Poor Image: Escape Pod

I have no idea what that's supposed to be a picture of. It doesn't even look like a pod of any sort. I tried looking up images on Google to see if I could find a good picture of a pod being launched from an exploding ship or something, but I couldn't find anything good. Are there any suggestions of works we could try to get screencaps from?

Agreed, I have no idea what that's supposed to be. Here's some pics of the escape pods from the Enterprise-E: (see post 11)

Concept sketch◊ for the escape pod in Alien.

Bump. Other thoughts or suggestions?

The current image is the Spaceballs parody of the pod launching at the beginning of A New Hope. Thanks to 1977 special effects, there aren't any exterior shots of the pod leaving the ship, but here's some artwork◊.

The only other Star Wars movie with an escape pod launching sequence is Revenge of the Sith, but without actually looking, I suspect that any screenshots from there wouldn't show the pods clearly enough.

If there's a larger image of 2.3, perhaps?

The un-shrunk Wikia page.◊

Damn, all three of my suggestions have been bitten by the Wikia preview bug...they're much bigger than they look now.

11.2 is the best option seen so far.

I like 11.2.

Crowner?

Crowner.

Friday votes bump; two in the green.

This one's ready to call. The new pic's up and tagged and the others have been put on an Image Links page. I've put up an explanatory caption; anything beyond that?

That's fine.

Nothing needs to be added.

Looks fine as is.

Good enough; locking up.
