The characters look great. Can't wait to see this! :)
"They're not triangular, but they are more or less blade-shaped"- Thrawn McEwok on the shape of Bakura destroyers

"Lovely. It's known as impugning character regarding statement of professional qualifications' in the legal world"- Karen Traviss, crying libel because I said that no soldier she interviewed would claim that he can take on billion-to-one odds

"I've already laid out rules for this thread that we're not going to make these evidential demands"- Dark Moose on supporting your claims

Just a quick update. I didn't think I'd have too much FX work to do on this, but I was wrong! I'm using a free program to do lightsaber FX. It work effin' GREAT, but I have to set the points for the lightsaber every single frame! There's very little lightsaber stuff in this, but 30 fps for 4 seconds of footage equals 120 frames I have to "paint" a lightsaber on!
The effect is worth it, though.

Then, I just received the jetpack mesh Friday, so I had to redo the costumes and "refilm" everything. I was just going to have them without jetpacks and say fuck it, but it just looks so much cooler! Spoiler: There's one scene, where the backpacks aren't worn, but are stacked in a corner. :)

Since Boba has his backpack, I had to rethink the ending, too. But it wasn't too much different, and is now funnier. IF I can pull it off!

Hopefully, I'll have this done before Friday. Then I'm shooting a PM to YodaKenobi!

:lol: This one is going to make "Talian!" look like a love letter to Traviss!

Oh no! Considering the missile and what we were discussing for the ending... :shock:
