“During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the Darth Star, an armoured space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.”
Let the memory of the evening be the first thing that you think of when you open up your smile and see me, Darth Star.

I learned something today 🤔
Sere12025-10-22 06:12
And learning is half the battle! But yeah, it's a long standing tradition with artists and model makers. Make a bunch of tiny details to help the scale of your ship/character/thing feel more apparent. Changing the size of said details helps the thing feel different sizes. Good example, go look at some Star Trek TNG ships and pay attention to how large the windows are. Something like the Galaxy-class has loads of tiny windows to make the ship feel massive. Something like the Challenger class, despite using the same saucer model as the Galaxy, has the windows be much larger which makes you feel the ship is smaller with the assumption that they're the same size windows on both ships, just seen on different scales. Other good examples would be looking at the Gundam franchise. In a simplistic art style such as the original show from the 70s, the panels of the Gundam are drawn as being flat and basic to save on time. As budgets and tech got better in later shows, more and more detail went into the designs, adding little panels or warning labels. The exact same Gundam done in a newer show will have *tons* of little details added in that the original show with the same suit didn't have. Just little panels and lights and detailing to give it a more appropriate scale for the amount of detail you're expecting it to have in a certain level of realism.

"The term "greeblies" was coined by George Lucas in the 1970s to describe details on model ships used in the production of Star Wars.[1] Ron Thornton is credited with coining the term "nurnies" to refer to CGI technical detail that his company Foundation Imaging produced for the Babylon 5 series,[2] while the model-making team of 2001: A Space Odyssey referred to them as "wiggets".[4]"
There's no way these guys didn't just grow up reading Dr. Seuss together or some shit

The only pity is that Galactus as a character is a failure. We don't get to see his backstory or his suffering (although it's voiced here), and he wins very stupidly.
SuicideSkwad2025-10-21 20:02
This is such an amazing shot. He’s all alone, empty space, nothing to compare him to - and still he looks so huge. If any movie ever deserved an Oscar for CGI, this movie does.

I wish I could relive that experience in the theater watching him for the first time after all the marketing really hid him well.

Tipop2025-10-21 21:01
What’s worse is that if they filled in his backstory it would have made him more nuanced. He’s not just eating planets because he’s starving — he’s doing it to store up all that life energy so that in a few trillion years when our universe collapses, he can birth the next one full of the life energy he absorbed. He’s the universe’s way of keeping the flame of conscious life going.
Taken that way, he’s not nearly as evil as he appears at first glance. He’s still something you want to fight off, but he’s more of a shade of gray rather than pure black.
FX1142025-10-21 21:20
That backstory varies dramatically depending on the incarnation.
YodasChick-O-Stick2025-10-21 20:49
And then they just CGI'd over it to make him a Zack Snyder villain
Haunting-Quail-21982025-10-22 07:52

dzan796ero2025-10-22 14:29
He was created by Dark Vader
tehCharo2025-10-21 22:37
The thing about Galatcus is that this isn't his actual form, he changes appearance based on what alien species is viewing him, so if he were to attack a Skrull world, he would look like a giant Skrull.
Do you think that’s a plot point that’s likely to be visited in the MCU? I think a characteristic like that is unlikely to be portrayed in a live action setting- where it may be more interesting/achievable in a comic book context. Just hypothesizing on why you received downvotes =\
tehCharo2025-10-22 06:24
Who knows? I doubt we'll see him again any time soon.

I do wish he as a bit more bright purple to match the retro future aesthetic of the rest of the fantastic four universe.
CmdrCloud2025-10-22 13:12
I agree. When I saw his dark, giant CGI form in a dark, giant CGI ship I started having PTSD but thankfully they brought him out into the daylight. But I also love the tiny lights all over his armor, it’s like staring into star field. Really cool
AmazingLaughsAndMORE2025-10-22 14:42
Isn’t a good chunk of his shots practical? Like a lot of his closeup and waist up shots? Correct me if I’m wrong.
CmdrCloud2025-10-22 16:34
Yeah, by far! I just saw the behind the scenes stuff for the movie, the suit is phenomenal.
What I meant is that seeing it made me think back to other movies’ over-reliance on CG characters and environments and the dim lighting that tries to mask it. Like the final fight in Black Panther, or much of Love & Thunder, or Quantumania. Even the end of Endgame. Too much CGI just takes me out of it; you know what you’re seeing isn’t there, you’re just watching a mass of dark pixels swirling around.
Again, not saying this is what Galactus was. Just that the scene in his ship made me *think* of it.

Yeah they used old tried and true model making techniques to reinforce scale. Covering him in fine detail makes our brains see him as huge
