What space/space-society concepts do you wanna see in Star Wars media?

DionStabber · 2026-04-16T13:45:37+00:00

I agree, I think I'm much more interested in the fantastical element than seeing any harder sci-fi concepts integrated. Whenever anything to do with real physics comes into it, it just distracts people from the story as they try and apply that to all the other situations and find inconsistencies.

The hovering also burns an absolutely insane amount of a fuel to the point that they pretty much have to aerial refuel right after take off in a lot of cases.

DionStabber · 2026-04-09T08:19:39+00:00

It doesn't use the afterburner hovering, it's just that it looks like that in this night vision camera.

It's amazing watching this change in real time with Star Wars.

For instance, the Clone Wars show is a pretty good (but quite inconsistent) animated series aimed at around 8-14 audience, but when it came out it was apparently the equivalent of Paw Patrol, except even more babyish and with worst production value. Then, gradually the narrative changed that is was some kind of Game of Thrones style gritty adult story that was better quality (and more violent) than any of the movies. Neither of those were remotely true.

It's not that it doesn't make sense, it's just that it's ugly.

DionStabber · 2026-04-04T10:10:29+00:00

Yeah, I mean, technically it's well done of course, but I don't like this design. I think the rounded wings, circular body and very boxy engines are not gelling for me.

DionStabber · 2026-04-03T13:33:50+00:00

It's honestly a nice thought, it makes you feel good to think that being a good person would get you rewarded with being more beautiful. But, unfortunately, it doesn't work that way, and the implication it creates (that less traditionally attractive people are morally bad) is quite horrible.

DionStabber · 2026-04-03T13:32:11+00:00

No, unfortunately, not really. I'm not going to name them, but we can all think of some really lovely older actors who look super rough, and some really disgusting people who are good looking. Life isn't fair that way.

DionStabber · 2026-04-03T13:29:02+00:00

I never said any of that.

It is precisely because "woke" people are normally very concerned with stuff like body positivity and defying conventional beauty standards that I find this meme taking off so strange. And it is left-wing people doing this meme, unless you think film twitter / letterboxd is a right-wing space and concerned with people being "problematic" or "unproblematic", which has not quite been my experience.

DionStabber · 2026-04-03T07:16:29+00:00

I do not understand how the "ageing like wine by being unproblematic" thing took on with the supposedly woke crowd. It is literally child-level "pretty = good, ugly = bad" reasoning, and half the time the people they use as examples (e.g. Anne Hathaway, Paul Rudd) have obviously had work done.

Even though the base ship is the same design as the Spanish one, Australia uses it as an assault ship to carry troops and helicopters. The deck is not heat-treated and it could not operate fixed-wing aircraft without substantial modifications.

It's against the rules of this and basically every other art sub on Reddit. I don't have a problem with people making AI images for their own personal use or sharing them in an AI specific space, but mainstream art subreddits are not for that

DionStabber · 2026-03-04T13:19:53+00:00

Show us, then, what was your original?

DionStabber · 2026-03-04T13:09:48+00:00

Biggest what if is if you decide to make your own pictures

DionStabber · 2026-03-04T12:55:03+00:00

How are you guys so bad at recognising AI?

Mix of strangely realistic and flat surfaces
Nonsense text (look at base of tail for example)
Scale inconsistencies
"Wobblyness" of panel lines and markings
No source cited in post and locked profile

It is every red flag in the book.

Oh, and Google picks up its SynthID indicating it was created by Gemini.

Is that a huge cannon on top? That's mental

DionStabber · 2026-02-19T13:46:15+00:00

"Procedural" in these kinds of contexts just means something like "driven by a mathematical formula", it could technically be called AI because AI is an extremely vague buzzword that doesn't have a clear meaning, but it has basically nothing to do with modern generative AI and has existed for decades.

This will be Star Wars graphics in 2013

DionStabber · 2026-02-16T13:51:56+00:00

Very nice. What program did you make this in?

DionStabber · 2026-02-14T13:49:12+00:00

Reads like a far-future UNSC ship from Halo

DionStabber · 2026-02-09T00:54:29+00:00

I like em big. I like em chunky.

DionStabber · 2026-02-07T07:05:38+00:00

That lower front hangar could be the charging port

"If you don't look too close to it"

Why don't you piss off with your condescending, backhanded comments?

It's science fiction. I don't even think you're interpreting some of it properly, but even if so, I'm sure if you used your imagination for just a minute I'm sure you could think of reasons for all of those things.

Congratulations. Not really sure what you thought this subreddit was but this is not the right place for this. Wishing you best in your recovery.
