It doesn't help that you dont really see any of it. I recognize the L-shaped cut, that much is obvious from the 3 limbed loss, but actually envisioning it in my head, complete with Anakin's acrobatics, doesn't work. Obi-Wan basically has to hold his saber straight up to take off the arm and then spin around to take off the legs.

dialhforhero posted:Well everyone knows that you have to fire your lasers grouped in twos or more to kill tie fighters in one 'shot'. X-wing series taught me that. To kill x-wings you have to hit them with 6 dual laser shots after shields are down. Am I the only one that always kept the cannons on single-fire? TIEs are small enough that on dual or quad fire, I usually only managed to hit with one cannon anyway. So all I had to show for it was two (or four!) times the wait until I could fire again and finish the bastard off. Oh, and yes, it was two shots to finish off a TIE fighter, three to take care of a TIE interceptor. Six (I think) for a TIE bomber. WHY DO I REMEMBER THIS IT HAS BEEN FIFTEEN YEARS

I used to play X Wing and TIE Fighter in a closet at middle school. One of our teachers had a secret computer set up in his room, and we basically were allowed to skip class and play every so often. My friend used to go apeshit when I'd hit CTRL E or whatever without him looking during his turn.

The fact that the TIE fighters were narrower than the X-Wing's cannon spread always pissed me off. It was such a waste keeping my cannons on quad fire to insta-kill a TIE fighter. X-Wing Alliance's auto focusing of the cannons was a god-send. That being said, the Z-95's cannon presets made more sense then the completely automatic cannon focusing the other fighters had. ...Great, now I have to go reinstall X-wing Alliance.

The thing to remember is that Anakin isn't stationary during all this, sopart of the exercise is trying to find the spot of air that all Anakin's limbs would have traveled through at some point. It is important that the Anaken/Obi-Wan duel make perfect sense. Now someone post the .gif if them swinging those lightsabers behind their respective backs in alternating rhythm.

His intention was to shoot down all three, and missing Vader and the other pilot was an error. He would have adjusted his aim and shot again but by that time the other two fighters had already crashed each other. Seems simpler that way.

Maybe, but why would he be inferring and logically deducing in the first place? His guns would have worked against Vader's fighter, maybe it would take an extra shot or two I don't know. So it really doesn't make any difference.

If you keep complaining, it's probably going to be retconned into Vader subconsciously force deflected the laser blasts away from himself and into the other guy, who he secretly held a grudge against for stealing the Death Star plans. Would that be better?

Just finished season two of clone wars. I liked most of it, I think the only real boring parts would be anything with duchess satine and the zillo beast. I really wish this show would have season finales that actually have the importance of a finale. That said, I did enjoy most of the boba fett arc.

Would that be better? The force did it is a completely valid explanation. Why didn't Han shoot Vader? Vader was needed to correct the balance of the force and the force guided Han's aim away from Vader. Or he uh missed but it's probably the force.

So, it basically sounds like they tried to create the exact opposite of what Karren Travis did, but as it turns out, the opposite of poo poo is also poo poo?
