Roach Warehouse posted:I don't think I liked Rogue One as much as a lot of people, but I'll admit its highs were pretty high. I enjoyed a lot of Rogue One, but there were some odd choices. Like in the beginning of the movie we're introduced to Saw and his crew, then they all die, then later we get a bunch of rando rebels to fill out the strike team and then THEY all die. Even if you had to have Saw die in the first half of the film, wouldn't it have made more sense to have Jyn and company rescue the rest of Saw's crew and have it be them who go along to attack Scarif? By having them around for the whole movie, especially if you give some of them lines and personalities, maybe let them mourn Saw with Jyn, then maybe we care at all when they die.

OhFunny posted:Grand General Tagge was smart enough to know this. Even Super Star Destroyers are arguably too big. Imperial class Star Destroyers are actually about perfect, because they're so versatile. Each one has fighters to control a wide area of space, ground troops (including AT-ATs and AT-STs for armored support) to hold critical targets on the ground, devastating orbital bombardment capabilities for when the ground troops aren't enough, and are dangerous combatants in space combat on their own. A Death Star's weight in regular Star Destroyers would have been much more useful than either Death Star turned out to be.

Especially if said Star Destroyers had Tie-Defenders. Seriously, as someone rewatching the last episodes of S4, I could just see Thrawn getting more and more furious at how situation is slipping from his control. He never let it effect his judgment in tactic or actions, but it didn’t matter. Thrawn’s biggest weakness was the Force. The Force isn’t just Jedi and Sith, its also life itself. And it’s doesn’t follow logic. Thrawn was off Lothal only for a few days, and that’s all it took to derail his Defender project, and in his attempt to fix the situation Pryce caused, would cause Lothal to kick the Empire off the planet.

The Tie Defender is an overdesigned, super expensive crutch for pilots who can't achieve similar results in a Tie Avenger.

It’s a drag racer, at least in tabletop X-Wing. Goes fast as all hell, but can’t turn for poo poo. Also, can’t fit 3 of them into a list...no matter what pilots you choose

All of you are fools. After all, it’s obvious that superior method of hyperspace travel and combat is by purgill. So what if you need the Force to get them to listen to you? The results speak for themself!

I suppose this counts for the purposes of the thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynDMTiamRRY Worth noting that this was originally announced for D+, I wonder if their recently getting a new Direct-to-Consumer head might have changed things.

Could also be that they're moving it online since YouTube kids content is less of a poo poo show than it used to be in the past. No comments and hidden stats.

Eh it's not just TLJ, after he got raked over the coals for that one, he clarified that nobody knows Star Wars like Lucas and he doesn't see any of it as being as "valid" as when he was making it. He seems like a decent enough guy other than taking potshots at directors for "not doing their homework"...but he keeps. Doing. That. One. Thing.
