One of the things I liked about that flick was the way it presented coming out of hyperspace, including that scene

I'm glad Gold Squadron was in the movie, Y-wings don't get nearly the screen time or recognition they deserve.

I was super happy to see the Ion Cannons take out a Star Destroyer too. That was super rad to see.

Lots of small things, that made that space battle fun.

This could have been auto completed by the navigation droid/computer, during the hyperspace jump.

You'd have a point if it was in deep space. They are jumping above a planet , so the alignment makes sense.
How about you complain about how everybody gets killed on screen just so fans can't say somebody survived the last attack.

And yet he needs a computer to draw breath.

Also: I doubt Vader is piloting the ship. That's some anonymous goon's job, one of those dudes with the goofy helmets. Some jackboot given 2 minutes to program a course could line it up just fine. No need to waste The Big Guy's time.

I think you mean podracer movie. I'd watch the poo poo out of a rocket chariot film that's basically Ben Hur meets Fast and Furious, in space.

The real ones (Bontan Ame) are fantastic, though--always soft, delicately flavored. They never last long around me, so I'm glad they're relatively hard to find (and pricey) here in metro Detroit.

When I was a kid I would have rather gone to the dentist than eat this candy. They were little disappointment squares.

I'm glad you like them though. I always feel bad if a candy has no fans...like those cheap pieces of taffy in black or orange wrappers that only exist during Halloween.

We have this candy up in the northeast US (it may be elsewhere, but I've never seen it outside of New England) that is made from sugar, coconut, and mashed potato. All of that is covered in dark chocolate, and it's loving delicious. My wife hates coconut and thinks potato in candy is weird (go figure), so I get the whole batch that my mom made for Christmas to myself. Awww yuss

Anyway, baseball gifs!

The arcade ones, I dunno. The original pc game was baller as gently caress though for its time. Lots of racers and maps to choose from, with multiplayer too. One of my favorite games as a kid, though I'm sure its aged pretty badly.

Probably the best version of the game, but as someone who has played one relatively recently it hasn't aged as well as you might think

I don't know how different the PC one looks but I have the N64 one, and it has.
