re: #452 Dr Lizardo

1972’s Silent Running probably gave Lucas some inspiration for that look. I appreciated that in Star Wars as well - it showed us a “lived-in” universe and came across as more authentic and realistic. And as I got older, I came to appreciate that the original trilogy starts in media res.

I dearly loved how Rouge One had the brass ones to slot straight into that beginning with them holding off Vader and the rest of the Empire just long enough to set that up.
