Terra Firma

why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure we’ve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but like… 

I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:

#damn earth is cool#also shit this hit 6k?#and for all the comments going “but this would destroy the ecosystem”#a) cgi b) cgi has advanced since the prequels and used in moderation could be cool c) this is just pointing out that earth is badass#yet lucasfilms keeps using the same 3 flavors of planet#the prequels were almost all cg and some places were entirely computer created giving that unnatural feel#if you cg in an actual place once in a while you can still get it to look cool without destroying an ecosystem (via @wearethesparkk)
