He didn't have the plans.

was destroying the Death Star's reactor part of your plan?

why not do it himself

the rebels needed an entire fleet and ground force to get them. and even then they almost failed

>Take a left turn by turbo laser turret THX1138, drop down into the trench 500 feet in front of you, ride it for about 5000 meters or so, and drop two bombs into a hole the size of a Tatooine Womp Rat, you can't miss it

So why didn't he send a copy of the plans with the message?

Why couldn't he physically go and do it himself, like walk in there

he was stationed on eadu, not scarif. if he had been on scarif, it might have been suspicious for him to try to take the plans. jyn and cassian only managed it because the attack on the base created a diversion, and because they had a capture imperial droid to help get past security. galen was also basically a prisoner

are really this stupid? In the movie is clearly pointed out that the plans are too big to being simply emailed away.

If he was the most billiant mind in the star wars universe, why did he entrust the destruction of the death star to a rabbit and its mexican?

They said it near the end the sheer amount of data was huge. All there technology and it still needed a full sized hard drive. Must have been at least several TB

he doesnt need the plans to go and sabotage it he knows the flaw

>scifi written for 12 years old

why did the wife attack the stormtroopers in the beginning?

he can't do it because he's not a strong woman

I somehow doubt a couple of screenshots of the surface of the Death Star with crudely drawn MSpaint circles and "attack here" would use that much bandwidth.
He could even include directions and such.

good point. do you mean that they should instead try to rescue him instead of capture the plans, so he can point out the flaw in person? or try to describe it in the holomessage?

That was the full technical specs of a 90km diameter sphere made of metal. They tried to be continuous with the OT in terms of display screens so it looked pretty bad in R1

You don't really need the full specs. Who gives a fuck about the location of the trash compactor or the crew's quarters when all you need to know is how to blow it up.

maybe they need actual specs for their ships' computers, guidance and targeting/weapons. too important/risky for guesswork. needs to be accurate

OF COURSE! Galen Erso refused our offer in favor of yours, we had to find out what he told you.

>THE DEATH STAR PLANS NAME A FLAW IN THE DESIGN
>FIRST ONE TO SEND IT TO THE ALLIANCE GETS TO BOARD MY AIR CRAFT

>There's a fatal flaw you can attack
>I'd sabotage it myself but living in complete luxury at the expense of the empire is too good

And yet Leia managed to fit it all in a floppy disk and shove it into R2-D2

good point. maybe they compressed the files

Galen designed the laser but not the actual death star itself. Whilst he knew about the fault, he probably didn't know exactly how it could be exploited in the finished death star, IE where the vent leading to the reactor would actually be.

shut the fuck up retard

it's obvious that its written for children

fuck off retard. leave the board if you don't like film discussion

>stupid computer animation from the 70s in black and white is too large to be emailed
lel

Mads Michaelson was in Start War?

>film discussion
>discussing a kiddie flick

heh

you're right as a design engineer i have 0 drawings of stuff i've designed or even helped design
lol

you don't really need the plans unless you are going to build your own death star. all they needed was the outline and the weakness.

that is idiotic, then each ship would need to hold specks of every other ship that they may enter combat into and modding a ship would make it invincible

the death star is not just "another ship." it's a floating fortress. a building in outer space

Those are not the plans.

im still not sure what your point is, they are not fighting the death star, especially not on auto. at most they are fighting the usual turrets but most of the fight was about clearing away other ships. also why not make 2 files, one that has the plans fully and one that just has the weakness, that way you know the weakness and still can rig up something manually if you don't have the full plans

Mads is in everything, but he'll never get a lead role because he's foreign.

if you're going to do a surgical strike on an installation of that size and complexity, you'd typically need some sort of plan or schematic of what you're attacking. having an actual technical readout would surely be a great help
>also why not make 2 files
if you mean the rebels on yavin, they might have done that. if you mean jyn and co., they obviously didn't have the time or means to extract just the data relating to the weakness

>the plans are in the file called 'Stardust', Jyn, hope that helps!

>surgical strike
you need redout on the are you are striking, as the other guy said you don't need to know where the cafeteria is and what the upper and lower parts are like

what top secret government projects have you worked on where they leave copies of plans to you?

or are you hillary?

That's only a fraction of the plans
If you've seen a new hope, it allows you to see every structural aspect of the death star.

yes, but the rebels don't know where the weakness is, and they didn't have time to find it in the scarif files. they had to take the plans as they were and analyse them later

I don't think it was as simple as taking a potshot at it with a blaster

This is why you file your plans with an agency.

Can't believe he managed to throw the title of the film into that conversation.

Why did the rebellion need to do a trench run to get to the port? Why not just use a laser guided torpedo fired from directly above the hole? or even use Y-Wings to just bombard that general area, there's a good chance one of the blasts would get through.
Also how come the torpedos fired by Luke turned 90 degrees into the hole? They couldn't have been sucked in as it was an exhaust port, if anything they would've been blown back into space.

There are two in-universe reasons:

The first is that the concentration of weaponry designed to defend from space attacks is much higher above the surface of the trench. Weapons were placed in the trench specifically to defend it, but that was only a small fraction of the Death Star's firepower (excluding the main laser cannon). Attacking from above the trench would have exposed the small fighters to a larger amount of defensive fire.

Coming to a dead stop to steady their aim in such an environment, as you suggested, would have made them literally sitting targets, and would have almost certainly resulted in near-instantaneous obliteration.

The second issue is the tractor beam. Small craft such as x-wings would likely have been easy targets for the tractor beam. They were ignored when they seemed to be providing general cover fire, and once they were inside the trench they would likely have been untargetable by the tractor beam. However, if it became clear that they were the real point of the attack, and were focused on a weakness within the Death Star, it would have taken very little effort to use the tractor beam to simply smash the Y-wing and X-wing craft against the surface of the Death Star.

Out of Universe, Lucas has stated that he was inspired by a scene from the 1964 British Film 633 Squadron, as well as the 1955 film The Dam Busters.

Hope this helps.

I wish mads was in the movie more. I lust for him.

sounds sexy

Because movies.

Isn't it because the proton torpedoes are guided, hence the use of targeting computer? Luke's was guided by the force and the sensors and shiet on the torpedoes themselves

women

You do realise plans for military projects aren't just a map of whatever it is. The Death Star plans were probably full of data about the technology used, reports and shit.
They probably grabbed the diagram off it and put it on the storage drive for R2.

So wait, were the torpedos guided or did Luke use the force to turn them 90 degrees down the hole?

Both

He actually DID tell them, the flaw was the chain reaction. They needed the plans so that they can figure out a way to detonate something inside the reactor.

It would have worked better as an Episonage Film

Did anyone else figure out the "her nick name" was the password as soon as her dad said it.
In fact the whole movie was boring and rushed, 50% of the budget was pandering and fan service.The writing was forced and the plot is barely there.
THIS MOVIE SUCKS 3/10

Because Magic Space Wizards.

Remember, Impacting on the Surface doesn't count.

totes the same kek

Nobody cares about your opinion. Go get raped by a nigger.

You seem to care. You seem to care a lot, in fact.

What, again? My butt's still sore from last time.

>send/show the plans via hologram
>four lions man doesn't make it and gets captured
>the empire watches the holo-tape
>"holy shit guys this nigga has made a fucking hole there"
>patch the hole
>death star is invincible

Holy fucking shit what a bunch of manchildren. All of the sudden it feels like i'm doing well in life.

>Star Wars is retarded
Wow thanks for the tip mate.

They are targeting torpedoes, but I believe when he turns off his targeting computer that it negates the targeting effect of the bombs. So he uses the force to turn the torpedo into the exhaust hole.

likely because they omitted all the irrelevant shit like the Death Star plumbing system and catering contract

Why not do that and send it via radio then.
The thought that they're capable of sending a live-3D transmission with perfect quality but are incapable of compressing a file enough to send it on the same channel is dumb as fuck.

Plans were too big to put into a holofile, that's why he dropped the Scarif reference as to where a physical copy could be found. Did you completely miss the part where K2 said the file was so massive it couldn't be downloaded directly, it had to be packed and shipped from a planetary-scale transmitter or else they weren't going to get it out of there? You're not going to be able to fit the entire database of the Mayo Clinic onto a 1gb thumbdrive, which is basically what Saw had.

worries of security and being traced I guess

So they're worried about sending the actual plans but they're not worried about sending a message telling their existence, the intention and plans on the rebels, and pressumedly their location and that can be traced regardless?
Sounds odd to me desu.

Yes he does because he doesn't necessarily know everything about the design, only the reactor. Compartmentalization, actual governments do it all the time. He probably didn't even know much about the exhaust port other than he made it necessary to the design and therefore must exist somewhere on the surface. Where it was could have been a mystery to him.

>The plans are too big to send in a hologram!
Literally all he had to say was "have someone shoot a missile into the core to blow the whole thing up"

dude just turn your brain off

Neither do most contractors working on government projects

You think the architect of Area 51 has a copy of the layout?

whoops, meant for this
