When you really think about it, those Rebel troopers weren't really Rebel troopers per se, they were part of Leia's security detail. So they were either Senatorial or Alderanian troops secretly working for the Rebel Alliance. If they were Rebels in uniform, that kind of makes the Captain's protests to Vader about being on a diplomatic mission a really hard sell. How can you say that you're on a diplomatic mission, basically saying that you made a mistake, when you and your crew are dressed as Rebels?

The technical term is "greebles" and Ian uses the term correctly in the video. The term was (probably) coined by Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic company during the production of _Star Wars_ in 1976. ILM's model makers bought thousands and thousands of plastic model kits which they took apart and glued to their spaceship models to give them the illusion of much larger size. This then became the industry standard for how to make such models, and the term "greebles" stuck. The model makers for _2001: a Space Odyssey_ used similar methods, but it's unknown if they used the same term.
@catfish552

It's a pretty good example of Star Wars design, I think. Star Wars guns are real guns with bits stuck on or cut off - but they still look like guns, characters handle them like guns, and they kinda work like guns: They fire discrete, separate shots (not continuous laser beams), they make a noise each time, they have at least some recoil, usually appear to have magazines,... Like most of the props, vehicles, etc, they're different and otherworldly to some extent, but also familiar enough to give them a certain veracity, and make the universe feel like a real, lived-in place.

I had thought Sand People were basically based on Bedouins, but maybe there is an Afghani reference there given the gun. They more or less hit the beats: they're a nomadic warrior culture who are well adapted to their environment, outsiders tend to be prejudiced against them because of misunderstandings, and basically they try to protect themselves while others act violently toward them because they expect violence. The Mandalorian did a good job digging into this. Mando gets along with the Sand People even though they are usually hostile to outsiders because he is respectful of their culture. So his encounters with them are very different. Then you have Anakin basically expressing the take everyone else has by committing genocide. Humans are actually offworlders on Tattooine, and the situation is much like early relationships between native americans and european colonists. The attitude in Mos Pelgo is obviously deliberately modeled on Westerns, much as Star Wars was originally based on spaghetti westerns and samurai movies. Much like back then, the townsfolk are basically trespassing in sand people land and don't see their own hostile actions toward the sand people. They only see the response, which they consider unreasoning and indefensible.

There was such information, then it got tossed in 1999 or 2000 with the first semi-purge of official-but-not-canon, following the bankruptcy of West End Games and the RPG license going into limbo. But even then, all that was ever official was a couple paragraphs, and Hidalgo has done his best to destroy it. Like five or six lines in Splinter of the Mind's Eye, some of which contradicts what is generally accepted about about blasters, a few more in Han Solo Corporate sector novels which has the same problem. Bits in pieces in roleplaying game supplements which got duplicated by Zahn, Anderson and Stackpole who all used West Ends material for reference. Other novels had random crap. And wookiepedia includes too much trash from video games that was created without referencing canon (either mouse cannon or legends canon) other than for a few model numbers and a poor understanding of the Galaxy and THEN Hidalgo crammed it in sideways with a hammer after he stopped giving a damn. And before people ask, yes, Im a nerd. Most of my hobbies relate to bushcraft, shooting or science fiction. Piss off. :P

It's one of those things that failed the risk/reward test, over time. Blanks are safer, but never entirely safe, and adds considerably to the cost of the prop when the weapons are modded as they were in Star Wars. And while you get proper muzzle flash, that's not a complex effect anymore, nor is it hard to time lights to simulate the flash on set. Everything else is down to the actor. When you don't need to put actors and crew at risk, you shouldn't. And that's wittled away at the utility of blank-firing weapons and similar kinda of practical effects.

A friend photographer of mine, Alexander Sliussarev, used to say: "There's a small transformer building near my house, every day I go by it I se how the light strikes the brick work and I make a photograph, a year later a small birch tree starts growing out of the wall and I take picture, and so on and so forth, hundreds of plain, boring images.... years later the thing is torn down, and now all these images are history". Movie props are not real history while the movie is being shot, they are "tools", once the movie is out technically they are real history, add a legend or two, a couple of fanatics and place in culture and there is no perceptible difference between "real" history and "history".... Yes most of the prop-guns did not serve the original purpose, some of them are not even guns, but they _are_ history =)

There is a lot of good, contemporary material out there to base short videos on. It might help raise the bar on historical accuracy for future films. 👍👍👍
