Wait, why wasn't the chair hologram too? Wouldn't that make more sense? I imagine it took a bit of time to calibrate it properly so he was exactly in the right position it looks like he's naturally sitting on the chair. Must have taken time on both ends. Lots of rearranging and going back and forth until it's exactly right. Could have just made the whole chair hologram and avoided the issue entirely. You'd think a civilization advanced enough to build a literal floating city in the sky and a blade runner high-concept scifi city with hundreds of thousands of flying cars and no car crashes would be able to figure this out.

dude lets NITPICK absolutely everything that lucas tries to do no matter how hard I try lmao

he raises a valid point

Or he just had two of those chairs, one on Coruscant and one on Kashyyyk.

It's a midichlorian chair.

what if he reclines back? do his feet just stick out at a straight angle?

that's his chair though.

It was a good friend.

The chair is the hologram projector.

Why are their holograms so resolution? They have flying cars but they can't get a hologram in color and higher than fucking 320p

The chair is a more detailed hologram that traces the location of the sitting man hologram

To avoid communications disruptions

Why? Sometimes he's there and sometimes he's not. They're not always holograms.

Why is everything in the Star Wars universe so fucking stupid?

what's interesting is they can broadcast live holograms to places thousands of lightyears away

But what about the droid attack on the wookies?

i can just see a shitty article now on wookipedia, "Hologram Projectors: Hologram Projectors were purposefully shit quality by law to avoid uncanny valley effects, and avoid unlawful impersonation and fully hd 3d porn, see article: Breasts"

I guess that when the guy is in Corsican he sits in this chair

So, why does he look around the room like he's actually there? It would make more sense if he just stared straight ahead but he interacts like he's actually in the room.

Is he sitting in a room full of holograms of everyone else? Are their chairs arranged exactly how they would be in the room they're actually in? Does that take time to calibrate? Or is he wearing some sort of VR headset that projects the room they're in? That's a lot of effort to just look at somebody when they talk. Maybe they should have just gotten him on Skype or something..

>implying that isn't a mastered force ghost

Why does the force ghost have scanlines?

A droid attack on the Wookies can mean only one thing

because thats what we imagine holograms to look like

>exactly right

Motherfucker can't even see the clipping. Do you even video games?

What issue? The hologram is apparantly easy to install and run. Otherwise they would've made the chair a hologram as well.
You're thinking about this from the wrong angle.


>You'd think a civilization advanced enough to build a literal floating city in the sky and a blade runner high-concept scifi city with hundreds of thousands of flying cars and no car crashes would be able to figure this out.

They did.

Do you see where i'm getting at?
Apparantly it's no big deal for them. Could be a feature they can install in their space skype with a click of a button. They've got spacecars and lightsabers. How is it that you think this would take much effort?

>I imagine it took a bit of time to calibrate it properly
Sure, but less time than moving those heavy ass chairs out of the way every time someone goes on a business trip.

This would be believable if the hologram itself was high quality. But it's not, it's pretty shitty. If they can do all that, why does the hologram have scan lines still?

Why didn't dickhead go to the droid attack on the wookies instead of sending yoda?

Midochlorians are biomechanical after all

One part of the hologram is shitty. So it must all be shitty?

"If the hologram has scan lines, why is there still good audio when he speaks? It should have no audio or really bad audio."

It's a software / hardware combination. There could be a million reasons why one feature would work, and others not so.

And don't forget, as one user here pointed out. They could be transmitting this live from multiple lightyears away.

Spooky action at a distance type level quantum physicals types magic I guess, I don't know.

Considering they're used to transmit image from multiple star systems away, the quality is amazingly good.

Too much momentum to change out every hologram and every device that allows for FTL communication.

Sometimes he's there in person and those chairs are built ins.

Thought it was funny

>obsessed about Wookies
>goes to Mygeeto

Probably because he's broadcasting from halfway across the galaxy.

Also, the implication in the prequels seems to be that holograms generate a 3D image regardless of how the person is being recorded (pic related: Commander Cody is holding the projector in his hand). Therefore, we can assume that they're able to make minor tweaks to fit into things like chairs without the person on the other end being in the same position.

underrated

kek

i love wookieepedia but sometimes it's too autstic even for me. and yes, op does raise a valid point

Redpill me on those sleeves.

All of these problems could be simply and easily avoided by just making the fucking chair part of the hologram

Or simply believing that a vastly superior technology has figured out how to hologram someone in a chair. It's not that hard.

Not vastly superior enough to get a hologram in color.

Same argument again:
"If some aspect of a thing is bad, it should all be bad."

It's the same as a good car where the transmission would sometimes break. It takes different machinery to make one big machine.
Same goes for the hologram. Every aspect could work on different levels. And have different results at different times.

The Jedi were early adopters. By the time of TFA the galaxy was using 4k holograms.

The jedi console consisted mainly of college dropouts, they wouldn't be able to figure shit like that out

So what about that attack on Kashyyk?

There is probably a universal standard for holograph chairs/tables/etc that they all agree to

there's a genetically modified bantha tit in the middle of the chair that sprays a modulated hologram of blue milk to fit the chair

Long distance communication in star wars uses subspace as a means to transmit data basically instantly

The jedi console was pretty impressive, but let's be honest, they can't hold a candle to the console of rome

The question is, what was everyone else to the jedi. I mean, were there holograms of Yoda and Obi wherever he was? Was he in a hotel room or something?

Its a light bee hologram not projected hologram
