     “I wanted a hospital room that was octagonal,” Lawrence Paull says, “one with drawers containing patients that could be slid out of the walls like coffins. Syd originally did a sketch of this, but Ridley and I decided that what he had done was too slick and Star Wars-y.”

     When you’ve got a bet secured, clear your throat and loudly ask to no one in particular, “So uh, what makes something look Star Wars-y?” Pencils will drop. Pencils will drop. Opinions will be expressed about pill lights and coffin-shaped doors, gack lines and kitbashing, World War II and Flash Gordon, and then someone who worked on the prequels might say something about domes, and a chorus will rise in response and the game will be on. […] The only real answer (besides “Ralph McQuarrie”) is that something feels Star Wars-y because it feels Star Wars-y. It’s something elusive that everyone has their own instinct for, and when you find designers whose instinct lines up with yours, you latch on and don’t let go.

     The joke has worn thin in the intervening 14 years, and this incomprehensible odyssey to find Poseidon’s mythical trident and break “all the curses of the sea” is little more than a hodgepodge of poorly penned quippery attached to a pair of hoary Star Wars-y subplots involving pirates and their long-separated offspring.
