Stargate SG-1 Creator Reveals Real-Life Star Wars Tech That Could’ve Made “All the Difference”
A co-creator behind Stargate SG-1 looks back on how some modern tech could've changed the fan favorite series.
You're viewing a single thread.
"Real-life Star Wars tech" confused me, since it's a missile defense system IRL, but it's talking about:
The massive screens and virtual set technology pioneered on more modern shows like The Mandalorian.
“Yes, it grew increasingly difficult and frustrating to go out into the woods of British Columbia and pretend it was another planet”
I quite liked the feel of the series being in woods so much, and it made sense given that many of those "worlds" were pre-industrial (plus alien tech).
It was pretty nice to see worlds with real plants and nature and not just some sparsely decorated sound stage.
Or the same old quarry with a different gel over the lens.
Just in case you were thinking about "Cold Lazarus" with the yellow sand, that was actually all practical. It was filmed in the sulphur piles in the Vancouver bay docks.
Nope, I was contrasting SG1 with Star Trek, which has filmed in the Bronson Canyon uncountable times (actually, I'm sure someone has counted).
oh, so they're saying if they had access to the effect technology that Star Wars did. I thought you were going to say it was about the Star Wars missile defense program from Reagan
