Space cannons have projectile drop

>space cannons have projectile drop

Why did they put that in? Is it still "muh WW2 aesthetics"? It's never been depicted that way in other movies and the scenes work just as well with straight laser.

>what is a b-wing / y-wing

fuck you rian johnson

star wars is not a science lesson and this is not the first time bombs have been depicted falling in space

>HURRRR TFA ONLY USED X-WINGS WHERE ARE MY NEW THINGS
>HURRRR THERE'S NEW THINGS IN TLJ WHERE ARE MY Y-WINGS AND B-WINGS

It looked very jarring when Snoke's ship was bombarding the rebel cruiser. I don't know how anyone important in CGI/editing/post-production hadn't vetoed it and had it fixed.

How did the Leia in Space scene work that was some fucking bullshit

Yeah I didn't like it. Frankly if they want to invoke WW2 imagery I would prefer if the ships have giant fuck off turbolaser turrets down their centreline (or along the 'wings' for Supremacy) so they can fire boardsides.

why didnt the first order just have one star destroyer go into hyperdrive and come out a little ahead of the rebel cruiser? Then it could just turn around and obliterate it.

Kill yourself

>star wars is not a science lesson
That doesn't give them the excuse to blatantly defy common sense. It's called internal consistency you drooling retard, look it up.

>this is not the first Time Bombs have been depicted falling in space
Doesn't keep it from looking stupid as all fuck. It's zero gravity, nothing falls. And if the excuse is the bombs are guided or propelled somehow, then that would make them missiles and there's no reason why the fuck you would need to fly ludicrously close to your target instead of just launching them and flying away like every other missile-launching ship ever has done.


>WHERE ARE MY NEW THINGS
>WHERE ARE MY Y-WINGS AND B-WINGS
Has it occurred to you that it's two different groups of people who say this?
Wait, shit, it actually probably hasn't. Christ the average movie watcher is a dumbass.

what if the space battle didn't take place in orbit at orbital speeds, and the ships were simply hovering above the planet using their antigravity, so that their projectiles would drop

Star Wars is not a science lesson. Let the past die you chucklefucks.

>new republic forms
>what should we do with all these star destroyers
>just scrap em
>we dont need em
>we have freighters we can slap some armor onto if we need to

Why would you want to hover instead of going into orbit though? What advantage would that offer?

I was triggered when the star destroyers hyerspaced in the and the PEOPLE ON THE PLANET could HEAR them.

HOLY FUCK THIS MOVIE WAS TRASH

Yeah, in theory it's a fine idea because it's using WW2 logic, kinda, but in practice it felt a bit too far.

Was also waiting for those. At least we got an A-wing at some point.

>That doesn't give them the excuse to blatantly defy common sense.

It actually does. As you've pointed out in your own post, there's a lot of gaps between the available tech and how the people in the movies choose to use that tech, and that's fine as long as there's some kind of internal consistency. I think it was just that this sequence played out that logic too far, not that the logic was bad.

the resistance is not the new republic

The universe doesnt make sense in NuWars

Why does the first order have infinitely more funding and weapons than the actual government

Why doesnt the republic raise another clone army to fight the first order

>there's a lot of gaps between the available tech and how the people in the movies choose to use that tech
What the fuck does that have to do with lasers curving to hit something? Lasers are projections of light, light doesn't curve except around massive gravity wells.
Since you obviously didn't look it up, internal consistency means this: "Aside from a very few breaks in reality that are specific to the movie, everything operates exactly as it does in real life." And there is absolutely no established reason why that would happen. Fuck, it doesn't even make logical sense why you would build a laser to curve. You're in space, there's no need to arc shots, everything flies in a straight line until it hits something.
It was so monumentally stupid that even if the rest of the movie was good (it wasn't, it was a shitpile), those shots alone would have taken me out of it

What are the chances that the Resistance/Rebellion reactivates an old CIS droid production facility to bolster their numbers in Episode IX?

I'm literally kicking myself for not considering this. Jesus. Working in retail this long has destroyed my ability to think.

What's the deal with Rian adding in a bunch of scenes that completely destroy any past logic in favor of just looking cool?
>New slow ass bombers that are so fragile a piece of tie fighter can go right through one, causing a chain reaction which blows up three. These slow ass extremely fragile ships need to be directly above their target to be effective too
You can tell this entire scene was here just to be a homage to WW2
>Hyperspace ramming being so effective, yet it's never been thought of to use this before for something like the Death Star
>Phasmas armor being blaster proof, yet regular troopers aren't for some reason?
>Finn being able to drag Rose all the way back to the base without being shot
>Finn knows how to fly now?
Just put in here to show his sacrifice which he wasn't even allowed to have
>Like OP said, turbo lasers arcing in Space

>star wars is not a science lesson

Does not excuse violating the common sense. Particularly in the movie which uses technobabble to advance the plot several times.

>and this is not the first time bombs have been depicted falling in space

Not in Star Wars.

What about the way the hotter asian sister lies at the bottom of the bomber with absolute NOTHING between her and space as if it was just air and not the lethal VACUUM OF FUCKING SPACE that should suck her out of the bomber and into a horrible death?

Or how after Leia marypoppins herself back into the ship they just open the door for her without any sort of airlock and without experiencing decompression and, again, everyone being sucked out to the fucking VACUUM OF SPACE???

I imagine that the interior of the ship is contained within some kind of shield and that the bombs in addition to having explosives, have some kind of basic gravity manipulation and trajectory computing like the black imperial probe droids. It doesn't seem like too much of a stretch for the bombs to have that, but it should have been explained to some degree.

The arcing laser blasts in space was sort of dumb. Then again, space in star wars has always been treated kinda like atmosphere. There's no real practical way for winged craft like the X-Wing to turn in space merely with central back-mounted thrusters.

You could potentially turn a X-Wing by applying differential thrust to the four engines. Or more likely the engines have vectored nozzles.

I thought hyperspace was another dimension that didn't affect this one. Otherwise; hyperspace attacks would be too overpowered. When Admiral Tumblr rammed the ship with a hyper jump, that was stupid. Why not just have hyperspace missiles that kill everythin ggg

Not a consistent universe anymore/

>mousewars
>using anything from the prequels
pick one and only one

I could have sworn that someone involved in the production of Ep IX (Maybe JJ himself) said that it would bring all three trilogies together, or something along those lines. Considering that almost everyone from the prequel era is dead by now, the only thing I could think of would be droids and ships from the era.

then what the fuck is it
