Rutibex posted:it would be nice if they came up with some cool new sci-fi things instead of just doing endless call-backs But how would you know its Star Wars? With the tens of thousands of planets, the tens of trillions of people each on them, Star Wars is always and should be about 10 people max. Half of which are related to the one family. Otherwise how would you know which toys to get.

Leia gets hit in the shoulder with a blaster and it doesn't blow her arm off, she doesn't even seem to bleed. it just sort of knocks her over hey, she looks very uncomfortable for like 10 seconds

As the movies went along they more or less just became laser guns, but I feel like they're something else in ANH, something that fits Obi-Wan's description of "clumsy and random", but also incredibly destructive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNoCDvJpmPU&t=63s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3es4wOyz-A&t=33s

Plus there's zero known Jedi and a single known Sith in the OT. I'll chalk up "less damage" to Leia having main character plot protection. Considering you are literally shooting extremely powerful kinetic energy at your target, there's no way it actually hurts less than a bullet and almost certainly deals far more damage.

the Skywalker family is immune to blasters. It's why Chewbacca's bowcaster blows up a wall in TFA but when Chewie shoots Kylo with it it doesn't instantly rupture all his organs and make him explode from the inside.

Where they couldn't hit anything worth a drat and were essentially inferior to Bows/Crossbows, but their sheer ability to punch through armor made it so everyone more or less had to use them. Which led to centuries of men wearing no armor shooting impossible to accurately fire guns at each other.
