Re: OT: The original Star Trek getting a CG makeov
You know when Lucas changed that scene with Han Solo, he ruined the entire movie. That was just a bad bad bad call on his part. We all know that when some green dude speaking hutties points a blaster at your face, its a live or die situation and you had better be the one to fire the first shot. And besides, HOW IN THE HELL COULD HE HAVE MISSED? Solo's face was RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM! Lucas, lucas, lucas... if only someone could have saved Star Wars from Lucas.

Whoops, you are indeed correct.

Re: OT: The original Star Trek getting a CG makeover
Personally, I hope they show the Gorn ship, and use the Star Fleet Battles model for it. 
And ya, good one - I'm with you. Lucas showed he was part of the Thought Police when he covered up for Han Solo. And that he had bad taste, when he sprinkled lots of pointless CGI extras into the originals. |

Re: OT: The original Star Trek getting a CG makeov
Hey I read once that Lucas even wanted to replace the guns in Star Wars with non gun looking "tools." HE hates guns and felt that he didn't want any one but evil people to use them in his movies.
At least in Star Trek, they have guns, and they used them whenever diplomacy failed and tougher tactics were required. However, I do not believe that I have ever seen an episode where any federation ship or crew man has had to fire the first shot. Thats cool. (Those that did, like Commander Tracy, and the captain of the Equinox paid the price.)

Re: OT: The original Star Trek getting a CG makeov
Hopefully they'll have better phaser disintegration effects. In the old series, you shoot someone with a phaser and their whole body glows for a moment and then just disappears. The wall or any objects behind the person are totally untouched.
And when the Enterprise fires phasers, you see these two beams diverging out an angle from the ship. Then the view changes to the beams hitting the target, like an asteroid or whatever, and the two beams converge at the target, which doesn't make sense. Also, in some of the episodes, the phasers from the Enterprise look like these glowing balls instead of beams for some reason.
New graphics for the planets would be nice, too. They re-used the same generic footage of the Enterprise orbiting a planet for many different episodes that are supposed to be different planets.

Yeah, they look like photon torpedoes but Captain Kirk's voice says "fire phasers".
