The execution of it was superb. Sure, the technology could be a bit better, but consider what that means in five or ten years' time.

Aye. And I think in some ways ILM are the problem here. When you look at what they achieved with Tarkin, Leia and Luke, and compare it to what fans have achieved with deepfake, you can see that ILM are not the industry leaders in this technology.

Yep, it's been a slow Holiday Season here in a galaxy far far away. But sometimes it's good to take a break and recharge the motivators. wink

Here we are in 2021 then. I'm feeling like I could pull the ears off a gundark, so will get us underway again tomorrow if anyone has any posts they want to squeeze in.

Here's that turbolaser turret diagram again:

Also, for Mirror Team, here is a First Order sentry droid:

You can see from this concept art how they enter combat mode:

Sort of a compact, down-gunned version of a Droideka. Not quite as fearsome but able to pin you down until reinforcements can arrive.

So can the gun be controlled from in here, who all would know how, and any idea how long it would take to aim and fire the turret?

Smoke Team have a code cylinder from a junior officer, that should give them permission to control the turbolaser. Of course, they need a target.

There is the comms relay or the AT-AT.

There's the shuttleport, though you might need that for your escape. You still plan to stealing two Aratech-type arrays for your ship's inertial compensators.

The shield generator/powerplant would be a last resort as it might cut Mirror Team off from the rest of the Ghidrah network.

Other than targets, what other options are in the turbolaser turret tower?

Blast doors can be activated to seal you in (and the First Order out).

There is an exterior hatch halfway up the tower, that leads to the outside world. Possibly a good escape route.

On the upper level there is an Imperial HoloNet terminal. It might be used to find information on J.B.'s Colonel Relnard.

"BB-H8" was actually the onset name for BB-9E in The Last Jedi. Good nickname, like you say AJ. smile

Art. Hopefully our heroes undone quite yet! grin

Aye, a lovely post. And what is it about astromech droids that makes them so damn lovable?

PP. Inside Ghidrah, J.B. has discovered a link to the Purgill calf experiment and this would be an oportunity for her to shut it down. It would effectively terminate the Purgill but that must be a blessing compared to its life of perpetual torture.

ummm... okay... I read it as a means to stop remote access... but I'm not sure she can terminate the creature, not without talking to it again first... that might be a bridge too far, especially knowing that she is about to lose Babay. Not sure what the game allows as far as time and plot development go.

just recognizing that possibility might be another soul wrenching post...

I guess in some ways the Purgill calf has already been killed by the Imps. They captured and confined it, disected it and wired into its brain. It's the technology of the bacta tank that's kept it alive through the years of neglect since.

Still, nothing is set in stone. It's just an option that has presented itself.

In the course of researching for the big speech, here's every closed caption from a far more talkative BB-unit in the film in which they appear the most.

That is quite fascinating! Must be a fun little job actually, writing closed captions.
