Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2)

[ironwez20]

Star Wars for children! Everyone do you here what this..... Star Trek fan said? It’s time to rise up against your greatest enemy and stop fighting each other.

Lol don’t mind me just trying to start a stars wars vs Star Trek war to see who would win in this age old debate

Too little too late, but the SW comics are now showing the ST wasn't the first time Luke sank his X-wing and tossed his saber:

Is it gonna be a thing?

Just watched the movie again. Honestly, the worst part for me is the useless Rose/Finn plot-line. Almost no scene with the two of them is good, just drags the entire movie down.

 

[Prime Clone]

I concur. The scenes on Achoo and Crait are pretty awesome, Canto Blight not so much.

 

[Prime Clone]

Is the Star Trek and Star Wars war stil going?

Recommenced, hostilities have:

 

[a-dev]

Skywalker and Kirk having the bants.

 

[TonTon]

Good stuff.

Trek was for the thinking man. Wars was for children. But I was always more of a child at heart, so I never quite connected with Star Trek the same way I did with Star Wars. That said, I don't think Trek should have ever tried to become Star Trek Wars.

Yes I have noticed that SW fans don’t seem to be using their thinking abilities a whole lot ;-)

Finally, all those poor, damaged fans have had their day.

For anyone interested that one guy who was going to "fix" TLJ completed his fan edit. Here it is: https://www.bitchute.com/video/Io9hILdeiT0S/

Some pretty cool tweaks actually. I didn't watch the whole thing but the intro is much better with all the comedic bits removed. "Initiate magnetic bombardment" will definitely make some people happy, lol. No saber tossing. I skipped to a couple other parts and it looks like he was on the same page as a lot of people who took issue with the film. Anyone wanting to see Ackbar go out in a blaze of glory skip to 1:34:00 and enjoy the show. Great ending with Luke triumphantly looking at the sun (not dying) and no Broom Boy.

Apparently not all of his updates are seamless though. I've read that he's added poorly dubbed dialogue into some extended sequences and amateurish CGI so I don't know how well the whole thing plays from beginning to end.

Thank god the momma jokes are gone, but I still didn't have the patience to get past the first battle...
It still makes me scratch my head that the FO's Star Destroyers never fired a single shot against the resistance ships; they just let the Dreadnaught handle the entire battle. At least in ROTJ there's a reason the Star Destroyers don't engage at first in the Battle of Endor.

About the “need” for magnetic bombs. If you accept the idea of artificial gravity in ships, which is a given in SW, there’s no need for magnetic bombs. When the bombs start falling inside the ship, because of the artificial gravity, there’s nothing to stop the momentum when the bombs enter space and they will keep ‘falling’ - moving in that direction the artificial gravity pushed them forever. So the magnetic explanation is just to keep it ‘simple’ for people.
Besides... does it matter? When was science ever a real factor in a fantasy space world where there’s sound in space and all planets, moons and asteroids have the same gravity when you step on them...?

 

[devilof76]

It doesn't matter.

 

[Prime Clone]

That was always the explanation in my mind, but I was never that good at zero-G physics. Thanks for confirming!

I agree the bombs never needed to be magnetized. The same artificial gravity that caused Paige to fall would have pulled the bombs downward where they would have simply continued to "fall" as they left the open hatch of the ship.

BUT NO! Thats a point as to why this film is so BAD!

Your gonna upset the youtube crowd who needs long lists to justify why they hate a film as a group.

That's a very good point!
Hadn't thought of that. I'll have to give it some thought, but it sounds perfectly logical.

However, I do believe there are certain things that are "accepted" in Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies, and once you deviate from that, it gets people scratching their heads and wondering "what's wrong with this picture?", because it just doesn't click with what you've seen.
The falling bombs is one example, but there are other moments in TLJ that are equally as odd, like Poe's u-turn -which looked completely out of place- or the laser shots doing parabolic arcs in space, not to mention the hyperjump kamikaze run.

I know ... Flogging a dead horse but it still just seems super impractical, bombs casually drifting down towards intended target based off of falling trajectory obtained from being deployed within ship and "falling" downwards due to ships faux gravity. Leaves a lot to chance, is slow, dangerous to own craft and seems wildly inaccurate. In WW2 it was the best they had given their current technology and those bombs didn't have to fall through space, now we use self propelled missles with on board targeting computers. In the OT they already had a better alternative with the Y-Wing bombers ... I just can't .... Rrrraaaaaaagh nerd rage brain implodes look what you did Rian Johnson you made me think

The "bombs" dropped by the TIE Bombers in ESB did the same thing. They "fell" in a straight line perpendicular to the ships dropping them just like real world bombs so I don't see the issue.
