How do the bombs drop if theres no gravity in space?

How do the bombs drop if theres no gravity in space?

It's a movie, m8. The bombs aren't real.

I thought about the same thing.

this is stupid, Rich offered a plausible explanation literally a second later

magnets that are attracted to bad guys

Magnetic shit, or some sort of propulsion. It wasnt explained and ITS A CHICK FLICK YOU KEK!! Chicks don't care how things work.

Why didn't they just use Y-wings?

How are there explosions in space?

They are launched out of the ship

Turn off your brain you white shitlord. Don't you know the force is female. Bombs do what they need to do. We don't need any mansplaining.

Why was Rose's sister so much prettier than her

not dropping, flying .a very subtle nudge would send them the distance

They're clearly propelled off of those bomb rails in one way or another.

hur dur how do suns exist if no oxigen for fire?

How do the magnets know which ship to target.

Wouldnt they attach themselves to the ship theyve just came from, or is the Rebellion Ships made of space wood?

>Slow as fuck Bombers
>TIE squadrons outnumber them 10-1
>Don't shoot the last one down before the payload

The continued incompetence of enemy pilots will always bother me about this entire universe

Well, they look pretty damn heavy.

>theres no gravity in space
There's no braindead wojak capable of describing your post.

>there's no gravity in space

jesus fuck

The force, dummy.

>How do the bombs drop if theres no gravity in space?
Magnetic rails push them out.

Why not drop them from miles away then??

What if the rails instead push the ship away from the bombs?

Flat earth confirmed, roundies btfo!

SCIENCE

>there no gravity in space
oh look honey another star wars fan that's an imbecile

why didnt they just create a bunch of cruisers with auto pilot and just hyperspace ram the Death Star, Dearth Star 2, the shield base in Rogue One? Starkiller Base?

it would save a bunch of lifes desu

The same way a light beam can have a controlled length of 2-3 feet and be resisted by another similar light beam.

we already have those toys

Hyperspace collisions, whether they be intentional or by accident, could devastate or even destroy a planet. Considering the fact that the output of the reactors of many Capital ships rivaled or eclipsed that of a star, and that the energies needed to make hyperspace travel possible were vast, one could unleash a great deal of destructive power on a target. Even if a planet had its planetary shielding up at the time of a hyperspace collision, it could still have the potential to kill millions on a world such as Coruscant just due to the fallout.[4] One of the more famous hyperspace accidents occurred during the Clone Wars, when the battlecruiser Quaestor collided with the Separatist planet Pammant, fracturing it to its core.[5]
Gravity generators could be used to create an artificial interdiction field which stopped hyperspace travel in a particular area by mimicking the outer fringes of a celestial body's gravity, useful for both pulling ships out of hyperspace en route and preventing enemies from escaping to lightspeed during engagement. Less affluent groups, such as pirates, dragged large asteroids (or planetoids) into trade routes in lieu of the generator or starship method, providing them with both a means to stop shipping and a temporary base or shield against hostile fire.

>so why didn't they have an Interdictor
Because the film is stupid. But this is something that was also in the originals. Han says that he needs to plot the course so that they don't fly into a sun.

Why do planets go "boom" when there is no sound in space

Nothing in Star Wars make scientific sense. It's all force or whatever. Don't think too hard about it

There's gravity inside all of the ships. In fact I don't know why they felt the need to explain the bombs with magnetism. It makes perfect sense to me that they would fall while inside the ship's generated artificial gravity field, and then just continue on their trajectory after they're out of it.

they could be spring loaded or repelled by magnets or antigrav bomb bays.

There was literally a whole scene dedicated to rose struggling to drop them with the remote to activate their magnetism or whatever was powering them to "drop" did you even fucking watch the movie?

This is the same as that non-criticism saying how Luke is infallible and would NEVER think about killing kylo and that was also acknowledged as a fleeting thought of Luke and he decided not to kill Kylo its just that Kylo woke up seeing the ligtsaber on him and reacted

it wasn't rose, it was rose's sister violet

It's explained that the bombs are magnetically fired in the supplementary material. The bay doors opening and the bombs "dropping" was just for dramatic effect. Of all the things wrong with this trash movie that's what you're going after?

So the bombs are magnetically attracted to a ship hundreds of miles away and not the ship they just came from?

Wouldn't the vacuum suck them out?

dude just turn your brain off

Wouldnt the vacuum suck the pilot and the atmosphere out too ?

Simple physics. If they are flying towards the target area and pull up and detach the bombs their momentum will carry the bombs on the original path. This is of course hoping they make it out of the bay without hitting your own ship on the way out or completely missing your target because you didn't detach them at the right time. Maybe you shouldn't think too much about it as it takes a Rick and Morty levels of IQ to understand.

just turn you're brain off lol did you see the porgs

Ever heard of magnets, brain dead nigger?

That ignore Luke character development, he refused to slay a defenseless Vader and Sidious because he aknowledged that was inhumane at the end of the movie, now he's almost killing an innocent child?

How do the magnets know which ship to go to. Arent they attracted to the closest ship (the one they just came from)

1000x this

They use magnets that are only attracted to bad guy metal, you idiots.

>ITT

>they use intelligent magnets that are attracted only to enemies
>magnets able to think, have feelings too
>were tricked into thinking the hull of the enemy ship was a new friend
>each bomber carries hundreds of the naive innocent magnet bombs. Each time a bomber drops its payload, it's basically a school shooting

>magnets able to think, have feelings too
ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE IS FEMALE

People who keep posting this convince me that a lot of the board hasn't even seen the movie. This is like the dumbest thing to nitpick in this scene. Off the top of my head, here's like four or five other, dumber parts of the same scene:

-When Rose's sister is knocked off the ladder, she lays at the bottom, and kicks the ladder to get her remote to fall. What the fuck? What kind of shoddy piece of shit ship is so flimsy that a skinny asian girl can kick a ladder and the entire top part of the ship shakes?

-Why would the poorly staffed (though why they are poorly staffed when this movie takes place AFTER the First Order established themselves as evil terrorists makes no sense. They tried to say in TFA that most of the Republic didn't think the FO was a threat, and that's why Leia's Resistance was a small fleet. Now, after the capital fucking planet was destroyed, you'd think they'd be able to scrap together a volunteer army) Resistance send like eight bombers, each with a valuable pilot and tons of bombs, when one was more than enough to destroy the entire Dreadnought?

-Basically the entire movie is, "The First Order is tracking us, we can't escape until we stop them doing so", but the FO never does anything while they're sitting right next to them. For two hours they're right on their tail, presumably with thousands of soldiers ready to deploy in TIEs, the twin ion cannon things that were "Death Star tech", and a severely outgunned and outmanned Resistance right in front of them, but nothing ever happens. Even when everyone but Holdor leaves on escape pods, it's like the FO can't see them or something? They don't start shooting them right away with thousands of lasers and TIEs, even though escape pods obviously have no way of defending themselves.

1/2

>hurr durf you need to read this novel/encyclopedia/guide to understand what wasn't explained in the movie
FUCK OFF

-Holdo's ship has shields, they're shown blocking lasers blasts like two or three times, but the giant FO ships don't have a way to protect themselves from Poe's one man attack? Even scrambling TIEs to get him, which canonically are faster and more dangerous (but suicidal) then X-wings, is only considered after they lose like four stationary cannons, which apparently can't hit Poe because he's "too fast". Dumb as fuck selective logic throughout every space encounter in the movie.

-I'm not going to complain about the lightspeed kamikaze attack, not because it's not stupid or world-breaking, because it is, but because it's been discussed to death. I will ask, however, what the point was. She rams the flagship craft carrying Kylo and Hux and presumably most of the army, and destroys several ships behind them, but minutes later they're landing a dozen AT-ATs or whatever those gorilla ones are and Kylo and Hux appear fine and even have an entire bridge of subordinates still. They still seem to have 100x the soldiers of the Resistance, especially during the end scenes when it seems there's like a dozen Resistance members left.
