Cool Pictures although I had to open them outside the thread first for them to show up.

I love the thetismoon picture (first one)

It's one of the quintessential Star Wars moments. It's also what made the final shot of the last movie (Ep. III) so emotional.

Awesome stuff, thanks for the post. Ever check out the graphics on the game called "Eve Online", the images are beautiful, varied, detailed, and quite realistic. The visuals are realistic but physics was clearly thrown out the window. Ballistics is a fine art in Eve but if you turn off your ship thrusters you will very quickly coast to a stop just like a ship in water. Gravity?--doesn't seem to be any although moons and planets are said to be in orbit, their relative positions never seem to change.

Anyway, its a helluva game--anyone can get a free 'trial subscription', it is worth the download just to see the graphics.
