The page said something about Star Wars. I saw a lot of Star Trek, but I recognized nothing from Star Wars. I should know, my fan score is 180. http://www.nerdtests.com/mq/uttake.php?id=19889

They made a lot of mistakes. One of the "combat craft" was a Star Destroyer, but it was called a "Space Cruiser." They called Vader's TIE fighter the "Racing Falcon", which means (I'm guessing) that they thought it was the Millennium Falcon. They misidentified an X-Wing as a "Yavin Interceptor" and called the Death Star a "space colony." How could they not know the Death Star is a superweapon, not a colony?!

TheBlackHole,you are right. Don't take it personal but after 30 years with star wars everywere i don't care. İ don't know how old you are i am 47. And i can not see the nice side of star wars anymore...only the bad sides.And there are many.İn fact the good sides are fewer.
But as i said don't take it personal.İf i would take such kind of test that you take in the 80's I think my would be 500 or more.İ was a fanatic (not fan :) ) of Star Wars.
Cheers.

180 is the highest score you can get on the quiz.
Pipe down, fan boy. Let the Wookiee win.
I can do the best wookiee noise its all to do with vibrating your tongue lol!
I love the images in the link Kadri posted I always love 80;s scifi art because they use less vivid tones (more pastel colours) then the use in todays scifi art
I do it through the back of my mouth.

I know. I should put an ! there. İt was sarcassm. But not on you. İt was on my obsession on Star Wars at the 80's .
50...100...150...İ don't know how much i have seen the episode 4 (it was of course 1 then). 2 hours x 50 (minimum)....sickly ?...stupidly?...you name it...And if you think that there are so many more better films out there...
Anyway :D
Edit: Wetbanana i have a A3 print of your Umek picture (But from my own printer :) ). I love it.İ think it reminds me of these pictures.Maybe i am not an Star Wars fan anymore but i like science fiction.
Kadri.
star wars is stupid i don't really like it much i find it really dumb.
I like realistic scifi like actual physically possible such as the alien saga (not the shitty avp remakes)
hey thats cool im glad you liked the umek render^^
Yes The Alien saga is good.And then comes the debatte about Alien 3 and 4 ;D
Wetbanana i don't know what your current position is...but your pictures have already a "Wetbanana" kind of signature,especially your colours.
Kadri.
No position Yet:( I wish I could get a job somewhere where I could unleash my scifi creativity because I just love that style of art.
yup That is one of my trademarks my colours ;D
that sci-fi artwork on blogspot was amazing, makes me wish i could paint that well.
I first saw aliens when i was when i was 11 or 12 years old, scared the hell out of me, but now the aliens saga is one of my favorite movie series. ;)
Wow what an impressive amount of sci-fi art all in one place. :)
I would have to say that John Berkey's art has allways been my favorite,
I got a copy of "The Universe" when i was a child And it was full of his art.
Alien saga...İ like all of them. Many don't like the 3'rd. But as we saw it with my friend, who does not like sci-fi, we immidiately thought this director is very good(people like or don't like it usually). Aliens is in my opinium only kind of a reboot.Same story but different people, marines more aliens and such. 1 and 3 (in spite of its flaws) are maybe better then 2. But Aliens has such a kind of repeat viewing quality many prefer it. Me included. İ can see it again whenever i will... not so the others :)
İ think you have it. But if not please have a look at the Alien Quadrilogy 9 DVD set. There are special editions in there.
"Most interesting is the alternative Alien 3 (1992). This isn't a "director's cut"--David Fincher refused to have any involvement with this release--but a 1991 work-print that runs 29 minutes longer than the theatrical version, and has now been restored, remastered, and finished off with (unfortunately) cheap new CGI. Still, it's truly fascinating, offering a different insight into a flawed masterpiece. " from Amazon (no i don't get commission :D )
Cheers.
