[Thread of threads]

I'd forgotten I'd made threads as soon as I got here. It wasn't very practical, but I couldn't help myself. 😅

Until I have a system for grouping them on my profile, like on the other network, I'll gather them here. 🖖

1/ George Lucas and the three-second rule:
I don't usually collect figures, but this gives me an excuse to buy a replica of the Thunderbird 3. @gerryanderson.bsky.social 😁

Rogue One (2016)

Mads Mikkelsen (Galen Erso): "For a Star Wars film, the script was surprisingly unfinished. It kept changing. One would think that was already done. I don’t think they ever locked in a draft. I think they kept working on it and improvised, and went back and reshot stuff."

Christmas continues for me with unexpected gifts. 🤩

They won't fool me, I'm clearly in a horror video game, I recognize the work of the environment designers.

Martin Scorsese's Hugo (2011) is such a perfect Christmas movie.

Such a beautiful homage to Méliès, to the beginnings of cinema, to artists and magicians, to the wizards of special effects, and to the first space voyage on film... 🤩

It's funny because for many fans it must be just a retro video, but for me it's an essential part of Star Wars. 🤩

Such an immersive and magic experience when you're 13 (or 45).
The original STAR TOURS boarding safety video has been living rent free in my head for decades.

Welcome to the sudden influx (?) of followers!
This account is dedicated to the past, present, and future of (mostly space) sci-fi, as well as its creation.

Your homework is to watch The Expanse, For All Mankind, Andor, and Scavengers Reign. And don't forget to never give up, never surrender. ☝️

Christmas Eve (1/4)
No sci-fi, but I finally got some sock pizzas! I've been dreaming of them for ages. 😁

Also, a "bande dessinée": the true story of a resistance fighter during the liberation of Paris in 1944, which resonates with my grandmother's stories (next post).

Another one bites the dust (among many). Maybe next time for the Imperial Radch trilogy! 🤞

(Please send the concept art 🙏)

Wonderful map of the French-speaking Bsky community, a great job done!

And since I post in English to an international audience, I'm faaaaaaaar at the North of the map. 😂

The first discussion this Christmas with my family was literally, "Will the American example be enough to deflate the rise of authoritarianism, or will cruelty solely for the benefit of a few rich people still remain desirable in Europe?"

(I was the most optimistic 😁)

This spotlight on an Alien spacecraft is the first* in a behind-the-scenes series that will grow in 2026 and recount the creation of the iconic Alien spaceships in which you can scream (unlike in space).

(*actually, I also wrote two pieces about the ships in Alien Isolation & Colonial Marines.)
