[DiFabio]

Aye, I can live with that.

 

[Khev]

Suicide Squad >>>> All other Batman movies.

Particularly with regard to its solid three act structure, well fleshed out characters, and inspired CGI laden finale.

 

[Prime Clone]

Anyone else think giving the Death Star an intentional flaw devalues Luke's use of The Force to destroy it? It was supposed to be "impossible, even for a computer".

 

[Wor-Gar]

I still proudly have not seen Suicide SquaT.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The Force is pretty hokey -- like the good man says -- so I'd be fine with a Harmy re-visioning that removes all reference to the Force and makes Ben and everyone else in robes just crazy old monks who have lost their way.

Sacrilege? Yes. But it would fix a lot of problems.

Galen's flaw in no way increased the odds of hitting the exhaust port.

 

[Prime Clone]

Galen's flaw in no way increased the odds of hitting the exhaust port.

Perhaps, but it does make it seem less of a challenge.

I guess they needed a mechanism to demonstrate Galen was a good guy, but it still seems an unnecessary plot point.

 

[TonTon]

It doesn't change anything with Luke. He's not the one that analyzed the DS plans.

What would Galen's character be otherwise, just helping build the Death Star and then feeling bad and leaking the plans?

 

[Khev]

It doesn't change anything with Luke. He's not the one that analyzed the DS plans.

Yep. Not a single thing about the tactics against the DS in ANH changed retroactively because of anything Galen did. Saying that Galen diminished Luke's actions would be the same as saying that Princess Leia diminished his actions, or R2-D2, or the guy who plugged R2 into the computer. At the end of the day it still amounted to the same 1 in a million shot.

 

[Prime Clone]

It doesn't change anything with Luke. He's not the one that analyzed the DS plans.

My point is, he uses The Force to destroy the Death Star after other pilots fail.

What would Galen's character be otherwise, just helping build the Death Star and then feeling bad and leaking the plans?

I guess he could be working under threat to his family's lives? Or he could have been dead already but Jyn still has key information.

 

[Prime Clone]

At the end of the day it still amounted to the same 1 in a million shot.

In that case he Galen didn't do a very good job.

 

[Wor-Gar]

My point is, he uses The Force to destroy the Death Star after other pilots fail.

That's really the point after all, after all else has failed. I mean, they found a flaw in the reactor system -- that flaw we now know is Galen's fault -- but it doesn't change the flaw... nor does it change Luke's mission... nor his assist by the Force.

 

[DiFabio]

Mmm Death Stars are stupid.

If I were the rebels, I'd have an inside man take down the shields and tractor beam (like Obi-Wan did) then just have a large scale assault to try and take the damn thing over. Can't defend every hangar!

 

[Wor-Gar]

If the rebels has a Death Star, they would become as dangerous as the Empire.

 

[DiFabio]

The Rebels are dumb, they wouldn't know how to use it.

 

[TonTon]

My point is, he uses The Force to destroy the Death Star after other pilots fail.

I think as Khev said, he still does use the force. The force didn't blow up the reactor, it helped hit the shot.

 

[Khev]

Prime Clone's post made me realize further evidence of RO retconning away the prequels. Because TPM supports the silly notion that every large ship/base in the galaxy is susceptible to instant detonation if you sneeze on the main reactor. RO says that reactor technology is stable unless sabotaged. TPM further decanonized. Well done Prime Clone!

Bro ROTJ started that, not TPM. All they did was shoot a couple of lasers at the Death Star's huge ass main reactor and it blew.












All these one in a million chance of destruction things are lame plot MacGuffin's anyway. It would be like me trying to kill you by shooting a rubber band into your air conditioning vent to blow your house up. It would never work.
