Star Wars Propaganda

[tokyo]

Выдали первых четыре странички книжки Star Wars Propaganda. Выглядит очень миленько, но а) я рассчитывала на артбук, а тут прям книжка с текстом, б) зажопились рисовать новые арты, минимум два постера с этих страниц есть в книге Imperial Handbook, которой всего пара лет. Фу такими быть, Дисней, могли бы и новых плакатов нарисовать!

Кто-нить может разобрать, что пишут?

шрифт жутко мелкий. я лично вообще только заголовки вижу. Остальное сливается даже при увеличении картинки

Count Dooku's words of inflammatory rhetoric found a receptive audience among the young intellectuals of Inner and Mid Rim univercities.

В общем,разбирать удается, но с трудом

зажопились рисовать новые арты

А я с анонса так и поняла, что это будет просто каталог уже существующих постеров, а не что-то новое.


текст разобрать более-менее можно, дай мне несколько часов на дешифровку))

tokyo, это нечто вроде краткой истории пропагандисткого направления в политике и войне.

Первая страничка. Вопросики около слов которые я так и не разобрала и догадывалась больше по контексту и разобранным отдельным буквам.

Count Dooky: Words of Truth
Ansibella Delu

Count Dooku's words of inflammatory rhetoric found a receptive audience among the young intellectuals of Inner and Mid Rim universities. The charismatic separatist and former Jedi used his stentorious(?) tones(?) and decades of experience operating within corridors of Galactic Republic to damn the government for its hypocrisies, corruption, and ineffectiveness. Dooku exuded confidence and authority, but expounded a message of rebellion that mesmerized young psyches and spurred them to action.

As the Separatist crisis grew more and more heated, with incidents of violence occurring sporadically on the more polarized worlds, Dooku's appearances grew rarer and came together with much shortier notice. This rare specimen of work-in-progress poster by Ansibella Delu during her university years survived the loyalty purges enacted(?) by Imperial Security Bureau following the conclusion of the Clone Wars.

2000 senators
Kas unloDos

Mid Rim worlds were hotbeds of secessionist talk during the Separatist crisis that precipitated the conflagration of Clone Wars. The so-called jumpover sectors of the Republic lacked the political pull of the central systems or the economic exploitation opportunities of that lay in the Outer Rim. On the fertile plains of Ukio, Count Dooku's fiery separatist rhetoric found purchase. The agrarian world began to question what value was reciprocated for being the breadbasked of the Core Worlds. After citing a litany of neglect from(?) Coruscant, the senatorial representatives of the Abrion sector(which included Ukio) tendered their articles of secession. A Ukian artist, Kas unloDos, captured the sentiment common among her people – that the republic was distant, dispassionate, and not worth the membership.

Третья страница (на второй все читается и так)

Strength & obedience
Resinu Santhe-Caltra

Kuat Drive Yards reaped enormous profits by becoming prominent(?) shipbuilders of the Imperial Navy. The collusion of industry and military power led to the dagger-shaped capital ships of the Empire becoming the very symbol of galactic might. The admiralty of the Empire pushed this agenda, much to the chagrin of Imperial Starfighter Corp. Historians(?) believe the flaws inherent in the TIE designs were allowed to remain in order to keep the fighter-craft dependent on the capital-scale carrier ships, lest the Star Destroyed lose its position as the symbolic spearpoint of the Empire.

Nothing beats an academy education
Artist Unknown

The rise of Imperial war machine saw a great transformation and homogenization of regional military training institutions. In the time of the Republic there was no unified military protecting the galaxy. Instead, systems, sectors, and regions protected their own interests by training soldiers to be local defenders at academies of varied scope steeped in traditions. When the Imperial armed forces shifted from, clone-based personnel to volunteer citizens, regional governors revamped historic academies implementing rigidly standardized programs. Gone were the flags, braids, baldrics, swords, and other regalia of tradition. They were replaced with uniform look embodied by stormtroopers.

И последняя страничка! Оффтопом приписаны подписи к картинкам, так как они идут несколько отдельно от остального текста.

Хочу обратить ваше внимание на новый факт, что Новый Порядок по началу был частью Новой Республики, и только потом откололся. Мелочь, а прикольно!

А еще я рада, что в статейке есть референс на мобильную игру, в которую я сейчас задрачиваюсь)) Вот этот Governor Adelhard of Anoat sector!

An order resurgent

The thousand-year regime did not outlive its founder. The death of Palpatine at the Battle of Endor threw Galactic Empire in the tumult, as the autocracy did not have ironclad instructions of succession in the event of such disaster. Ambitious members of the imperial council attempted to grab onto their fiefdoms of power, while distant governors and Imperial military leaders seized what territories they could. Other loyalists tried to uphold Palpatine's vision and considered such power grabs treasonous. Still more Imperials were relieved to be free of their sovereign and sued for peace with the victorious Alliance at the earliest opportunity.

This was a time of chaos. The Empire's expansion stalled, and its aggression turned inwards. Governors used their propaganda apparatus to spread tailored messages, which in aggregate were contradictory and bewildering mess. Some, like Governor Adelhard of Anoat sector, insisted that the Emperor lived on and that the Rebellion was spreading lies. Others downplayed the threat of newly emergent New Republic or refused to name it as such to avoid giving the victory any legitimacy(?). Some ramped up fear by describing New Republic as monstrous terrorists, swallowing former Imperial worlds with their anarchy.

For the New Republic, it was crucial time to avoid missteps. Mon Mothma insisted on absolute clarity of message – although she held position of Chancellor, she made clear it was provisional. The new version of Republic would undo the overreach of Palpatine and would be a government that was reflective of its members. The communication bureaus of the nascent Republic worked around the chrono to craft inspirational messages of invitation. Mothma aspired to host a galactic Congress on Chandrila where worlds would vote on how the New Republic would be structured. The messages of rebirth, empowerment, and self-determination were strong – calculated to win back the former Separatist worlds that had no interest in the last Republic, let alone a new one.

/Upon its emergence, the first Order deliberately invoked imagery unseen for a generation. The skull-like monochromatic visage of the stormtrooper – a clear evolution of an imperial design – figured prominently./

/The scope and scale of the First Order military operation came as a shock to a complacent New Republic. What were first thought to be local defenses and ceremonial forces provided to be just the tip of the larger invasion force./

The Galactic Concordance, the peace treaty that brought an end to hostility, was at last signed after the last remnants of the Imperial fleet vanished following the battle of Jakku. Former Imperial governors were invited to the New Republic, though many of them bore the weight of crushing reparations.

Once the dust of Galactic Civil War settled, the New Republic was the fraction of the size of the Empire and Republic that preceded it. Its size was dictated by egalitarian process that created it. Many systems opted out of galactic representation, but remained on friendly terms with galactic government. A Galactic Senate would convene on the capital – a capital that would have no fixed location and would travel to different worlds determined by election.

Over time former imperials reunited as the First order and coolly inhabited a wing of Republic politics until tensions reached a breaking point. The New Order seceded from New Republic, a move that was welcomed by many in the galactic capital. But others realized that without Republic oversight, the First Order would return to the Empire's draconian ways and ambitious expansion. To counter this specific concern, Leia Organa of Alderaan founded the Resistance, a paramilitary group that probed the neutral space separating the First Order and the Republic for signs of treaty violations.

It was the age of interstellar tensions, of opaque political borders that fostered intrigue and suspicion. The New Republic obsessed over maintaining peace with a light hand, so as not to repeat the errors of the Empire. As part of the provisions of the Galactic Concordance, the New Republic instituted a drastic demilitarization meant to strip the galaxy of any single force capable of vast conquest. New Republic politicians assumed the defeated Imperials would honor the treaty, and in fairness to their naivete, the hunger for peace was palpable across the galaxy. The Resistance tried to warn the Republic that the cost of peace was vigilance, although General Organa was subjected to accusations of fearmongering and saber rattling.

When the First Order's true agenda was exposed in the mos specular and horrific display of war technology known to history, these arguments evaporated as quickly as worlds of Hosnian system. The Republic was burned away in minutes, the result of long-term plotting on the part of the First Order. The miniscule Resistance immediately became the galaxy's only hope. And emerging from the depth of hidden space, the First Order appeared as a fully mechanized military threat.

Once again, war engulfed the galaxy. Once again, the candle of hope guttered in the winds of troop movements. Once again artists took up their tools to do their part in the next great war.


Отвлеченно - мне очень нравится язык этой книги, такой напыщеный и исторически-формальный, будто это какой-то "одобренный партией" учебник)) Интересно, они специально или случайно так вышло, что книжка про пропаганду написана языком пропаганды?

[tokyo]

Pani Mauser, какая ты молодец! Спасибо!!!

Язык такой напыщенный специально, очень многие книжки написаны от лица персонажа или организации. Это всегда очень клево, хотя временами занудно (скажем, на том же Imperial Handbook я сломалась, не вынеся пафоса превозмогания). Ну и в пропаганду все любят )

А я с анонса так и поняла, что это будет просто каталог уже существующих постеров, а не что-то новое

Выпускали бы тогда глянцевый артбук с антологией плакатов

[agent of Circus]

tokyo, оно 2 кило весит...

[tokyo]

agent of Circus, ЗВшная энциклопедия весит все шесть ))

Она большая по размеру? В смысле, не по страницам, по длине-высоте? Как обычная книжка или больше?

[Pani Mauser]

tokyo, это альбомный формат. Линейки под рукой нет, вот ручка для масштаба.



Книжка запакована в картонный "конверт". Сама она черная, с серебряными лого империи и республики(республика впереди, империя сзади), на обоих "корочках" приклеены конверты, в которых лежат постеры. Очень эпичное по всем параметрам издание. У ДК все книги хорошие по качеству, но эта явно как display piece делалась.

Pani Mauser, *роняет слюну*

Мне гадский Амазон до сих пор ничего не прислал!

[Pani Mauser]

tokyo, авввв(((
