Yes, you actually have one there Roboter von Boston Dynamics in Star Wars seen. And yes, that came as a surprise to many who Reallife Robot to “spot” in the second real film series of the star franchise. Because although they nestle wonderfully into the aesthetics of Star Wars, they are now piling up Complaints regarding an immersion break.
You have to love droids!
Star Wars is generally known as a supplier of motley ideas when it comes to Droids and their designs goes. The most famous droids are C-3PO and R2D2which have made a good figure on the big screen since their first appearance in 1977.
And even the popular one BB-8 from the sequel trilogy of the Skywalker saga was given an imaginative design that works wonderfully as a construction for the films.
These were mostly from real people depicted who have hatched into the skin of the droids, or they were through practical effects brought to life. BB-8, for example, is mechanical, completely controllable and only controlled remotely.
So the droids might finally be breathed real life, they became believable characters and we as spectators might once more take them to our hearts. The creative people have always done a wonderful job.
Roboter von Boston Dynamics in Star Wars
But in “The Book of Boba Fett” the creators go a completely new way, because that first time finds a working one Real world robots its way into the star universe of Lucasfilm.
On the streets of Mos Espa Boba Fett runs in The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 1 past a group of robots, all of which have four legs and look quite remarkable. These are the said robots that also exist in the real world.
Boston Dynamics has now officially confirmed via Twitter that it is their in-house robot that is now one found another location would have.
These robots were developed in such a way that, in terms of design, they are reminiscent of a dog. At Boston Dynamics this robot has the affectionate name Spot. You may have seen him in a video before, because there are basically several virale Hits with spot.
One of the reasons the Boston Dynmics robot is so remarkable is that it can move cargo, pass obstacles and even dance. That means he can do tasks that are relatively complex thanks to artificial intelligence. His arm, with which he can even open doors, seems a little creepy.
He is therefore already in different areas its use such as exploration, production or even in hospitals.
But that frightens many viewers now from. While some find it remarkable that our robots have become so complex that they now fit into the star franchise, others speak of one clear Immersionsbruch. It just tears her out of the sci-fi fantasy because of the bond with the real thing.
But what do you think? Do you think it’s cool that Boston Dynamics and Disney are doing this together? Or do you take the side of the skeptics?
