the star trek original series phaser was well done. most everything is part of the type1 that is detachable with a plastic cover that just had a bit of led to make it a type2. The high end lightsabers were nice but pricey. Had a power outage and a green one lit up things pretty good but you could look right at it and not be blinded.
Nope, I’ve been tricked enough times by that domain. They’ll just repeat the click bait headline for one paragraph/sentence. Then a full screen ad or three. Then they’ll explain what Star Wars is. Then an ad. Then they’ll explain what The Mandalorian and Grogu are. Then an ad. Then they’ll rephrase the click bait title as a question. Then an ad. Then they’ll finally get around to doing a bad job of plagiarizing a mediocre reddit comment thread, but word it as a hypothesis. That usually takes a sentence or two, but sometimes they just skip this part. Then an ad. Then some non-committal conclusion. This conclusion can usually be reused for any similar articles about the subject, in this case Star Wars. Then more ads of equal or greater screen scrolling than the length of the entire article with ads that you just read.
They might add Ben Bova’s Grand Tour, Iain M Banks’ Culture, Anne McAffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern, and Harry Harrison’s Stainless Steel Rat series to the list.
This was the whole ethos of the first Star Wars films - Lucas made a point of getting everything look worn, to the point of having a term for it: the "used universe". Exemplified by C-3PO's whole look, Luke's clothes or even Han Solos's sweaty shirt.
It's a shame he seems to have completely forgotten this when it was time to make the prequels...
I'd argue it wasn't forgotten in the prequels. Most of the characters and plot revolves around and is supported by very large well funded organizations (Republic, Trade Federation, ect) which means the clothing and equipment they have is less likely to be worn down. The same can be seen in the original trilogy with the Empire, storm troopers and imperial ships are well polished and not "used".
I wonder if this was the reason for my dislike of the costumes in one of the marvel Thor movies. Just remember them looking like a cheap cos player outfit made from plastic.
I remember an old Superman comic. Trapped under a red sun, Supes is powerless, but his Kryptonian supersuit is still indestructible. Supes is bruised and battered but his clothes stay immaculate.
[iirc, the supersuit is made of Kryptonian tech and was originally blankets used to swaddle in infant Kal-El]
I'm torn. More For All Mankind is good, but the Soviet stuff we've seen already is a big bummer for me. (not to get into spoilers) Generally I like a paranoid thriller, but not if my faves are tied up in it!
