Malcador Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 The slow motion space chase was silly, but Star Wars has always been pretty silly. I actually really like the Kylo and Ren dynamic. There were basically three movies happening in TLJ, and the Luke-Ren-Kylo relationship was easily the most interesting and had the best acting. But really, it's space fantasy. I've said it before, take it way less seriously people. I dunno, there's silly and then there's just stuff you can't buy in universe. Such as why does a capital ship need to provide cover for starfighters. Especially after two of them near decapitated the Rebel fleet. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
majestic Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) I dunno, there's silly and then there's just stuff you can't buy in universe. Such as why does a capital ship need to provide cover for starfighters. Especially after two of them near decapitated the Rebel fleet. In a movie series where starfighters (well and a modified light freighter) destroyed two Death Stars, the Starkiller Base and the Executor no less. Oh and Poe took out a dreadnaught's entire defensive weaponry with a single X-Wing. All without capital ship support. The whole chase scene falls apart considering that within well established series canon the First Order would have just launched every TIE available and easily intercepted a single cruiser with a frigate and a corvette for support. Especially since the movie actually shows Ren's Silencer and its escort having heavy missiles. The ragtag rebels had B-Wings capable of destroying Star Destroyers 25 years before this movie happened.

Lexx Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Haha and now I remember the stupid space WW2 bombers. Did they ever heard of something called physics? I don't think so. Come on, you can hand wave A LOT in movies, but all this crap is just too much. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Amentep Posted April 18, 2018 Author Posted April 18, 2018 Haha and now I remember the stupid space WW2 bombers. Did they ever heard of something called physics? I don't think so. In a movie series that has ships flying by with screeching sound experiencing the doppler effect as they go by...do you have to ask? That said, I'm pretty sure the director and producers have said the bombs were designed to propel themselves via a magnetic lock onto their target... EDIT: NINJA'D! 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

The sound in space is emulated for the benefit of the pilot. It's as good an explanation as magnetic lock bombs. Except bombers in Star Wars in the past could launch self-propelled bombs.

Blarghagh Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Parsecs are distance, lightsabers are lasers that somehow just stop in midair, and people talk to ghosts.

213374U Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 There's that scene in ESB that has TIE Bombers dropping ordnance on asteroids in much the same fashion. Unless the asteroids are made of strongly ferromagnetic minerals, the magnetic thing don't fly. But really, why bother with fighters, bombing runs, and general heroics? Just slap a hyperdrive on a hot dog stall and point it at the "problem". Pow, we win, let's go for some death sticks. I mean, sure. Star Wars is basically synonymous with "rule of cool". But it's lame af to write a deus ex machina that renders the whole plot of the previous movies moot... twice. 2 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
Malcador Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 That would have been a great way for Ackbar to go out rather than some Admiral that's very new (I think she's in some comic book?) 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

injurai Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 Star Wars has sound in space. Except sound does exist in space.

Blarghagh Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Huh, that last Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom trailer looks like it's for a completely different flick than the other two trailers.
Amentep Posted April 19, 2018 Author Posted April 19, 2018 Did anyone post that here? That shot in the water reminded me that The Meg trailer came out: 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Lexx Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Looks like same stuff as always. I'll be surprised if that new Jurassic Thing will be mediocre at best. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Blarghagh Posted April 22, 2018 Posted April 22, 2018 If anything, at least we'll get nice new images out of Bayona as director. Honestly, even as a Jurassic Park fanboy since youth the only reason that I'm hyped for this is Bayona.

Hurlshort Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 I smell a Fant4stic. I don't know, Tom Hardy is a pretty dang good actor. It might not be great, but he will probably keep it in the watchable territory.
ShadySands Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 That's somewhat disappointing but I'll still probably be there on opening day Free games updated 3/4/21
