I was just thinking that the Boba Felt chase scene was too slow. I could practically 'feel' the weight of the mopeds, and some of the movement made it obvious these were wheeled devices with CG trickery applied after. The general speed of the chase made me feel like I was watching Mitchel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOCqlKNW9rU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOCqlKNW9rU
- dekhn 5y agoAre you 100% certain the mopeds were wheeled? I think these days it's also possible to just have a moped on a rotating stilt in front of a blue screen, and that's a lot easier for interior shooting/stunts.
- titusjohnson 5y agoThat certainly might have been it too, but if they're going that direction I would have expected everything to just feel more weightless/frictionless.
- dekhn 5y agoI think this is a core part of the aesthetic of Star Wars as originally created by Lucas. In particular, those characters were amalgams of 50s greasers, 70s punks and 80s mods. If you haven't seen American Grafitti, it's worth watching as a reference, but basically, they're going for landspeeder physics and landspeeders kind of hover a constant distance over the ground.
