Trying to lose my post-holiday blues I watched the movie Star Wars today, a guaranteed tonic, which worked. It's still amazing what Lucas, Katz, Dykstra et al achieved in 1977 without the benefit of CGI. I was once again struck by the similarity of shape between the huge Imperial Cruiser and the comparatively tiny SWORD Scout 3. My own homage to the iconic opening scene [above bottom] is above top. I'm currently half-way through The Empire Strikes Back! What's your favourite space or sci-fi film?

Hmmm. Difficult to name a favourite. Star Wars I would guess to be number one as it blew me away at the cinema. Empire Strikes back, Star Trek 2 - Wrath of Khan, Thunderbirds are Go, Alien, Aliens.
So many guilty pleasures too -
The Humanoid , Starcrash, Wing Commander, Battle Beyond the Stars...
Love them all in their own ways.
2001: A Space Odyssey is my all time favourite.
2001: A Space Odyssey is mine to.
And - completely different - I have a soft soft for the Doctor Who films from the sixties.
Tch ... (mutters) was supposed to be "soft spot".
Guess I was referring to my brain, huh?
