A fantastically detailed look by Michael at the evolution of the design of Chewbacca.
As always with sci-fi interfaces, the important part is telling the story, not realism or accuracy. Personally, I liked the way that the World War II trappings of Rogue One extended to communications and networking technologies.
The on-screen interfaces for Rogue One have just the right retro feel next to those for The Force Awakens.
A magnificent piece of writing from Michael, examining the influence of Sergio Leone on George Lucas.
Cardigans are not entirely necessary for a show or a film to fit within the Cardigan sci-fi subgenre (although they certainly help). It’s the lack of polish in the world, it’s the absence of technological fetishism in the science fiction itself. The science or the tools or the spaceships do not sit at the heart of Cardigan sci-fi — it’s all about the people that wear the cardigans instead.
Brand identity in sci-fi films, like Alien, Total Recall, Robocop, and Back To The Future.
This makes for a nice companion site to Sci-fi Interfaces.
My spoilertastic thoughts on the final film in the Skywalker saga.
Star Wars Episode VIII
The inevitable opinion piece on *that* movie.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Feline-based communication.
