Podcasts about Tantive IV

Top up your coaxium, pay off the portmaster, check the nava computer and try not to bounce too close to a supernova as we invite you to Start Your Engines. This episode Paul Naylor and Mark Newbold discuss the very first starship seen onscreen in Star Wars way back in 1977, the Tantive IV, a CR90 corvette also known colloquially as a Blockade Runner. We look at it's long history, its attributes, technical details and much more on the latest episode of Start Your Engines.

The fourth episode of the Thank the Makers podcast was an exploration of the Tantive IV by Demetrius, Anthony, and Ken. Yup, we spent almost an entire hour talking about a single ship that roared across screens in 1977 and changed the world forever. Take a trip back to June 8, 2020 and listen to us in the early stages of our podcasting adventure.

In Star Wars Rogue One we get possibly the most epic Darth Vader scene we've ever had, which was when he kills and slaughters the Rebel Troops who try to pass along the Death Star plans boarding the Tantive IV. What were his thoughts? How did he find them? What did he see through his 'bloodied' lenses? The novelization (canon) tells all, I hope you enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

Another episode in the bag. Also, we have video podcast! Check us out on Youtube. This past Sunday, the whole gang was together. Luca, AJ and my brother Mike. At your pleasure, to deliver that audible chocolate you know and love. This episode of Andor was very good. Once again, credit goes to the writing staff. Several times throughout this viewing, I wrote down what I thought were several great lines delivered by Cassian, Luthen, and Kino. These well written lines were respectively performed by the likes of Diego Luna, Stellan Skarsgard, and Andy Serkis. Clearly the cast is doing a great job with the material they've been provided. Not only do they look like they're having fun but, the set design clearly matches the tones of each scene. One especially chilling exchange takes place between Luthen and and another character who we shall not name here. The setting is dark, cold, and damp. According to the elevator, they are 300+ levels deep on Coruscant. Air is pumped in. All light is artificial. Yet a cool wind brushes by Luthen's black cloak as he coolly speaks this character on a catwalk. Skarsgard is clearly enjoying every moment he can. Andy Serkis also gets his chance to shine this episode. I mention during this broadcast that initially I thought he was going to be more a villain and the prison break would be drawn out to the season finally. Fortunately I was incorrect. In the previous episode Nobody's Listening we saw Andor attempt to bond with Loy. Mostly for selfish reasons but, also we learn more about how dedicated Serkis's character is to maintaining order amongst his men. A close up shot reveals how painful it is for Foy to realize his obedience has been for naught. I'll say it again. This was a great episode. It's had the darkest tone of all so far. We have two episodes left to view. After that, we have all of February to knock those out until Mandalorian Season 3 premiers. Based on all the lightsabers in the trailer I'm really excited to see where they take the series next. Thanks for listening. Also, noticed the blasters the guards were using in the prison were DH-17 which were used by the rebel soldiers on Princess Leia's CR90 Corvette the Tantive IV. I did not know either of those off the top of my head so I'll tweet out the links on to Wookiepedia where I found them.

Star Wars is known for its iconic characters and we fall in love with a lot of them the first time we meet them. Darth Vader making his way through the Tantive IV in a New Hope. Rey scavenging a Star Destroyer before sliding down the Jakku sand dunes in The Force Awakens. The Emperor walking down the ramp of his shuttle in Return of the Jedi. Which is your favorite character introduction. We'll discuss some honorable mentions before going over our Top 5 introductions.

The saying goes 'A good beginning is half the task', and so it is for our favourite filmic fore-wards. The opening of a movie can set the tone for what's to come, and some of them even earn a place in cinematic history. From a snow globe slipping from the fingers of a dying millionaire as he mouths the mysterious word 'Rosebud', to the plucky blockade runner Tantive IV being captured by the Imperial Star Destroyer Devastator over Tatooine, a good opening stays with us long after the closing credits have passed. So join us for our eleventh episode, as we jump into the great, wide opening of memorable movie openers...

On today’s episode, Bidoor and Justin talk about two rather unknown characters from Episode IV: A New Hope, Raymus Antilles, the captain of the Tantive IV, and R5-D4, the droid with a bad motivator. They’ll also talk about the latest Star Wars news. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lets-get-ready-net/support

We comment how neat it is to see Rey confident and badass. Lando is there, and so is the Tantive IV, and so is the Ghost, and so many Star Wars ships! It's great to see such a lovely nod to the Star Wars fandom! Poe is looking fabulous, and so is Finn! Rose is cute as always. Kylo coming out of the mist and saying wedding vows to Rey is an amazing shot! The Reylo in this trailer is not subtle, and it shows that it's not the mystery box. We love seeing Janna, too. And plus there's the C3P0 emotional scene... We comment on Rey and Kylo, horses in space, and all this stuff. We also comment on the poster and have some non-spoilery comments on the leaks. Lots of stuff to unpack, laugh, and celebrate together.

Bombers opening to space? Why aren't people being sucked out into the vacuum of space?2. Hyperspace tracking mentioned in Rogue One. Tantive IV tracked in A New Hope?In an interview on Happy, Sad, Confused, Simon Pegg said, "I know what J.J. kind of intended or at least was being chucked around. I think that’s kind of been undone slightly by the last one. There was some talk of a relevant lineage for her." In a recent interview, Rian Johnson share thoughts on his new trilogy:  "...part of the excitement of it is really trying to hone in on 'what is Star Wars?' What was Star Wars for me the very first time I saw it when I was a little kid? Once you get past the things that are the iconography of Star Wars - once you say, okay, if it doesn't have the Falcon; if it doesn't have someone with Skywalker as their last name; if we don't go to Tatooine, what is it? What is it at its essence? It's a really exciting question, and I think it's something that has to be answered at some point. So let's figure it out." This Week's Poll:Do you think JJ Abrams will make Rey's lineage "relevant" in Episode IX?

"This work and much of my research stems from my interest in the cargo cults Melanesia, a phenomenon of the mythic and scientific, this involved closed societies encountering Western culture and technology for the first time, a biblical event for such uncontacted groups." Could you tell us a bit about yourself. How long have you been a practising artist and where did you study?I’m only 21. So, I’ve not yet graduated from the BA course at Central Saint Martins, I’ll be finished there in a few weeks. Before that I was doing my foundation course at Bath, there I had a great tutor called Dave Hyde, who I think still teaches there. It must be difficult being a tutor during those early stages of an artist’s career, he was very kind and had a great sense of humour, I think a lot of what I do now still comes from the conversations we had together during those early stages. Before that I painted landscapes, and that was where I discovered the joy of making images. When I began studying art at school all my other subjects dropped off, since then I haven't really strayed from that path. Some of your work reminds us of big computer servers and/or control panels from sci-fi movies. Could you tell us about these installations/sculptures?The two works you’re referring to are on display at the Degree Show at the moment. They’re both replicas, or a simulacrum. One, a copy of the chess computer named ‘Deep Blue’ (which also happens to be the title of the work) that beat Chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov in the 90’s, the other; a hallway from the interior of the Tantive IV ship from the opening scene of the first Star Wars movie. My computer, ‘Deep Blue’, bears an uncanny resemblance to the original machine, it is however dissimilar in that it contains no computational power. The only electronics in the machine are the LEDs that blink sequentially underneath the perforated steel, implying sentience, they appear to be decoding a problem, a display of its thinking power. This is a very literal representation of what is called ‘black box technology’, ‘a usually complicated electronic device whose internal mechanism is usually hidden from or mysterious to the user’. A curious viewer might investigate the back of the sculpture, only to reveal the true nature of the object; this side has been neglected, the dense box is in fact hollow, MDF clad in perforated steel, and the LEDs are in fact christmas lights taped to the inside. This work and much of my research stems from my interest in the cargo cults Melanesia, a phenomenon of the mythic and scientific, this involved closed societies encountering Western culture and technology for the first time, a biblical event for such uncontacted groups. Many of the natives constructed religions surrounding the comparatively god-like technology they encountered. Often they will imitate the behaviour of Westerners; some tribes erect giant wooden radio antennas into the heavens, in an attempt to summon the sacred ‘cargo’, just as their now absent visitors had done in order to receive the resources that the islanders now fetishise and covet. Just as the cargo cult radio antenna and wooden flightless aeroplanes have little hope of transmitting a signal or taking off, my computer gives the illusion that it has the capacity to think, yet it has no ‘internal mechanism’. 'DEEP BLUE' @ Capstan house 2017 'The roach motel' 2017 What artwork have you seen recently that has resonated with you?A few weeks ago I picked up a book from my Mum’s bookshelf called ‘Naives and Visionaries’, most of the artists in the book aren’t too interesting, although one did stand out. Jesse Howard was his name, if you look him up you can learn all about him, he called himself Outlaw Howard. It’s hard to find much on him, but that which I can find is always refreshingly genuine and creative; he decorated his home and garden with hand painted signs, sometimes his own words, often they contained biblical and political references. The neighbours hated him so much they even tried to get him sectioned. This only seemed to spur him on though, they kept giving him a hard time and he kept painting signs, in photos you can see his whole front porch and garden are littered with them. He also renamed his homestead ‘Sorehead Hill’ (a great title for a work). Also, recently I was reading a book on Duchamp and I learnt how he had one door hinged between the studio and the toilet, the result being that you can’t shut the door to the studio without the toilet door being open, and you can’t take a shit without the studio being wide open. This is something I wish I’d done, the art works I really like are those that are done in a single gesture, like this. Tell us a bit about how you spend your day/studio routine? What is your studio like?Well, my studio is currently being used for the degree show, once that’s over it won’t be mine anymore. When it was a functioning studio I shared it with a great group of people; Central Saint Martins attracts unusual and fascinating individuals from all over the world, I only got to know a handful of these people (the course hosts over 150 students, so it’s hard to know everyone), but I hope to stay in touch with all those that I’ve spent time with.Towards the end of the my time at CSM I was in the workshops more than the studio. Anything I wanted to make could be done in this one building. Early on I had considerable help from the technicians when it came building certain things, now I think I’m fairly competent when it comes to translating a drawing or 3D model into a tangible thing. 'The roach motel' (detail) 2017 'The roach motel' (detail) 2017  Where has your work been headed more recently?The arrival of the end of the degree has had an impact on what I’m making, or not making. Recently the kind of decisions I’m making regarding work have become logistical rather than creative. Usually by the time I’ve finished making something I’ve lost interest in that thing, and these works end up being less successful, the few things I’ve made that have continued to provide me with intrigue are the only works I really like. This has become important in itself; the afterlife of a work, what happens once it has materialised and I’ve photographed it and published it, often this feels like drawing a line underneath it, and that’s not good. For example, last year I made a replica of the Odeon Cinema logo, just the first letter though. Formally I thought the letter and font worked as a sculpture, without the ‘DEON’ following that first letter it was uncannily familiar to most people (not Americans though, Odeon doesn’t exist in the states). It was over 2 metres in height, and in photos it gave the impression of being this dense, free standing monolith, the object itself is disappointingly fragile; the two pillars stand on the bottom part of the letter and they support the top arch, I never properly attached them so if you knocked it it would tumble over pretty easily. Like the IBM computer and the Tantive IV wall I’d neglected the back, which was left exposed, revealing the wooden structure inside. I was interested in this idea of the object itself becoming a kind of prop or stand in for the real thing, so I took it outside at night and did a photo shoot with it, the images I got from that became the work, the object itself sat in my backyard, where it lost all of its power. How do you go about naming your work?I once heard Glenn Brown say that naming his paintings allowed him to give a ‘tint’ to the work that it was otherwise lacking. The interviewer pressed him on a painting depicting a portrait of Rembrandt’s son titled ‘Joseph Beuys’, wondering why he’d chosen this title for a work that was so completely the opposite; kitsch and ephemeral, rather than serious, German and political. Glenn explained how this was exactly what the painting was missing, and if he gave it this name it would have everything. I haven’t made enough work to really play around with the titling of them in this way, with ‘Deep Blue’, the computer, it is the complete opposite in fact; the title of this work is the name given to the real computer by the scientists that made it. However, the replica of the Tantive IV interior is titled more ambiguously. The name ‘The Roach Motel’ came from an anecdote I heard about a friend who had brought back an insect killer from America, it was designed to attract bugs and trap and kill them in a small cardboard box disguised as a miniature motel. ‘The Roach Motel’ was the name of product and the tagline was ‘Roaches check in but they don't check out’. I heard this when I had just finished making that piece and I was searching for a name for a work that I’d frankly lost interest in, and this breathed new life into it.

Currently I have an offer to study Sculpture at the RCA, if I can find the funding for that then I’ll be there for two years. Although it’s unlikely I’ll be able to find the money to do this, in which case I’ll stay in London and hopefully try and organise a studio for myself. I’m looking forward to slowing down my process a bit, for the last three years there’s been a lot of pressure to churn out something new every few months, I think this encourages the whole ‘drawing a line’ thing I mentioned. I’d like to think that if I was renting a studio and working to pay for it then anything I made in there would be done singularly and with the most care and attention.Art school does that I think, forces you to condense processes down to fit the curriculum, there are plenty of works that I’ve had to move on from prematurely, before they’ve really had any time to develop or explain themselves. I rely partly on this, post-rationalisation that is. That’s not to say I go into the studio and make whatever I fancy that day then figure it out afterwards, there’s a process that comes before. But when it comes to the actual making of a work, I like that to take place in a different kind of mental state, where everything stays outside. I’d like whatever comes out of this place to have been generated as organically as possible, and that can sometimes be difficult if you have the weight of what you want/expect it to be at the back of your mind, what I want and what it really is, I like the idea of those being two different things. www.nathanielfaulkner.comAll images courtesy of the artistInterview published 01/06/17

El Profesor Dinosaurio y MaGnUs nos traen reseñas de dos diferentes juegos de mesa bélicos, pero en ambientaciones muy diferentes. El primero, un juego de tablero sobre combate mano a mano de submarinos steampunk: Steam Torpedo. El otro, un wargame (aunque un tanto más simple que otros de esa categoría) situado en el universo de Star Wars, es el X-Wing Miniatures. A pesar de su nombre, incluye muchas más naves que los X-Wings, empezando por los TIE Fighters, pasando por naves como el Millennium Falcon o el Ghost, hasta naves capitales como el Tantive IV. Con musica de Rammstein, e Iron Maiden. Próximo programa: Star Trek: Conozcan A La Tripulación.

Episode contains spoilers. Andrew can't pronounce Tantive IV and JJ hates trilogies. The first Star Wars Story came out of the gate strong, and though you might be "perplexed, confused and probably angry" JJ and Andrew are here for you! It's pretty amazing how vociferously we can argue about something we both liked.
