i think the idea of a millitary deciding that a giant flying piston machine would be a good idea for an actual strategic weapon is just lol

a near infinite supply of materials through a huge galactic empire + instantaneous ftl travel means for endless conflict. each side eventually turns to mass producing thousands of loving worthless weapons that end up seeing use because both sides are just pissing away billions of ships casue with the endless weath and unoccupied territory they are just throwing poo poo away as fast as they can make it

so because they have nothing better to do they just make a piston ship

this is basically what i was gonna post because seriously wtf is that stupid piston ship? it makes no sense at all and is really dumb

and also it's really dumb that all those securitrons just sat around waiting for ol' mace to beat them up instead of all of them attacking him at the same time.

realistic space combat is ridiculously boring: mass accelerated at you from light years away or invisible lasers because coloured lasers are inefficient

also keep in mind that its fuckin' space fantasy, not space autism (tng)

if it was in space, like some orbital mass driver platform

As much as I love the story behind that B5 scene, the non-realism always felt a bit stretched. The rocks start glowing seconds after they are thrown, as if they were a few meters/km from the atmosphere, and their speed seems REALLY low (and the Centari ships appear stationary, which doesn't help either). I wish they would rely on the trick that they used a lot, not showing whoever is firing and whoever is being hit at the same time, so you get the impression of distance (I think JMS actually talks about that in one of those Usenet posts from back when they were making the series).

star wars is good fun but you really can't hold the universe to any sort of scrutiny or set of expectations because it's so convoluted and poorly managed. and people try to actually justify and understand that poo poo when it's literally just a cheap thrown together cash-in back drop for movies and games and TV now

with 40k at least you can say what did what but depending on whatever retarded eu or canon ur going by poo poo may be completely different

because the republic is horrendously corrupt and aristocratic and only cares about fake poo poo for nobles and the only difference between it and the empire is that at least the empire openly admits that it's terrible

they're literally willing to clone people to fight against robots to resolve trade disputes

"elan sleazebaggano" is the canonical name of a character who appears in one of the movies. like not expanded universe or anything, he actually has a scene where he talks with obi-wan.

and yet we still have spergs who take the star wars "universe" seriously.

nah it's just that the total recall thing had me thinking "what would be the worst science-fiction movie to remake?" and :nolan:

was just vaguely-plausible enough to be funny as the director. i figured that people would go "ha ha yeah wouldn't that be something" and leave it at that.

wait so lucas's lovely writing is actually internally consistent in the most interesting and unexpected way possible? like what if the prequels are a deliberate satire on the cartoony black-and-white morality of the original trilogy? really makes you think man.

no the original trilogy was back when Lucas still had Spielberg influences and before he proved you can make entire movies without any concern for movie making

yeah it's almost like these space fantasy action movies for kids emphasize visual flashiness over practical tactics and strategy.

or in simpler less ironic terms that you might have a better chance of understanding:

The Star Wars saga practically runs on Rule Of Cool. Most of the Big drat Heroes and Big drat Villains carry at least one Laser Bladed BFS, the Cool Ships maneuver like airplanes and sea vessels even though Space Does Not Work That Way, and despite the Evil Overlords in The Verse presumably knowing how to Nuke Em, every movie features a Big Badass Battle Sequence pitting tons of Mooks against each other. Needless to say, Crowning Moments Of Awesome abound oh god oh god oh god :suicide:

ahmeni posted:

it actually would have worked in the phantom menace and was blindingly obvious to the point of being a plot hole. yet another reason for why that movie sucks balls out of an rear end (made of more balls).

lucas used that excuse 14 years ago to justify jar jar and anakin "yippee" skywalker. not exactly a new development.

of course he's full of poo poo because the revenge of the sith was retardedly grimdark and violent, half of attack of the clones was a horrible boring "romance" that would put any preteen in a coma, and all three prequels were loaded with bullshit space government scenes that would put anyone in a coma. the obvious truth is that the man just has awful taste in everything.

this is also why it's a universe that telekinesis and clairvoyance both exist as forces harnessed by individuals from hundreds of different species, yet they cannot produce machines that replicate these powers, even after tens of thousands of years of study

what really seems like a dick move to me are the way artificial intelligences are treated by everyone, including jedi

ok, so the dark side happens from using the force to directly harm people, but since droids aren't strictly living you can just do whatever to them; throw them around, rip them apart, regardless if you're even in the middle of a conversation with one

lucas was a huge shitheel for that "i make movies for the children", i was 14 when phantom menace came out and i was super stoked. cant even say words about it

every movie had some kind of kid in it for inexplicably no reason at all, anakin, baby fett, sudden baby death star and the only good parts about anakin is when he slaughters innocent people because welp "dark side". He was supposed to be the "Chosen one" or whatever and all he turned into was an angry whiny kid that somehow got laid

the only thing i hope that j j abrahms does with star wars is finally break the mold of what a crap shoot the new trilogy is, match it up with at least empire strikes back, tones down the whole JEDI SITH PENULTIMATE ETERNAL STRUGGLE but he will probably just hire LOST writers and they will make it mysterious

or just take the philosophy from KOTOR2 and make it into a new trilogy

Jedi and Sith both suck equally kill them all

new hope was kinda edgy even by today's standards, in that it featured close-up shots of pilots burning alive inside of their cockpits

you clearly don't know much about kids. the only thing that'll make a kid care about something is having a kid in it. if you think that a kid would ever be interested in (let alone idolize) an adult character you're delusional. this is why they don't make batman toys, only action figures (which are for adults to collect).
