WITHOUT FUEL THEY WERE NOTHING

Since when do space Capital ships require fucking "fuel" to travel?

Haven't they at least discovered nuclear fission in the galaxy far are away?

Swear to god, this is the most retarded shit ever.

You never heard of space patrol

Die cis Nazi scum!

Why are there no space gas stations?

it's star wars, it's not supposed to make scientific sense.
you just handwave the technical stuff so the story works.
for example the rules as to how FTL travel works seem to be very flexible.

How would Fission make a ship move in space?

Good thing The First Order had more space fuel than the rebellion or they would be in such a pickle!

>SW
>making sense
since the prequels they just make shit up as it fits them

Flying through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy. Don't pretend you know how plopping a ship into an parallel dimension works.

FTL was reasonably consistent in all the Lucas films. Disney gives no shits however.

Not an specialist about star wars, but it catch me into the movie.
Earlier it was said that they have fuel for only one hyperspace jump. How it was possible for Holdo to make jump after running away for some time and refueling these smaller transport ships?
I guess you can argue that was very short jump, but still this doesn't add to me.

A deleted scene in Revenge of the Sith has Anakin and Obi-Wan moving through the fuel tank of the hijacked cruiser to avoid Droidekas.

there are

>Since when do space Capital ships require fucking "fuel" to travel?

since forever

>Haven't they at least discovered nuclear fission in the galaxy far are away?

shutup and go away nigger

>Nuclear fission
>No fuel
The things which power nuclear reactors are literally called fuel rods you fucking dunce. The radioactive element/isotope acts as the fuel and must also constantly be cooled, which requires a (usually) separate liquid coolant. Star Wars ships have always required fuel for both conventional STL propulsion and for their hyperdrives, fuck's sake they even show X-wings being refueled right on the goddamn screen in the first movie.

proof

The run in diesel user, that's why their so big and blow up when they get hit......

I'd assume they use so little fuel it's an afterthought, but with all the chaos at the sudden discovery of their base they didn't have time to fuel their ships

Even modern day humans found a way to install nuclear reactors onto ships that supply power for 50 years+ without any refueling.

The Prequel trilogy shouldnt be considered cannon by anyone with any respect for the Star Wars series

you use the fission to heat up steam that powers a wheel connected to a fan stupid

It was made by man who literally CREATED Star Wars, you are no one. You don't decide what's canon or what's not.

Idiots the ships have always needed fuel. It was half the missions in X-Wing Alliance to secure them

where are the goalposts?

>The slightest charge will set off a blast.
>Pylons all around them constantly sending off arcs of electricity.
>No blast.
What did Obi-Wan mean by this?

X-wings, yes.

But why not install nuclear reactors on capital ships? They could go on for 100 years without any refueling.

Besides, they have lightsabers, hyperspace travel and starkiller bases. it's pretty safe to assume they've developed something more advanced than nuclear power.

this. people are trying to hard to nitpick this.
fuel came up in this one because it's relevant to the plot of the movie.
it's not hard sci-fi morons it's DnD in space.

presumably why its a deleted scene.

because that's the setting of star wars.
it doesn't make scientific sense, how hard is that to grasp?

In all the ship cutaways I've seen pretty much every ship runs on some kind of fusion reactor powered by a radioactive liquid metal fuel.

Why not just ram into each other lmao?

>the ships have always needed fuel
>a game that came after OT
you are an idiot

I honestly didn't think these ships needed fuel.

It's never come up before in any movie. I cannot believe it came up in this one.

>half the missions in X-Wing Alliance

You mean a video game?

well, you better believe it motherfucker.
doesn't get more canon than that.

As if assassinating Luke Skywalker wasn't bad enough, this idiotic move invalidates all space battles past and future.

Honestly I'd accept a game's lore over that of any Abramshit movie. Honestly the body of Star Wars games has produced more and better lore than this trash made for the Transformers audience who loved the hyperdrive kamikazee because it made a bigerer prettier explosion!

Niggers they introduced Cloud City in Episode 5 do you know what Cloud City is and always was it's a massive fuel supply city it's always been super fucking important. The reason it was neutral until Vader showed up was because they made a deal with the Empire to stay independent as long as they sold them fuel for cheap and not deal with the Rebels.
Fucking, half the X Wing games have missions with secure or destroy the fuel tanks missions in them in regards to Cloud City. Empire at War Cloud City is the most valuable credits producing city because fuel. Battlefront, fuel tanks.

Star Wars has always had fuel. Argue that this was an utterly retarded plot point don't argue about something that's been a part of Star Wars canon since the second movie.

You too

it's because um uhh space geneva conventions, light speed weapons are banned because it's uhh too easy to accidentally light speed into uninvolved planets

What the fuck is this. It looks like half original trilogy and half modern effects. This some fan made shit or what

Haha nope, it's the new multi-billion dollar blockbuster Star Wars movie!

that lights the fire that will burn the first order down.

they're probably referring to propellant or material for fusion that they cant extract from space whilst underway

How retarded are you?

As is with other sifi franchizes warp engines and sublight engines at saparate from each other and usually dont use the same fuel.

like this senpai

Just 1 of the 100s of plot holes

Tibana gas is used for their weapons not starship fuel.

>500 years or whothefuckknows far into the future.
>Can draw energy from dark matter, essentially having unlimited fuel no matter where you are
ayylmao, we need a plot, introduce 60s tech, trust me I'm a arts major.

t. Rian Johnson

Tibana gas has been used for whatever the fuck Star Wars says it's used for including starship fuel.

Nuclear fission requires fuel though

>Luke, did I ever tell you about /lightspeedmissile? It's a combat maneuver that no one in the history of the Republic ever used in spite of having access to FTL technology for thousands of years. It is an attack so devastating that whichever side uses it first wins. End of story. There are no safeguards against it, so now that it has been discovered, it is wisest to resort to it at the slightest hint of danger, because if you hesitate, your side has already lost. It took a smart and brave lady general to discover the technique. Had she been just a bit less brave and a bit smarter the concept of "remote control" might have occurred to her as well and she could have been a good friend.

>no friction in space
>we need fuel to keep moving

what are neuton's laws?

>how does power make things turn on
The absolute state of Disney shills

How you like the way Leia's still just floating right there near the blown-out bridge, like she "coasted" to a stop. In space.

they were mining Tibana Gas, which is not fuel

Why do the ships slow down when they run out of fuel? shouldnt they just keep going at the same velocity forever...

If they accelerated out of range why not keep accelerating a little bit longer so they eventually cruise away rather than accelerating out of range then staying at the same speed as the first order ships

Why does space not seem to kill anyone in these movies (leia, stormtroopers, fin etc when captured)

so many questions

>No friction in space
Wew, fucking retard.

>all ships around the main ship have to abandon and join the main ship
>they dont bring all their feul with them so the main ship can jump twice in a row and not be tracked

>you see them refueling ships in ANH
>basically every hangar in SW saga has fuel tanks and shit
don’t pretend ships using fuel is a new thing in the universe

It wasn't a complete jump, just enough in the tank to send her ship into lightspeed to impact.

She used the force retard.

I can buy the fuel argument, however:
> Evacuation on its way
> Commander flagship is floating in space, assumed have full capacity of fuel
> one route redirection and hyper jump later
> too little fuel for another hyper jump
BRAVO RIAN, BRAVO!

Why didn't the First Order just offload a ship and /lightspeedmissile the "Rebellion" first?

Unconscious? Man, to have never previously been shown Force-pulling so much as a fucking broomstick, Leia's just a goddam prodigy, huh?

you are trying so fucking hard to be offended by this, it's just ridiculous.

Nuclear reactors also require fuel.

I'm not trying all that hard, tbqhwyphamalamadingdong. It's a shitty asspull in a shitty asspull of a movie.

Go make a video essay about it fag

It's not hard at all, Luke who is supposedly the strongest and most naturally gifted force user in the Star Wars universe required training just to lift some rocks or his own lightsaber, he never actually pulled off any feat as impressive as Yoda lifting the X-wing in the movies, and Leia must necessarily have started training even later in life than he did, isn't indicated to have ever been as powerful as Luke, and didn't benefit from any training by Obi-Wan or Yoda.

Here we have it lads, the disney shill

KEK

>Nuclear reactors also require fuel.
change reactor rods like once every 50-100 years.

They could but the empire keeps electing white males instead of investing in green energy.

It's 34 ABY shitlord, we have black troopers and female bridge officers in the first order now.
But no aliens. Check your human privilege.

nuclear particles go out the back
ship goes forward

In a galaxy far far away it only costs a quarter tank of gas to jump to hyperspace. No need for fission.

I’m 90% sure fuel is mentioned in either new hope or Empire

its the ULTIMATE weapon user dont you see?

why build a death star,star killer base, MASSIVE warships when all someone has to do is strap a hyperdrive to something relativity large aswell and you can program it to go into hyperspace right next to the enemy

DUDE JUST TURN YOUR BRAINS OFF HAHAHA also fuck drumpf and nazis, buy porgs

I think the problem is that it was never specifically stated until now that it could be a problem. We just assumed they ran on something and weren't retarded enough to forget to top it off before going to battle.

>We only have enough fuel for 1 light speed jump or 6 hours traveling
Alright 5 hours 59 minutes later
>Alright lets do a light speed jump

THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH FUEL FOR THAT SHIT

>FTL was reasonably consistent in all the Lucas films.

"point 5 past lightspeed"

Falcon goes from Hoth to Anoat to Bespin without working hyperdrive

it wasn't a very big lightspeed jump, though

It's space. you don't need to constantly pump the fuel when there's no friction. Nothing about this makes sense.

>Nuclear reactors also require fuel.

Did you know: nuclear ships that exist right now are built with all the fuel they will ever use in their life on them for simplicity sake? and that's just with fission energy.

>Running out of gas in space

Hahaha these rebeljews are truly a bunch of plebs!
