MrMojok posted:I don't know about impossible, it just reminds me of what JJ did with transporters. I was just goofing but the point of Interdictor class cruisers (which appeared in Rebels so still exist) is to block FTL jumps by projecting a weak gravity well. I assume you could hand wave it as a safety feature of hyperspace drives that Han removed or "who gives a poo poo" since space magic is real

Vishass posted:I assume you could hand wave it as a safety feature of hyperspace drives that Han removed or "who gives a poo poo" since space magic is real This isnt a handwave at all, its a stated feature of hyperdrives (in the EU) which is why the concept works. Its not like naturally going past a gravity well is going to drop you out, because the whole point of it is that you can accidentally paste yourself at lightspeed going into a mass like that. im sure hans illegally modified freighter can do poo poo like 'ignore proximity warnings' and 'manually override lightspeed procedures'. They did bypass the compressor of course.

Hyperspace travel only exists in Star Wars to allow writers to move characters from one location in the story to another location in a cool sci-fi way. There's no actual science behind it. Please don't be the kind of Star Wars fan to use information on Wookiepedia to source reasons for why making the jump to lightspeed and dropping out of hyperspace inside a shield wouldn't work and I wont be the kind of Star Wars fan who tells you to shut the gently caress up about it.

I remember being that guy back in high school. I got halfway through a technical manual of the Enterprise-D, reading about deuterium intermix chambers and antimatter injectors, and had a "What the gently caress am I even doing?!?" epiphany and never looked back. That's not a fun guy to be. Don't be that guy.

teagone posted:Interesting tidbit for those of you who watched the Clone Wars animated series. From The Force Awakens visual dictionary, the planet that the Starkiller base was built into was actually Illum. RIP lightsaber crystals. This isn't spelled out explicitly, just stated that they used a world known for energy-transmitting crystal deposits. So it's certainly possible, but not straight-up stated. Would certainly suck for building new lightsabers!

Do those people have to shut the gently caress up, too?

Would certainly suck for building new lightsabers! Someone overlaid the old canon map with the latest one that includes Episode VII locales and the location of the Starkiller Base lines up perfect with the location of Ilum. You're right it's not stated explicitly, but the maps line up quite nicely. Not to mention the climate/geography of the Starkiller base pretty much describes Ilum. *SPOILER See the overlaid maps here: http://imgur.com/NajYjwX teagone fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Dec 22, 2015 |

Crow_Robot posted:In regards to the politics thing, in and of itself, it's not bad. If you take the prequels apart piece by piece the only really bad 'things' are the writing for Anakin, Lucas' directing performance, the CGI, and Hayden's performance. You forgot midichlorians, which are actually a part of the PT that needs to be completely eliminated from canon because it's just that lovely. Everything else was a decent idea poorly executed, but midichlorians are just an abomination. It took The Force from something unique and mystical and reduced it to something quantifiable and joyless. Also, Yoda training literally all the Jedi when they were little kids... that's not okay at all. Yoda is wise and awesome, not some elementary school teacher.

I always thought it was more along the lines of " Okay kids, its Thursday, time for Master Yoda's lightsaber class" He obviously isnt at the temple all the time and has poo poo to do, so he probably runs a special class once in a while for a few hours.

Bigass Moth posted:She was immediately awesome at everything she did, and when she wasn't around everyone was talking about her. That is Mary Sue. Most of her skillset has to do with spending literally most of her life scavanging for parts on a lovely planet. The things that don't (i.e: piloting and using the force) are also things that every other novice Jedi we've seen has also shown natural talent for. Luke is a super-ace pilot despite never doing anything more complex than flying lovely bush fighters and Anakin "Spinning is a Good Trick" Skywalker wins an intense race using his own home-build shitpile followed shortly thereafter by blowing up a space station at the age of 9. "When she wasn't around people were talking about her" is an odd comment because the only time she isn't around is when she's kidnapped and at that point nobody really focuses on her but Finn.

It's that the Jedi Order believed they existed. Similarly, how do you think Yoda became wise if not by making mistakes such as brainwashing children and starting the Clone War? The secret to the prequels, and it's not much of a secret but apparently some people still need it told, is that the Jedi Order were the villains.

To be fair this is just how internet discussion shakes out. You have tons of different viewpoints flying around, debating each other simultaneously, so with any large, popular franchise you'll be bombarded with the voices of dozens of different people with disparate desires.
