Comment on Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers

  I remember seeing this shit in theaters and losing my mind over how stupid it was. It’s in the middle of an incredibly bad movie anyway which doesn’t help, but I just can’t imagine how many people had to be involved with this creative choice and how ar least some of them must have brought up how stupid dropping bombs like that is in a space fight and yet they still went with it. Dumbest shit ever.

    Didn’t TIE bombers bomb asteroids in TESB when Solo and crew were hiding in a giant worm? Sure looked similar, IIRC.

      That’s like a land mass at least. In this scene they were doing this in straight up open space against another ship

    but there’s gravity in space

      Im honestly more concerned on how those bombs make it through the atmosphere and how much time it takes them to reach their destination.

  Remember how in TESB, Han and Leia land in an asteroid crater/cave to hide and go out in the vacuum with nothing but an emergency airplane O2 mask thinking that’s OK? And gravity is earth normal gravity?

  I’m pretty sure “a galaxy far far away” means the laws of physics are a bit different.

  Also, let people enjoy things.

    While that happening, there are also TIE bombers flying past dropping bombs on them.

  During all my life, from all the movie, EU, and games, they have specialized ships to do bombardment missions,. Y wings, and A wings for surgicals.

  The fucking scene threw me off so hard… it was so fucking stupid. Just like the rest of the movie eventually.

  Suspension of disbelief, or belief in suspension tech?

  Start with land speeders… what holds them up? If you’re in a universe where it’s simple to make anti-gravity devices, why not use them to “fly” your big space ships too?

  A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, they knew things we still do not, and apparently they did not know many things that we do.
