#star wars movie concept

[archerygun]

I thought some more about the Monuments Men movie concept.

Like damn it I think a bunch of shitty historians fighting fascism would be really cool and I think a serious movie concept where rebel characters who don’t come from privileged or important places get to have interests and hobbies and passions would be so neat.

But also six idiots brainrot Simon Farnaby pilot man.

This weeks DUNE painting I managed to finished in between freelance! Based on your top choices last week, here is The Baron, Vladimir Harkonnen.

Should I continue making more DUNE art? I have plans for either Stilgar or Princes Irulan based on last weeks popular opinion. Which one should I paint next?

Probably the most recognizable archetype from the DUNE universe, the scheming ruler of Geidi Prime has the ambition to rule Arrakis and even sit the Imperial Throne, through any means necessary. The design was inspired by both the Lynch and Villeneuve Versions of the Baron (with a tiiiny bit of Dr Octopus perhaps!)

Hope you like it!

All the best,

JCH

I had an idea.

So I was thinking about Farns Monsbee and how interesting a rebel without the kind of background you typically see on a historian in Star Wars would be.

Like imagine a freaking movie about preserving the cultures of aliens that are being genocided/have already been wiped out by the imperials. A movie about documenting history before it’s lost forever so the next generation that aren’t at war can learn about themselves and their culture.

And then it hit me. Monument Men but with Farns Monsbee and equally silly shufflings of the other five Six Idiots’ names.

I’m not much of an illustrator but I did my best. Not sure what kind of wack team this would make. You leave your opinions here if you like.

I think this would be completely in the spirit of the original trilogy because a fair amount of it was based on daft old war movies, and completely in the spirit of Rogue One going back to both the daft old war movies and the samurai films that inspired the OT.

The thing that pisses me off the most about the inhibitor chip retcon is that they act as if Order 66 is the primary directive while attributing the rest to a vague ✨️Mindcontrol✨️ obedience. The way TCW introduced the whole deal with Tup immediately trying to kill any Jedi in sight when his chip malfunctions was so incredibly stupid to me.

How does a "malfunction" like that even work? Why would it specifically trigger that response and not also any of the other contingency orders, like, I don't know, the one that has them blowing up an entire planet or arresting everyone in the room.

Yes, the clones' main purpose was as an effectively cruel way to kill 99.9% of germs Jedi but that was... hardly all of it. They're an intrinsic part of the imperial machine; there's a reason so many orders exist and that reason is control. If Palpatine only wanted to get rid of the Jedi, he could've just invested in assassins or a nuke, but that wasn't the point.

It's meant to be systematic. It's about how easily a democracy can slip into fascism simply by taking one step after another. That's why I personally preferred the idea of the clones being indoctrinated into following these orders; they were quite literally made and raised to think that way. They serve as the deliberate template that would help shape the galaxy in a way where soon enough willing participants would continue to take their place.

Pushing all of that off on a conventional mindcontrol chip just feels cheap and undermines the whole idea of how anyone could end up thinking that way. How despite all of their individuality and differences, at large, the clones still follow the same orders, the same expectations. And how much more meaningful it is when you question it and consciously choose to break away from it. To fight it.
