Rebelscum.com: eFX Q&A

Posted by Grahame on May 9, 2008 at 07:32 AM CST

Some of the biggest talking points :

"studio scale" vehicles will now be known as "FX Models"
x-wing model will have an opening cockpit and a pilot
they will be doing plaques afterall (mockup below)
No eFX or LFL logos on plaque

The biggest news was about the Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber that was shown in the preview emails last week. The saber will be part of the "Extreme" line, and will be identical to LFL reference photos (including weathering) on the outside, but will open up to reveal the internals of the lightsaber with LEDs and sound! Here is an early rendering of the Obi-Wan lightsaber.

Poll

George Lucas has announced he's done making blockbuster feature films after Indiana Jones 5. He states that one of the factors that weighted heavy on the decision was the negative comments made by fans. The Probe Droid is curious what you think about that.

	We didn't mean it! Please make more movies!
	Boo. I don't like that at all. More movies please.
	We got six movies that tell the full tale. I'm happy.
	Good for you George! You've earned it.
	Thank goodness!
	I don't see the irony here.
