And don't skimp on the aliens.
The novel mentions them in passing. Doesn't really even describe them! Starbuck and Boomer arrive at the hedonistic resort and, oh, look, every alien known to man.
:sigh:
I know some can't help but draw parallels to the cantina scene in Star Wars for the casino scene on Carillon but, I hate to bruise Star Wars fanbois egos, the space bar full of aliens is a classic cliché of the genre. Even Babylon 5 did it, and with modern FX and prosthetics it looked great. (And that was back in the 90s!) Can you imagine what could be done with Carillon
now?
I'd hire strippers as extras.
What?
