Tie fighters are shown to be able to hover

>Tie fighters are shown to be able to hover
>Instead of hovering in front of them and murdering them, do strafing runs at a few hundred miles an hour and miss every shot

What did JJ mean by this?

they can only hover in space

Why lie so obviously?

If they died the film would have been way too short

In vacuum? There was atmosphere where Finn and Poe stole the TIE fighter you fuck

Here's my closest guess:

The Tie Fighter didn't hover because that was too dangerous, there could be some rebels or something that will shoot it down. It couldn't risk being a static target.

Just a guess.

no, because no gravity

why didn't they just use a gatling gun

Are you retarded? Yes there absolutely was gravity.

And 100% better.

no gravity in space you fucking idiot

Star Wars ships have artificial gravity you impossible chud.

Why would lasers hitting sand cause a big fiery petrol explosion?

Because JJ is a hack and you can find 100s of other retarded things in this flick

Terrible film making. The fact that this made billions is a testament to the retardation of the average moviegoer.

Get a clue, they hovered inside a docking bay where there was artificial gravity (stormtroopers running around) and atmosphere (Poe could breathe without a helmet). So if Tatooine is no different then why did they have to do big strafing runs when it was obvious they were just after Finn and BB-8 and Rey? Dolt.

Wrong

>there's no gravity in space
American education, everyone

>No gravity in space
nigga are you retarded?

Shouldn't these ships be able to strafe? Never see them doing that in SW.

>artificial gravity is the same as normal gravity
wow

So why did the stromtroopers walk normally?

Not even him but you're either retard or excellent at bait.
A-grav has acted like normal grav in every single instance in this series and you somehow now think it doesn't because fuck it.

Why don't you just fuck off. Happy man-child you are, go over to mummy's house because that is where I will be waiting for you to suck your mum's juices off my dick.

Why the fuck do Disney shills so quickly lie about obvious elements in the movies? Literally every single ship in Star Wars can hover on a planet. That's literally how they all land and take off for example. The only time we ever see a ship not do that is in Episode 3, because it's been blown in half and is crashing.

>every ship we've seen in every movie can just take off vertically
>hurr they can only hover in space

Literally when? They always fly forward

must be dem tar sands, man

Its only movie

Anger leads to hate, user.

Millennium Falcon, ep.4.

the reason ground attack planes go fast is to avoid return fire. firing at a stationary target (hovering tie fighter) from a stationary position on the ground would end up with a dead tie fighter.

a tie fighter screaming low over the settlement, taking advantage of the buildings and grounded ships to break up LOS would b really hard to hit.

TLDR: they go fast so they don't get shot

No one takes a single shot a them the entire scene.

That makes a lot of sense, except there's nobody shooting back in this scene.

I'm 80% sure they're superheated tabanna gas or something
lasers don't move at the speed of bullets

Is the ot still canon? Why?

it's standard practice

So? The election has shown that evil people are just really dumb.

Why what? You think Disney's going to pretend the OT doesn't exist while making a bloody sequel to it and milking it for all its worth?

Mary Sue knew the perfect running pattern to evade them. Thank GOD that stupid bumbling man didn't get them killer with his buffoonery.

They won't risk a shot against the fucking empire there

The Force provided accuracy reduction aura over Rey ,..duhh

because they are zooming fast so why bother shooting at them

just turn your brain on bro
