Best SW movie since ESB.

That's not RotS.

fpbp

Bunnyfu

Nothing worries me more than the fact that some people actually believe this.

kino

A really shit movie that I'll never understand why it got such high praise.

what is wrong with this?

>tiny ship is able to provide more acceleration than the ship that has engines about 50 times the size

This bugged the hell out of me. As soon as they spotted the ship moving towards them they would have easily been able to move out the way.

A non-organic lifeform being forced to nobly sacrifice itself for its humanoid captors.

>the ship that has engines about 50 times the size
otS then.
And all of them are disabled at the moment.

its chappie

There isnt any gravitation force though, so that wouldnt be a problem.

A star wars movie that actually managed to be worse than the rip-off that was the force awakens

I thought they made it obvious that they had lost power in the previous scene with the Y-wing attack

shut the fuck up retard

The ship it crashed into was fully functional, would have had a long time to take evasive action.

It would have taken several minutes of thrust to to move the star destroyer that fast. My guess is that the impact is 100mph+ given the scales involved.

>My guess is that the impact is 100mph+ given the scales involved
you're literally retarded

Think of a normal tugboat towing a huge aircraft carrier. Now make the aircraft carrier 10 times the size whilst keeping the tugboat the same size.

That's the kind of acceleration you'd expect

i too like to argue about physical accuracy of a space fantasy movie to get maximum entertainment

There is still a gratvational force from a terminal point on water though where as space is competely still

More like
>tiny ship proves acceleration in direction perpendicular to the big ships
They wouldn't "cancel out" or whatever the fuck you think would happen

>None of this canonically matters in any way shape of form: the movie

what the fuck are you talking about did you fail third grade physics or something you moron? things don't just float in space.

>t. virgin nigger who has a comicbook mentality

epic

t. brainlet

In about 4 seconds it gets 1/3rd the width of a star destroyer. A star destroyer is 900m wide, That's around 160mph average speed (its final speed is likely even higher than that).

In the video it takes 12 seconds of full thrust to get to that speed.

That level of acceleration gives a g-force of just under 6gs which is comical.

>in b4 autism

An utterly forgettable movie. Though, the last twenty minutes are worth watching if you're going to watch Star Wars. And you might think,
>wow, these characters seem interesting, i should watch the rest of this movie to find out more about these interesting characters and their incredible adventures
but you would be wrong. The characters and their stories are all boring as fuck. Robot has good quips,
though.

except they do, you retard.also why do you think third grade physics apply to space physics?

you're a hard man to find, for me

>i'm only pretending to be retarded
you have to go back

>leans into mic
wrong

lol what the fuck

Having an extended universe spinoff to try and fill in blanks IS comic book mentality. We are just getting actual movies out of this shit now.

okay nice argument

Vader?

In a universe where light-speed travel is a thing, 6 gs isn't that ridiculous. What's more ridiculous is the star destroyer's apparent center of mass.

>these little things were the biggest ships in kotor

argument against what? you're just acting retarded thinking it's funny. there's nothing for me to argue against.
>why do you think third grade physics apply to space physics
please, go back to plebbit

Reddit """""""nerd""""""" pandering: the movie

>dude I remember that blue milk xD
>dude I remember those guys from the original xD
>le every character dies in the end because all of these guys were made up to make this shit flick and weren't in the originals
>le beach romance while we die

kill yourselves

You're misremembering kotor.

maybe it is you who should go back

Without gravity and friction, it doesn't take much effort

160 mph average speed = 320 mph final = 143 m/s = 1.2g over 12 seconds
if you're going to maake up numbers, at least do the calculations right.

>Things just float in space
fun fact: astronauts in the ISS experience about 90% of earth's gravity relative to you or me on the surface. They stay in orbit because they are moving so fast that instead of dropping onto earth they fall around it. Orbit!

are you retarded or are you gay?

There's no sound in space either, these movies are for fucking children, how many times does it have to be said.

>space physics

Except the ships in the movie dont stand in the orbit what is your point again?

The acceleration by itself isn't that bad, it's the sheer energy and forces involved in something that size that are insane. Something that weighs orders of magnitude more than the largest building on earth accelerating at about 50% the rate of a missile

Why even put fuck off huge engines on the back when that tiny ramming ship provides more acceleration than a star destroyer has ever been shown to have?

its was retarded but pretty cool

>a different phenomenon is same as basic fundamentals of physics

>everybody dies at the end
>not a single death makes you feel anything

This movie hurts me on so many levels.

>the basic fundamentals of gravity change when you go to space

they do

>(bad guys) group of armored soldiers escorting a tank through an ancient city on a desert planet
>(good guys) band of towelheads with rpgs ambush them, kill them all, and destroy the tank

What did they mean by this?

Some souls "MEMBER THIS" cashgrab garbage that has no point in existing at all except to make money

I'm just saying that the idea that things simply 'float' in space is completely fucking wrong and whoever that user is that said it should be ashamed and commit suicide.

If I were to play devils advocate for you retards and side with the douche who cares about space physics I'd say that any anti-grav devices that exist in star wars capable of completely nullifying the effects of gravity on a fucking star destroyer would be plenty to negate the additional forces attributed by that dinky little tugboat.

To be fair they were portrayed as crazy fanatics. And all died in the end.

lol no they don't
>what is universal gravitation?

kill yourself my nigger

>If I were to play devils advocate for you retards
>proceeds to make a terrible argument
the sweet irony.
An anti-gravity device isn't something that simply creates a force to counteract gravity. Then it'd just be a fucking rocket/thruster retard.

>more acceleration than a star destroyer has ever been shown to have?

They were able to chase Millennium Falcon in Empire you ape.

Watch that scene where two are forced to evade each other and show almost fighter like agility.

You are looking for plot holes where there aren't any you autist.

>"That Star Destroyer is disabled!"
Really activates the almonds huh

You and other people like you are the reason why original Blade Runner had narration.

hammerhead corvettes are the biggest regular ships in the old republic era

>things just move in space when there isnt a nearby gravitational force around them

It's not the same ship. Civil War happens thousands of years later. They just look similar.

Yep. That's Newton's 1st law.

You sure?

>hammerhead corvette

The KOTOR reference made my nads tingle

>swtor

Thought I was the only one.

>my point
>your head
They are obviously not orbiting the planet as they are staying over the same location the entire scene. They are not engaging thrusters to stay aloft from what I can see and those would've turned off anyways when the emp shit hit it. So I'm taking for granted that there is some never shown universal Star Wars anti-gravity device that works without power on board the Star Destroyer. If there wasn't then the star destroyer would immediately begin plummeting into the planet after it's power is turned off but it takes itty-bitty boat to do the plummeting work.

Therefor I suggest that whatever anti-gravity fuckery is going on is considerably more powerful than that itty-bitty boat could overcome. Considering that the massive ship is able to combat the gravity of practically anything it is floating above, that little ship is a drop in the bucket of forces in play on that star destroyer.

>what is angular momentum

All they needed was a 'LET'S TEAM UP' moment and have 2-5 of these ships crash into the side of the star destroyer to give this thing more credibility

more credibility for retards*

The people that don't get this scene are actual brainlets

a good movie that retards can't appreciate

>stand in the orbit

american education

You have to go back

>They are obviously not orbiting the planet as they are staying over the same location the entire scene.
what is geostationary orbit?
>So I'm taking for granted that there is some never shown universal Star Wars anti-gravity device
>I suggest that whatever anti-gravity fuckery is going on is considerably more powerful than that itty-bitty boat could overcome
and like I said, an anti-gravity device is not a fucking rocket or thruster. It doesn't counteract gravity by simply applying an opposing force otherwise anything could be called an anti gravity device. Say that the device worked by repelling gravitons or a gravitation field, it would have no effect on cancelling out the force applied by the little ship's thrusters.

What is 'Suspension of Disbelief' for 500 Alex

>whilst

Damn

>what is geostationary orbit
Yes. Tell me what you think a geostationary orbit is? How far away do you need to be to achieve that? How far away were they in that scene? How many times did you get dropped on the fucking head?

It's a movie that was made specifically to take Star Wars nerds money

The dubs speak the truth.

I used to agree until I rewatched it last weekend

Why didn't they just stun Jeyn's mom? Weren't they planning on holding her as a hostage to keep Gaelen in line?

The second best SW movie.

I decent action flick that really needed more time to develop its characters.

Also K-2SO has the best droid design from the new Star Wars stuff so far.

>How far away do you need to be to achieve that?
what the fuck are you talking about? it can be achieved at any distance. For satellites that are only powered by the earth's gravitational force and solar panels, it is about 22,000 miles which looks like
dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3450015/The-best-portrait-Earth-taken-Stunning-satellite-image-shows-planet-looks-like-22-000-miles-away.html
and is not very different from what is shown.

way to completely ignore any arguments on the main point and try to sidetrack the argument after getting completely btfo btw. That was just a side comment, the main point was that your idea that an anti-gravity device should counter act the ship. Even in the side argument, though, you're still clearly wrong. How can one person be this retarded?

that's precisely NOT how GS orbit works

If someone doesn't rank it in their top three, they are contrarian retards, and their opinions should be thrown in the trash
