Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

To be fair, not everyone (myself included) has a firm grasp on astrophysics. But I always felt momentum was maintained in space.

Plus we never questioned the TIE Bombers in ESB, and those asteroids wouldn't have had much more gravity.

Put it down to the suspension of disbelief required for most SF.

The Y-Wings & Tie Bombers didn't use traditional bombs that were just dropped like the bombers in TLJ. They were actually self propelled. Both types of Proton Torpedoes & Bombs.

Proton torpedoes came in a wide array of sizes and yields; from massively powerful capital ship weapons designed for orbital bombardment, to small but nimble fighter-grade weapons like those Luke Skywalker employed against the first Death Star. A number of torpedo designs were shielded to protect them from being shot down either by skilled pilots or the target's defensive flak guns.

The energized torpedoes carried a devastatingly powerful blast from a proton-scattering warhead, and could be fired at much greater ranges than the standard laser cannon.

The proton bomb used self-propulsion, although very weak, and relied upon the inertia of the fighter deploying it. As it took a long time to travel to its destination, many pilots chose to release them close to their target, though this tactic carried the risk of being exposed to enemy fire.

Maybe Johnson & the Story Group should have done a little more SW canon research. But whatever. these new ones are now "magnetic", somehow not attracted to the actual ship dropping them. No matter how they are refuted or disputed, they will be defended as plausible.

The laser beam blowing up Alderaan was 100% legit accurate einstein certified nasa approved science.

Star Wars is real.

Well since Jawas, Dewbacks, Dianogas, IG88, Jabba, Chewbacca and island frog nuns are real I FULLY expect bombs being dropped in space by an armada to also behave realistically.

SW fail.

So is making a Science Fiction film and leaving out some SCIENCE...

So "dropping bombs" is not a nitpick, it's a damn insult of the franchise because their's no proulsion in those bombs AT ALL.. The ship could have gravity matrix as per all ships, but once those bombs descend past the ray shield, they should be floating making them easy targets with their own bombs underneath their ship...

Really? Did you see ESB?

Cause they were dropping bombs there too....but I suspect you will make another far fetched excuse for OT. (asteroids have gravity now....)



Space Leia actually makes more sense than people inside an open digestive track for very long minutes.

Effects on flesh in space.
The loss of external pressure would cause the gas inside your lungs to expand, which will rupture the lungs and release air into the circulatory system.

After about 10 seconds or so, your skin and the tissue underneath will begin to swell as the water in your body starts to vaporise in the absence of atmospheric pressure. You won't balloon to the point of exploding, though, since human skin is strong enough to keep from bursting; and, if you're brought back to atmospheric pressure, your skin and tissue will return to normal.

So its more realistic for space Leia than Space slug...especially people living inside a digestive track of a length of time...which was open to the vacuum and cold of space.

Sooo...light sabers, the Force, a million different Aliens, space people speaking English...and using American slang in some cases...all plausible...but some must draw the line at bombs that drop in space...alrighty then...

You forgot Force ghosts and most importantly Ewoks taking out armored soldiers with rifles

What's your vote for the MOST improbably aspect of Star Wars?

Hyper-space

The galaxy is charted so well that from any point a ship can quickly calibrate a route devoid of asteroids, rubble, other ships and debris? Charted so well, but Luke is still on an uncharted planet? These advanced computers capable of mapping hyper-speed routes couldn't piece together the missing piece of the map based on their whole understanding of the galaxy? And if every ship is in communication -- they'd have to be so they don't hyper into one another -- then how is any ship running rogue or off-the-grid? You wouldn't need bounty hunters; every ship would be tracked by default.

Never thought about hyper-space, did you? Just looked cool.

Well you just touched upon my favorite aspect of SW.

Lucas created a perfect spectrum of technology that ranged from beat up looking to unexplainable sleekness.

77 was a perfect era to create those unique designs in.

Yeah, the "fun" of Star Wars should always supersede the "science"... whatever science is.

Mark Hamill drops an h-bomb on Lucasfilm. Suggests George Lucas himself also hates what they've done to Star Wars.

"It's not just me", Mark said regarding his disapproval of how Luke Skywalker was portrayed in the Last Jedi. "The fans would have wanted Luke's fate to take another direction. I like being out of my comfort zone, but that was pretty extreme." Later in the interview, Mark adds:

It will never be the same again without [George Lucas]. When I have George on the phone, we are talking about the 7th and the 8th. But I will not betray his trust and I will keep what he tells me confidential. I'm sure it was very hard for him to let go of his creation, just as it is for me to be part of something when he is no longer our guide. But you have to cash in and hope for the best. Hope the best, but expect the worst.
