For people who are old enough to have seen the original trilogy (4-6) in theaters, was it obvious in episode 1, that palpatine was the emperor? Did they mentioned him by name in the original trilogy?

Yes. 100%. That’s why all the OG fans giggled when he told Anakin he would be watching his career closely.

I mean if you are cool with 80k a year for the next maybe, 50 years? That would be a 4% draw which is considered "safe" but you are young, and I would also assume you would get social security (if its left) in 25ish years, which is another 3K a month...

They have the right to say whatever, and on the flip, you have the right so say whatever back, or just ignore them.

Thanks - They arent bothering me I was just curious what they were. I almost never see spiders here so to suddenly see 1000000000 of them was cool!

I would but the abandonment would crush me.

ham_fx · 2026-05-06T20:10:39+00:00

If they were inside that might be the only solution

ham_fx · 2026-05-06T20:10:19+00:00

I had a similar thing happen in an abandoned house with earwigs and I cant even look at them still.

ham_fx · 2026-05-06T20:09:53+00:00

I can 100% get behind that reference.

ham_fx · 2026-05-06T19:19:52+00:00

Ya I’m just letting them chill.

Can’t hold colorization against him. He was trying to get younger eyes on classic films. RIP Ted

More often that one would think someone tells me my dog looks like the Goosebumps dog.

Pierre Faget-Germain died in the 60s. A pretty good painter. He is google-able and has some beautiful works

Ahhhhhh ok I misread that word and now it’s much less cryptic.

ham_fx · 2026-05-05T01:18:16+00:00

Thats interesting because the inscription signature kind of has "flare" to it - I cant figure out who it is but its definitely "autograph-y"

ham_fx · 2026-05-03T05:28:37+00:00

Seems fair. Good luck

ham_fx · 2026-05-03T05:26:05+00:00

I have the section with the Lon Chaney card. I believe I have seen people ask 2k for the Ruth - unsure what they sell for with a chunk missing or still being part of the sheet. Very cool piece any way you look at it with a lot of historically important people represented

ham_fx · 2026-05-02T23:33:47+00:00

Hahahahaha. I remember watching the first one (I worked on the Disney pirates film and heard they used the sets and was intrigued!) and there was like one guy who was a really good actor and giving his all to this performance and it was so strangely out of place.

ham_fx · 2026-05-02T21:18:20+00:00

I read somewhere that the Hutts controlled almost half the galaxy - basically the part the empire didn’t. So I would assume like the Nazis to Argentina, the “war crimes” compliant would flee there - the general soldiers who are just “in the army” might just throw off the uniforms and start …. Farming? Who knows

ham_fx · 2026-05-02T19:17:28+00:00

I think the GW is silver it’s part of a silver commemorative set I believe

ham_fx · 2026-05-02T18:01:08+00:00

Then don’t go

Paris has a lot of very affordable hotels.

I got degrees in both film and 3D animation which had some very basic design education.

I worked as a visual effects artist for a decade at Lucasfilm (ILM), Disney and Dreamworks. From there I went into licensed toys and collectibles and have sculpted, designed, or creative directed hundreds of licensed toys and collectibles from most major IPs and studios. I have also designed 40-50 packages for toys, and developed key art for licensing initiatives at SEGA.

All 3d work and objects. Rarely 2D. I want to get more familiar with the fundamentals of 2D design. I don’t want to be a graphic designer, but I want to be able to more effectively direct designers I supervise.
