About this picture Iseeyouseemeseeyou posted:what's up with the supporting poles on the circular ships? you don't need structural supports like that in a vacuum The supports are supposed to support the rims of those round ships. They're known has Hapan Battle Dragons and those stabilizers exist to help support a pair of gun rings which rotate rapidly around the rim of each saucer to bring a fresh gun in to fire and rotate out guns which are currently recharging. This was necessary because Hapes was an extremely wealthy isolationist star cluster and they did not have the "quick charge" turbolaser technology that every single other space faring civilization uses and Hapan turbolasers take like 3 times longer to be ready to fire than any other turbolaser. In fact, the refusal to turn over technology is one of the reasons that relations are strained between the republics/the empire and Hapes. The Hapans eventually ally with the new republic and still do not get the quick charge technology until something like a decade later. And it's completely retarded because everyone uses this technology. Plenty of civilian ships come with a couple of turbolasers stock out of the shipyard if they're big enough and there are regulations for how much you can legally strap to a given ship. For example, Booster Terrik (famous smuggler) has a privately owned hedonistic resort Star Destroyer and he's legally allowed to have 10 heavy turbolasers, 10 heavy ion cannons, and some unknown number of laser cannons and missile launchers attached to his ship. And if you wanted to ask "well maybe he's got the slow turbolasers too..." No. His ship was a military spec Imperial Star Destroyer Mark 2. I have no idea what exactly that means except that it absolutely did have fast charging heavy turbolasers and they just yanked off the weapons he wasn't allowed to have on it and let him keep the rest. They could just send out a spy with fake credentials and a boatload of cash to buy a stock Corellian Corvette right off the new ship lot and they'd have had the technology to reverse engineer. Or bribed a goddamn minor weapons designer who added a nice doodad that they're putting in every new turbolaser to emigrate to Hapes and let him live in the lap of luxury for the rest of his life. Or ask pretty much any smuggler since half of them have put turbolasers on their cargo freighters. A dozen spies armed with cash and signs that say "I need to buy a turbolaser!" sent to a dozen random populated planets would probably return at least 3 units to study.

Improbable Lobster posted:The book where Han is a Space Date Rapist right They didn't have sex in that book so it wasn't rape, just garden variety kidnapping and blackmail leading to another whacky adventure where being in danger from someone other than Han makes her forget that he used a Roofie Cannon on her. There were so, so many things wrong with that book.

The force literally does anything and everything; from opening doors to moving galaxies and never stops being able to do more poo poo. I don't know what Lucas originally intended for the force to be, but in the EU it is a deus ex machina that does everything the human mind can possibly conceive and more. It is worse than nanomachines in Metal Gear Solid, and worse than magic in any fantasy setting.

Still reading through this thread, but has anyone mentioned these dudes yet? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/T%27landa_Til Sentient rhinos with psychic horns that make people feel like they're on ecstasy. The rhinos bring space tourists to a planet and then brainwash them into joining their slave-cult, and then have them harvest space-drugs from spiderwebs. Han Solo had to rescue his then GF from a space rhino Jim Jones with the help of a cat man named Muuurgh. I actually remember that one being fairly decent.

The skull-dude aliens posted a few relies up calculate space-navigation math in their heads, because of this their ships don't have navigation computers. Those skeleton boys are just so gosh darn space-smart. So there's probably some force power to do it, yeah.

I saw the first episode of Rebels and thought it was pretty okay. Not good enough to watch the second ep, but good enough that I might do it next time I have the free time to sit around and watch a children's cartoon. I like that the main guy is just Disney's Aladdin with a name change thrown into the middle of Tatooine. The Jedi gives me douche chills though, I hope he dies like every other mentor character in this series.
