main such as Anakin, Padme, Obi-wan, etc) until quite some time.

I tend to disagree, purely because that costume seems very detailed for a back ground character. I can see where you are coming from though and would have agreed if it wasn't for the details in the pic.

Yes the costume is indeed very detailed, but like Dim mentioned, the extras get much work put into them as well as the main ones. Or it could just be Lucasfilm's way to trick us again and make us think its someone important by giving them nice clothes.

It could be green skin paint.After all,Amidala had white makeup.Go to aldera.net.They have an interesting article.

Alderanet are saying that the pattern on the costume is the Sith Tattoo.

Yesterday they said it was a stylalsied symbol of the Naboo people or something...

That's what I heard too RC.

And I'd love to know where his oplot outline came from. Another site, new on the field (prequelspoilers.com or something) also had an almost identical plot scope.

If it's real then how did they get it and why hasn't LFL leapt on them with a cease and desist. If they have the real deal info then thats copyright breach.

I don't know...I've wondered about their spy network... it all seems weird to me...Does anyone else think this?

The latest is he's removed the plot summary and said he lost a friend in Australia over it. I do wonder, like you Dim, how real it is.

To that end I have started an electronic scrap book of all these plots so when the film is released I can go back and see how much, if any is correct. Thinks like the Jango/Obi Wan fight have to be discounted as it is 90% proven that they DID come out of LFL. (I kept a copy of thoser too. )

BThere's also a new site, prequelspoilers.com that also posted the exact same thing almost, just before Aldera.Net. How does a site which is 4 weeks old get that stuff. Guess I just don't have the right connections.

Ratcat you could just make it up like they do. Although I'm glad you don't. Look how many people Supershadow fooled with the whole Darth Rage thing. There were some people on here who beleived that.

Thankfully I'm not that good and writing fiction.

I always wondered where that Darth Rage rumour went...

Anyway, is it possible that the person in the select pic is a Gungan? Or are the fingers not right? Its just that the material the clothing is made out of looks rather organic and natural like Gungan clothing.

Yeah the fingers aren't Gungun..

You know it could just be a humanoid who uses body makeup...kind of like the Twe'liks.. That's why I think it's Jamillia.

Yeah I guess so. But if it is a female Gungan then wouldn't it be so annoying if it was Jar Jar's love interest? I'd hate that so much. The scary thing is, thats actually possible. Lucas might make Jar Jar fall in love. (gulp)

Holy cow, the hands aren't THAT big, gang. My first impression was that the person was standing perhaps behind a chair with their hands in from of it, maybe speaking before they pull the chair out and sit down. Or rather, maybe a throne. OR MAYBE A CRADLE.

hmmmmmmm...Gungun Looooooooooooooooove

Nah...I agree with Gun...the hand definately aren't THAT big.

Yeah I know, but still it brought up a rather interesting, yet scary thought about Gungan love.

Hay Gundark,

I hope you're not thinking that the cradle may contain Luke and Leia. I bet you are, go on admit it.

But seriously, it would be a bit early for that I think.

Jar Jar's kids then. (gulp). God how annoying would they be? Imagine if Gungans had multiple children and there were 20 little Jar Jar's running about.
Sorry, I'm getting a little carried away with this Jar Jar kids thing...

Nah they'd be in a bowl like tadpoles...

Good point. Gungans are amphibious so their children must be born and brought up within water. They probably have tanks within Otoh Gunga where kids grow up.

Or they just shove em ouside and tell not to swim off...

Yeah but then they might be attacked by water predators.

Tell em to swim away from anythings thats big and has teeth. There ya go, easy....

Yeah I'm sure they can use their huge ears to swim along at lightspeed. That brings up a thought. What would happen if something moved at lightspeed through water? Would it make some wierd water boom happen under water? Or would the water split apart and make some long wormhole from the track of the thing that was moving at lightspeed? I dunno. I'm no good with physics and all that kind of thing.

Hmmm..that's a really good question...And it would probably be really visually cool to see to..Anyone here know anything about areo and hydrodynamics?

I would imagine you would generate a wave front quite a few hundred
or even thousand miles high.

As light speed is 299,792Km
a second in a vacuum and the refractive index (basically the
drag) of water is 1.33333333.

Therefore light travels
through water at about 224844Km per second, so just where are
you going to find a body of water big enough?

I dunno. Mon Calamari?

Well even if there is no ocean
large enough on Earth, I wonder if there's some other way they
could run an experiment to see what would happen. I've seen footage
of an airplane flying past faster than the speed of sound and
it looked really cool.

At those speeds you could circle the surface of Jupiters clouds
once a second.

Why thanx, Ratcat. I shall have to tell that to all my friends.

Lightspeed is a crazy, crazy way of getting arond, the generators
take advantage of the fabric between planets.

It appears to be Tatooine and one of the things looks like a
Jawa, is the other Anakin?

Possibly, and I must say this is actually an excellent pic. It'
s been a long time since we've seen any really cool select pics
like this one. It's certainly a jawa and like you say, the man
is probably Anakin. And what's that on the left side of the pic?
Anakin's transport he uses while on Tatooine? A landspeeder maybe.
..

This is definately another one that would make a great wallpaper for you PC/Mac.

BTW, that's a Swoop at the side. If you look close you can see the supports that will be removed in post-production so it looks like it's floating.

Really? That's cool. But are you absolutely sure about that? It might be the Jawa's cart full of junk.

So Anakin is going to be flying around Tattoine on a motorbike. He's getting badder all the time. It'll be a tattoo and a nose ring next. Just wait and see.

DD, pretty sure yes.

Check out this comparision:

www.episode-2.co.uk/news/...lect19.htm

KJ, well he's a brash 19 year old, what do you expect.

Awesome, Swoops in Ep2

Anakin is looking for his lost mother and asks a Jawa for directions? Go figure.

In the EU doesn't Aurra Sing ride a cusytomized Swoop. Maybe she steals in from Anakin....

Hmmm, I had started a pic with Anakin and Padme righting a bike or swoop a while back...too bad I hit that glitch.

Thanx for the comparison Ratcat, I see what you mean now. It'll be great to see Anakin ride that thing.

yea! cool...I bet anakin was thinking "wohh...I gatta get one of those !!!" when Darth maul almost ran him down with his sith lord speeder bike thing..

Yeah..it's very Rebel Without A Cause..

Nah, the rebellion doesn't start in Episode-II!!!

I hope your being sarcastic RC.

*Opps,I didn't see the laughing icon*

No, I dealy serious..... NOT!!!

The official site has posted a slightly earlier pic this week, one of a triple-engined ship going through Hyperspace. Pretty cool, although I can't work out what the square is there for.

I guess they posted it earlier because it's a holiday.

Who's ship do you think it belongs to? It looks like a Republic ship, similar to the Cruiser from TPM.

This select is quite clever as it uses it's own image to hide the important details.

If you look at the central rectangle you will see it is actually a smaller version of the main picture. It has been reduced and strategically placed to cover the bigger image of the ship in order to hide details of the vessel.

My initial thoughts were that this was the Nubian from Episode-I but then I realised that it had one engine too many, the Nubian had two wing mounted sublight engines whilst this has a third central engine.

Maybe it iis an enhanced version of the Nubian, maybe the next itineration of the Nubian design???

I think the cloud like areas are supposed to reprtesent Hyperspace, that's where you can see that central image is a smaller version of the main one.

Not much enhancement can be done, which is a major shame. Oh well, nice picture, good tea. Come back next week.....

Well spotted RC.
Shame there's not really much to discuss about the pic apart from who the ship might belong to.

Yeah, TFN have got it into their heads that it's a Sith ship because it's engine coroan is green just like Mauls was????

I thought the corona was actually blue, looking at it again I think it's just a Old Republic cruiser as seen at the beginning of Episode-I.

However, it is a little hard to tell how big it is. If you imagine its the size of a fighter then it would seem a more elegant stealthy ship. It doesn't look particularly evil so I wouldn't say it is a Sith ship.

TFN also said how it looks strange having the large spine thing at the bottom as it would not be able to land, so when you turn the pic upside down it makes more sense. I'm not quite sure what to make of it yet.

I would like to point out on the previous pic...while the shorter figure appears to be a jawa and the taller figure appears to be anakin...there's only one sun in the sky that I can see. Ahem.

They'll obviously put the second one in during post production. Besides, perhaps the 2 suns don't always have to be side by side. Maybe they sometimes come far apart and one may be in view of the camera while the other isn't.

And here with tonight's weather....outer rim meteorologist DD !! Okay, maybe digitally added later.. , but wouldn't the suns have to be the same distance from each other all the time (like cause of gravity between the suns).

Hmmm good point. Plus, I can't figure out how Tatooine would orbit both of them if they keep changing positions. Lets just stick with the post-production excuse then.

Okay, I'll compromise with you on this one. Post production insertion. PPI for short. Kind of sounds like a surgical term. Ouch.

I was just gonna say that I can't remember a shot of on Tatooine where both suns weren't right next to each other.

Back to my big book of the universe (AKA The New Atlas of the Universe by Patrick Moore), they call that a Binary Star System. Both stars revolve around themselves witha common center of gravity and any planets/saterlites rotate around the pair.

Just thought I'd mention it.

I bow once again to your superior intellect, RC.

Hey, UBH, looks like you're gonna have to start "Son of Select Pics".

Hmmm, the newest pic is pretty dull. Reminds me of Select No. 3, just a senate official from TPM sitting in a possible interior of Coruscant.

But at least this one appears to be fully made up and everything. The previous one was only half in costume.

Well, closing topic...Goodbye Toonbuck, can't say we'll miss ya..
