So, uh, why didn't they deploy the bazillion TIE fighters/bombers to destroy the rebel ships?
This is the Star Wars equivalent of chasing a small pirate boat with an aircraft carrier so you can hit it with a bazooka.
...
Because Ties have shit shields and Leia's ship is a massively defensible Rebel-era Carrier with layered shields that can probably withstand the barrage of an entire fleet of Ties?
Like the First Order's Dreadnought withstood one x-wing ?
in the movie they say the ships are out of range for the fighters to be supported by the Star Destroyers.
Or better yet, just jump into hyperspace then come back right in front of them. The First Order had multiple ships and no signs of low fuel.
...
All Poe did was destroy guns meant to fire at light craft.
Just have a tie fighter hyperspace ram it.
these look much better
This is so, so, SOOOOO retarded.
Why do literally ALL the alternate designs look better than the reheated OT designs we got? That Red SD is sexy.
turn your brain off and let the sjw flow, bro
the bottom two concepts remind me of the Protoss Tempest
These would have been visually good successors to the OT's SDs
didn't Kylo's entourage smash the Raddus' hangar and bridge? Why not disable the engines?
>half the fleet stays in pursuit
>half jumps around to intercept them
wow
JJ's such an unoriginal hack he couldn't even change designs to be familiar and unique
Two Ties just casually blew up the bridge, sending out dozens of them would be like piranhas feasting on a carcass.
... the only reason it’s shields didn’t get obliterated by the star destroyers pursuing it was because they focused full shield power to the rear. A squadron of TIE fighters could easily pick the ship apart, it would just be casualty heavy. Casualties have never been something that the empire was concerned with when it came to TIE pilots.
this
Like Disney would allow him to do that. JJ's just a corporate henchman, such calls aren't his to make.
Please don't tell me those were the initial designs for the new stormtroopers.
Those are so much better than the shit we got
I'm afraid so. The new book that just came out is full of originality.
why did they not simply hyperspace in front of them with a few ships and intercept them?
So what? The Empire never cared about sending dozens of TIE pilots to the doom if it meant overwhelming the Rebels.
But doesn't the First Order have operational hyperdrive? They are NOT out of range.
Oh what we could've had
Look at all that concept art, then look at the ones from the OT and prequels. Say what you want about that fat fuck, but if he makes u do concept art, he'll make it into the movie somehow. Almost every concept art was either realized or crammed away in some cut scene or background.
Whats's the name of the artbook?
That looks beautiful
>each barracks can hold 36,000 stormtroopers
>there's 15 rebels left in the base at the end of the movie
fuck the walkers just throw stormies at them
One? All of them!
I'll one-up you. It's been established that Interdictors are a thing in nuCanon. You'd imagine a ship as fuckhuge as the Supremacy would have a couple of those gravity tits that Interdictors have to prevent anyone jumping away and simply because of "why the fuck not?", since there's so much space to fill. Not only would it have prevented the gamebreaking hyperjump can of worms, it wold also have prevented from the Resistance fleet from jumping away in the first place, once in pursuit, rendering the whole "tracking through hyperspace" gizmo unnecessary. One already established mechanic rendering two plot points of TLJ unnecessary.
