Completely agreeExactly. I remember a few years back I was laughing at some Honda Civic with a really janky wing on it. My dad (big car guy, mainly GM, mainly Corvettes) was with me and he said "Hey that might be a young kid and that's the only thing he can do with his car right now to try to modify it so give them a break." and that made sense. They should have done the same thing and had that scooter gang with beater speederbikes that they were trying to make look more fancy, but couldn't pull off because they're on Tatooine.
Actually, like others have said, those scooter gang people would work fine, just not on Tatooine. You put them on a more affluent planet like Corellia, Coruscant, etc. they would fit right in.
Possibly. But they still look too real world to me.
Haha I'm trying to be generous here.I 100% agree with what everyone else has said about the Vespa Scooter Gang…if only the setting had changed from a dirt planet, they would have totally worked and been an awesome gang of “cyborg street toughs”.
Just like this turd in a punch bowl…if only the turd was placed in a different punch bowl, it would totally be palatable and maybe even the most awesome confection ever.

Ha I put them in the same camp as the dude trying to sell Ben Death sticks in the prequels..There's been a generous helping of them lately.... that's for sure.
And what must they be doing to create it Bleurgh!The diner always felt so strange.. “Jawa juice” I cringe every time…
Rather redundant don't you think?Put them on a funeral pyre?
If you mean the usually-red "anchor" looking thing, that was more an Alderaan thing. Difficult-to-follow production stuff suggests it was to be painted on Leia's ship ("the crest of the royal house of Alderaan"), but ultimately not. The Rebel insignia -- more probably the emblem of the Republic they're trying to restore -- is the "sliced onion" decal on the Rebel helmets. At the time the movie was made, the Empire was a recent thing, and a lot of the Rebel pilots were Republic veterans who deserted rather than serve in the Empire.So something I've always wondered. The Rebel Alliance symbol. Is there any known real world stuff on the symbol? Was it meant to be a stylized bird? Or just a random cool looking symbol?
Yes, but this was Mos Espa.There's also the thing about Mos Eisley being a "wretched hive of scum and villainy". Those scooter kids don't exactly give off that vibe. Heck, Griff and his crew from Back to the Future 2 were more intimidating.
You are correct, sir. I was thinking Mando landed at Mos Espa but all the action with Boba took place at Mos Eisley. My mistake.If you mean the usually-red "anchor" looking thing, that was more an Alderaan thing.

But yes -- both were created by John Mollo, along with the Imperial "cog" to be part of the visual storytelling. Drawing from the Kurosawa influence George was talking about while writing "The Hidden Fortress in Space", using mon as inspiration for the factions (which were originally much more in the vein of noble houses fighting for position and power under a distant and indifferent Emperor, a la the Japanese medieval period of said Kurosawa film). There is a strong Japanese element to his early sketches, before the story refined, and refined again.
Yes, but this was Mos Espa.
I see what you did there. I was thinking more out of honoring the dead, tradition. Since they were so savagely murdered, maybe giving their memories some respect by having a impromptu funeral,Rather redundant don't you think?
you know early on a few people mentioned it was animated like a old stop motion puppet... they sure were right. i didn't see this coming to be honest with ya, thought CGI for sure
I dont remember Rogue One perfectly since I only saw it once but given that Cassian killed a fellow rebel who could have been an informant for the Empire early in the movie and was quite instrumental in helping get the death star plans to the rebels, him turning out to be a traitor feels like a cheap attempt to surprise the audience.
